Note that one of the property lines is described as "Jackson's old line" indicating that it butts up to property already or formerly owned by a Jackson. This could well be property formerly owned by his father William Jackson which passed by William's Will to his wife Bathsheba. Later in 1823, Stephen also purchased another 10 acres in Carter County.
