JACKSON TOWNSHIP. The present township of Jackson belonged to Sharon until the year 1847, when it was set off into a separate township, and called Jackson, and for its early history reference will be had to Sharon township upon anther page of this atlas. The first election ordered by the Commissioners for the township of Jackson, was on the third day of April, 1847, when Anthony Hershiser, Robert Leach and John Leppo were chosen Trustees; Abraham Bushey, Treasurer; Alexander Barr, Assessor; Samuel Rockwell, Town Clerk and Delanzon Rockwell and David McKenney, Constables. And on May 3d., 1847, Abraham Bushey and John Ackerman were elected Justices of the Peace. This is an excellent township of land generally well watered, with plenty of good timber. It is especially a farming community that have settled here, there being in it no village of any considerable importance. The city of Shelby being contiguous receives most of their trade.
