Mrs. Jackson was the daughter of Mr. George Moore of orange County, North Carolina, and was born near Wilmington, on the 10th day of July, 1790. Her girlhood was spent with her guardian, Mr Duncan Cameron, of Raleigh. She was married to Mr. Samuel McCulloch, and moved to Tennessee in 1808. Her second marriage was to Mr. James Jackson on the 28th of December 1810, and he settled ?The Forks of Cypress? in this county in 1820. Whch place was bought from noted Indian, Chief ?Doublehead?.

From these facts it will be seen that Mrs. Jackson resided in this county nearly 60 years, and during that long period, held the most perfect respect and esteem of all her acquaintances and was never heard to speak disparagingly of anyone but ever espoused the causes of the weak and defenseless. A member of the Presbyterian Church, she was a devoted Christian and possessed a faith which enabled her to meet calmly, all the afflictions which were allotted her in her long and useful life. Almost all her life was spent in affluent circumstances, and it was ever her pleasure to relive suffering of those were under her notice. A modest, pure Christian woman, she was eminently endowed with that faith that suffereth long and is patient.
