About Israel Nero Jackson, Sr.

Nero Jackson is a child of a slave girl named Gina and a Choctaw Indian named July Gale who was also known as "Jack" during the days he was an army scout. Although his father was free, Nero was a slave because that was his mother's status.

Nero tried to escape from slavery but his attempt failed. As punishment, his owner pinched his nose with red hot tongs. The scars from the burns on his nostrils remained with Nero for the rest of his life.

Senile debility was given as the cause of Nero's death, which occurred on October 12, 1934, in Amite County, Mississippi.

Nero and his wife Emeline Williams Jackson are the parents of Samuel J. Jackson (1893- 1993), a graduate of Alcorn College (now Alcorn State University) in Lorman, Claiborne County, Mississippi. Samuel and his wife Crystal Lee King Jackson are the parents of Joseph Walker (Joe) Jackson, the patriarch of the Jackson Family of Entertainers.
