About Robert Jackson
Jackson and his brother Robert were captured by the British and held as prisoners; they nearly starved to death in captivity. When Jackson refused to clean the boots of a British officer, he slashed at the youth with a sword, giving him scars on his left hand and head, as well as an intense hatred for the British. While imprisoned, the brothers contracted smallpox. Robert died a few days after their mother secured their release, on April 27, 1781.
Robert Jackson died (1779) in a British prison camp during the Revolution.
Note: Robert Jackson is not buried here... this is a memorial stone honoring him.
