Person:Isaac Jackson (47)

From the book: Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, Page 453:

"Isaac Jackson (b. 1783), the fifth child of the pioneer(Jacob S. Jackson), served during the War of 1812. He helped clear the land on which stands Fort Henry, Kingston, and assisted in building that fort; he also helped to build the first block house. At the end of the campaign, when he had received his discharge and his regiment was disbanded, he returned to Hallowell. He was granted one hundred acres of land in Peterboro, as a reward for his military service, but afterwards sold the same. He died in 1860, aged 76; his wife survived him by several years, and they now rest side by side in the Old Pettit Cemetery at West Lake. There are living of his sons and daughters: Bela in Hallowell; James in Picton, Thomas and Elizabeth (Mrs. Judah Hutchinson) in Wellington; Henry, on the old homestead; Edgar on West Lake; and Isaac, in Toronto. The others moved to the United States and are either deceased or have not been heard from of for many years."

From the book: Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, "Isaac settled in Hallowell."

From the Progressive Men book, "He was a native of New York, who, when a youth of eighteen years, settled in the heavy forests of Prince Edward Island, where, by long years of diligent and perseveringactivity, he developed a fine farm and a pleasant home. His was one of the first axes to resound in the dense woods of that section and all of the deprivations and hardships of a pioneer life were experienced by himself and family, and here he died in 1860, at the age of seventy-six, an honest and revered citizen of the township of Howell."
