Jacob A. Jackson, the youngest of eleven children of Samuel Jackson III and Jemima Cox, was born 7 November 1833 in West River Township, Randolph County, Indiana. He married Esther Ann Davisson (1835–1890, daughter of Ira Davisson and Catherine Peacock) on 22 March 1853 in the same county. They had seven children, including John W. Jackson. At the time of the 1860 census, the family was living in Frankfort, Clinton County, Indiana.
An account of Jacob’s Civil War service follows, although it may be possible that some of the service refers to someone else with the same name: Jacob joined the Union Army with Company D of the 69th Regiment of the Indiana Volunteers in August 1862. About a week and a half after joining the army, he was wounded in battle near Richmond, Kentucky. He resigned 14 January 1863. Jacob reenlisted on 16 May 1863, and a couple months later was commissioned to oust Morgan’s Raiders from southern Indiana, as Captain for the 105th Regiment, Company D. He mustered out 18 July 1863, only to reenlist again on 18 December 1863 as a Private in Company C of the 9th Indiana Cavalry, 121st Regiment, which had been organized by Colonel George W. Jackson and Lieutenant Colonel Eli Lilly earlier that month. Jacob was named a 1st Sergeant on 1 March 1864, promoted
to 2nd Lieutenant on 6 July 1864, and then to 1st Lieutenant on 1 July 1865. The regiment left Indianapolis on 3 May 1864 for Pulaski, Tennessee, and remained on duty there until 23 November 1864.
Jacob returned home from the war suffering an injury to his breast and collar bone, which became inflamed and resulted in his death on 23 November 1865 at age 32. He is buried in the Union Chapel Cemetery in Union Township, Randolph County, Indiana. He left seven children with his widow Esther (also sometimes known as Hester), who were living in Randolph County, Indiana, at the time of the 1870 census.
John W. Jackson was born 27 January 1854, and died 11 December 1925 in Carlos City, Randolph County, Indiana. He married Mary E. Deboy (1857–1901, daughter of Abraham Deboy and Elizabeth Edwards) on 9 December 1876 in Randolph County. They had a daughter, Cora E. Jackson (later Thornburg, and later Murray), who was born in July 1881 or 1882, and died 18 January 1941. She is buried in the Union Chapel Cemetery in Randolph County. John and Mary also had seven sons: Harlan, Raleigh, Earl (b. 26 March 1878, d. 9 February 1955), Ola (b. 14 September 1879, d. 30 June 1917), Irvin (b. 26 December 1884, d. 16 July 1970), and twins born 11 February 1887, Homer (d. 27 January 1968) and Omer (d. 5 May 1906). Ola Jackson left Randolph County around 1905 to work in Indianapolis, and then moved on to Denver, Colorado, and El Paso, Texas. While working as a carpenter in Denver he married Regena Crane, who died two years later.
At the time of the 1900 census, living with John W. Jackson in West River Township in Randolph County, were his wife Mary, sons Earl, Ola, Irvin, Omer, and Homer, his widowed daughter Cora E. Thornburg, and his granddaughter Jessie Thornburg (b. 1900).
According to a history of Randolph County, Cora E. Thornburg was a teacher at Stoney Creek School in 1913–1914, and she married Boyden Murray (b. 26 December 1872, d. 1952) on 23 April 1914. This account states that he had previously married Effie L. Addington on 4 April 1896, and that Effie Murray died on 28 April 1897. However, a photograph album in this collection bears the inscription “Xmas Gift 1895. / Effie Murray.” Boyden was a son of Ralph V. and Nora Murray; another of their sons was Gilbert M. Murray (b. 12 November 1877). Gilbert married Opal E. Holliday on 31 January 1900, and they had three children: Clarence R., Mary D., and Oma E. Murray.

Series 1, Jackson Photograph Album – Civil War Soldier Portraits, etc.: This series consists of fifty photographic portraits – thirty-nine cartes-de-visite and eleven tintypes – that were removed from an album. At least thirty-seven of these are of Civil War soldiers, most of whom are identified and most of whom were with the Ninth Cavalry (121st) Regiment Indiana Volunteers, including Colonel George W. Jackson and Lt. Col. Eli Lilly. Most of the names written below these portraits are misspelled; effort was made to identify the correct spellings. The remainder of the portraits are unidentified, and are presumably of relatives and/or friends. On the inside back cover of the album was written: “Esther An Jackson / her book book / John W. Jackson / [unreadable, perhaps ‘M’ or ‘ch’].” The photographs are arranged in the order in which they appeared in the album.
Series 2, Effie Murray Photograph Album, ca. 1895: This album contains twenty-five cabinet card portraits, ten smaller portraits (including two tintypes), an 1897 train ticket stub, and a newspaper obituary for William Baxter Moyer (ca. 1918). Most of the images were made by photographers in Winchester, Ind., but only one portrait is identified. On the first page of the album was written: “Xmas Gift 1895. / Effie Murray.” The photographs are arranged in the order in which they appeared in the album.
Series 3, Cora E. Jackson Photograph Album, ca. 1898: This album contains nineteen cabinet card portraits, fourteen other small photographs (including four tintypes), four newspaper obituaries, one partial newspaper obituary, two clippings of verse, one handwritten exercise, and a small card with a picture of a thistle on it. All but two of the portraits are unidentified. Most of the photographs are from Winchester, Ind.; most of the others are from elsewhere in Randolph County, as well as Blackford, Henry, Madison, Wayne, and Wells counties. On the inside cover is the inscription: “Presented to / Miss Cora E. Jackson / by her Husband. December 25, 1898.” The photographs are arranged in the order in which they appeared in the album.
Series 4, Identified Portraits: This series includes fifty-five photographs of members of the Jackson and Thornburg families, their relatives, friends, and neighbors. Most were taken in eastern Indiana in the following counties: Randolph, Henry, Wayne, Marion, and Delaware. Other locations include Wonewoc, Wisconsin; Denver, Colorado; and Wichita, Kansas. Most of the photographs provide no date, but range from the late 1800s to 1938.
Series 6, Artifacts: Items in this series include a metal frame from which a portrait of Basil Wadman (ca. 1900) was removed; a ration stamp book issued during World War II to the Gard family of Mooreland (Henry County, Ind.); and a folded card of Atomic brand sewing needles (ca. 1950s).
Series 7, Ephemera: This series contains commencement programs from Lynn High School (1914) and from Wayne High School (1926); three souvenir cards showing the Indiana state flag and state seal and signed by Crawford F. Parker (ca. 1950s); printed photo cards of Lieutenant Governor Crawford F. Parker and Governor Harold W. Handley (ca. 1950s); an advertisement for Mail Pouch chewing tobacco (copyrighted 1938); and a business-sized card with the name “Almond B. Wright” printed on it.
