Person:Lavina Jackson (6)

Copied from 'The Indianian' pg 308; publishing data not available; page contributed by Richard L. Lapan, Sr.: "Mrs. Lavina Rumsey is the oldest living settler in Tipton, born at New Lancaster, Tipton county, October 29th, 1839, and removed to Canton, afterward named Tipton in March, 1845, thus being a continuous resident of Tipton for fifty-four years. She is the daughter of Newton J. and Sarah Leavell Jackson, who were among the first settlers of the county and of the town of Tipton."

There is an image of the joint gravestone for Newton, his wife Sarah, their daughter Lavina and her husband Isaac Rumsey. The stone gives all their birth and death dates.
