JACKSON was born January 9, 1835, near Three Springs, Warren Co., Ky., and is the seventh child of James D. and Elizabeth (Phelps) Jackson. His parents immigrated to Warren County, Ky., about 1823; shortly after moved to Henry County, Tenn., where they remained two years, and then returned to Warren County, Ky.; resided nine years in Logan County, and finally settled in Warren County, where the father engaged in farming until his death, in 1868, at the age of sixty-six years. He was a slave holder and a son of William Jackson, who married Charlotte Nelms. William Jackson immigrated to Warren County about 1823; he was a farmer, and died in Henry County, Tenn.; his father came from England and settled in Georgia in colonial days. Mrs. Elizabeth (Phelps) Jackson was a daughter of Thomas Phelps, who married Cherry Jackson, and who were born and reared in Georgia. Thomas P. F. Jackson was reared on a farm, and aftr arriving at manhood taught school about ten years in Warren and adjoining counties. March 5, 1856, he married Elizabeth Almond, of Henry County, Tenn., a daughter of Thomas and Charlotte (Jackson) Almond. To this union nine children were born; five are living: James N., Laura E., William T., Charlotte E. and John Almond. Thomas Almond, the father of Mrs. Jackson, was born in 1815, in North Carolina, and about 1820 emigrated with his parents to west Tennessee, where he engaged in farming. He died in 1845, aged thirty years. His wife was a daughter of John N. (a soldier in the war of 1812) and Elizabeth (Broach) Jackson, of Henry County, Tenn. His parents, Edmond and Nancy (Motley) Almond, were born, reared and married in North Carolina. Edmond was a soldier of 1812, and fought in the battle of New Orleans. He immigrated to Henry County, Tenn., where he was actively engaged in farming until his death, in 1872, aged eighty-three years; his wife died in 1867, aged seventy-six years. After marriage Mr. Jackson located where he now resides, two miles south of Bowling Green; in 1856 he moved to Texas, where he remained for a short period; in 1859 he went to Polk County, Mo., and engaged in farming and teaching. In 1861 he enlisted for one year in the Fourth Missouri Mounted Infantry (State Guards); one year later enlisted in the Fifth Missouri Infantry, and after a short service in that regiment he received a commission to recruit and purchase supplies for the Confederate Army; this he continued to do until after the surrender of Little Rock, when he severed his connection with the service. In December, 1865, he moved with his family to Arkansas (whither they had followed him) to Henry County, Tenn.; one year later he returned to Warren County, Ky., and located on a fine farm of 106 acres, south of Bowling Green. Mr. Jackson also owns five acres one mile south of the city, where every year he is engaged in packing ice from ponds. He cast his first presidential vote for Bell, and since the war has voted the Democratic ticket.
