About William Addison Jackson
WILLIAM A. JACKSON who is one of the well-to-do farmers of Stafford Township, Greene County, Ind., was born in Washington County, Ky., January 23, 1835.
In the fall of 1839, he located with his father's family in Sullivan County. John T. and Mary (Pirtle) Jackson, reared a family of seven children.
His school days were few, and spent in the log schoolhouses of that time. On January 3,1858,
he married Eliza McClung, and to them seven children have been born --Nancy E., John W., Susanna P., Logan A., Hattie J., Minnie I. and Eliza M., all living. In March, 1858, he settled in Greene County, where he lived in Stockton Township until 1867, when he located in Stafford, and has lived on the present farm ever since.\\ He enlisted in Company I, Ninety-seventh Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry in July, 1862, and served in the late war until its close, when he received an honorable discharge June 9, 1865. The following are the principal battles in which he was engaged, as shown by his discharge: Vicksburg, Jackson, Mission Ridge, Dalton, Resaca, Dallas, New Hope Church, Big Shanty, Kenesaw Mountain, Chattahoochie River, Decatur, Atlanta, Jonesboro, Lovejoy, Little River, Griswoldville, Savannah, Columbia, Bentonville and Raleigh.
Mr. Jackson began doing for himself without anything, and has been fortunate in gaining this world's goods, as his fine farm in Stafford Township abundantly testifies.
