Person:Samuel Jackson (162)

From the book "History and Progress of the County of Marion, West Virginia" pgs 122, 123: "In the summer of 1877, a military spirit seemed to take possession of many of the young men in Fairmont, and the organization of a company was effected. This company was named Davis Light Guards, in honor of Hon. Henry G. Davis, United States Senator from this State, and E. W. S. Moore was elected captain, with Samuel N. Jackson and Ed. L. Watson first and second lieutenents, respectively. The company soon grew very proficient in drill, well disciplined, and celebrated in military circles throughout the State. Captain Moore, removing from the State, resigned in 1878, and Sergeant J. W. Lott became captain. Upon Captain Lott's promotion in the summer of 1879 to the position of major in the First Regiment, in which regiment the company holds the position of Company "B", Lieutenant Jackson became captain. Shortly afterwards Jackson resigned, having received an appointment in the postal service, and Lieutenant Watson was made captain.
