This was General Jackson, who lived at the corner of Ann and Court Streets. He was for years Prosecuting Attorney of Wood County, and one of the leading business men. His wife was Emma Beeson." From summary of the book "They Walked The Streets of Fame; the Parkersburg Jacksons" by Linda Brake Myers: "General John Jay Jackson, the progenitor of the second family presented in this book, was the grandson of George Jackson and the illegitimate son of John George Jackson, congressman, entrepreneur and brother-in-law to President James Madison. . . John Jay’s speech in Richmond regarding Virginia’s secession from the Union is a historical moment in American history. His views and those of his three sons during the formation of West Virginia are part of the historical scene." http://www.eg.bucknell.edu/~hyde/jackson/ParkersburgJacksons.html 1850 Census Parkersburg, Wood Co., Virginia References
