Person:Samuel Jackson (32)

Original mention was made of Samuel and 8 of his children in the 1887 Jackson Ledger from Hackers Creek Pioneer Library (see source below). He was also found in Lebanon Twnsp, Meigs County, Ohio where he died intestate. His heirs were listed in suit in Chancery Court and in a deed record per email from Andrea Dietze. These records listed additional children as heirs.

Stephen Alonzo Jackson's copy of the Ledger says Samuel died in Ravenswood, (W)VA, just across the river from Meigs County, Ohio where the Chancery Court suit says he lived. Samuel may have actually died in Ravenswood though he lived and had property in Meigs County. There was a lot of going back and forth across the river at the point there at Ravenswood. Stephen Alonzo's record also says Samuel's wife's name was Ellen Smith.
