LEWIS M. JACKSON was born in Winchester, Clark Co., Ky., January 22, 1842,
and is the fifth son of Samuel G. and Ann S. (Mason) Jackson.  Samuel
Jackson was born in Madison COunty, Ky., in 1800.  He owned and managed
the first hardware store that was ever in Lexington, Ky.  He once owned and
ran successfully for years the Red River Iron Works in Estill County, Ky.,
and was at one time extensively engaged in pork packing at Louisville, the
style of the firm being Jackson, Hull & Co.  He also once engaged
extensively in buying mules, feeding them until the markets suited him, and
then shipping them South.  He was a member of the Christian Church and died
in 1853.  Mrs. Ann S. Jackson was born in Montgomery County, Ky., and died
in 1884.  James Jackson was the paternal grandfather of Lewis M. Jackson.
A ferry on the Kentucky River in Madison County is name Jackson in honor of
him.  Lewis M. Jackson, with his parents, when he was four years old,
moved to Lexington, where his father died; lived there nine years, then
moved to Frankfort.  Lewis M. then moved to Boyle County, in 1871 to
Woodford County, and then to Jessamine County.  He farmed up to 1876, when
he was elected sheriff by the Democratic party, and served two terms.  He
then farmed until 1883, when he bought the glass-mill on Jessamine Creek,
Jessamine County.  He was married, May 20, 1864, to Miss Jane, daughter of
Dr. Peter and Sarah (Carpenter) Mason, of Boyle County.  Dr. Peter Mason
was born in Montgomery County, Ky., was a farmer, but read medicine and
graduated at the Transylvania University.  He did not like the profession
and did not follow it.  He died in 1870.  Mrs. Sarah Mason was born in
Lincoln County, Ky., at Carpenter's Station.  Her father, George Carpenter,
was one of the earliest settlers in Lincoln County, Ky.  To Mr. and Mrs.
Lewis M. Jackson have been born five children, one living, Bettie,
fourteen years old.  The parents are members of the Christian Church. One
of Mr. Jackson's sisters (Bettie) is married to J. B. Huston, a prominent
lawyer of Lexington, and another sister (Carrie) is married to ex-Gov.
