General Jackson Duckworth was a farmer and a blacksmith. His farm was a
part of the original David Duckworth land and lay joining the
Arkaquah-Choestoe District line. He made or built two farm wagons each
year. He had "funny" ideas about many subjects and was "set in his
way." He was in the Home Guard in the Civil War. He ran the first
Agricultural Agent off his farm and told him not to come back. At time
of an election, Francis Marion and Frank C. Duckworth would let the
word out that they were voting for the man opposite their candidate to
keep General J. from voting for the opposition. General J. did
not want anyone to think that Francis M. and Frank C. were "handling"
him. General J. did not believe in education and said if a child was
going to be a criminal that he would be a bigger criminal if he had an
education and it was best for him not to know anything.
