T.J. JACKSON was born January 12, 1826, in Hopkins County, now Webster
County, Ky., and is a son of Beckley and Martha (Brown) Jackson, natives of
Mecklenburgh [sic] County, Va.  In 1815 the family came to Kentucky, and
located about eight miles north of Madisonville, where the father died in
1860, aged seventy-five years.  T.J. was reared on his father's farm and at
the age of twenty-one opened a store at Carlow with a capital of $400, and
also took charge of his sister's (Mrs. Ruby) farm, his store being on her
premises.  In 1856 he moved to his present location and continued
merchandising.  He purchased 100 acres of land, and from time to time has
added other land, and now owns about 1,250 acres, about 850 acres of which
are improved, giving employment to twelve or fifteen hands.  He is
extensively engaged in raising and handling fine stock.  Mr. Jackson has
been eminently successful in business, having acquired a fortune of over
$100,000.  He was postmaster at Carlow for many years.  After the
completion of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, the office was
discontinued on account of the transfer of the stage route.  He was
married in 1856 to Miss E.J. Morrow, of Hopkins County.  This union has
been blessed with ten children, six of whom - three sons and three
daughters - are living.  He is a member of the Masonic fraternity and
I.O.O.F.
