From Biographical Sketch, History of Washington Co. TN, by GoodspeedPublishing Company, 1887
GEN. A. E. JACKSON
Gen. A. E. Jackson, the oldest inhabitant of Jonesboro, was bornJanuary 11, 1807, near Nashville, Tenn. He is the son of Samuel D. andEliza C. (Woodrow) Jackson. The former was born at Carlisle, Penn.,September 16, 1755, and was the son of Philip Jackson, a native ofIreland. He served as a lieuntenant in Stark's regiment in theRevolution, and afterward became a successful merchant inPhiladelphia. In 1801, having purchased from Gov. Blount 30,000 acresof land in East Tennessee, and 20,000 acres in Middle Tennessee, at acost of $25,000 in goods, he came to Jonesboro, but soon after removedto a point midway between Morristown and Mossy Creek, where he erecteda log house. Fearing Indian depredations, however, he removed toMiddle Tennessee in a short time. He was a relative, and intimatefriend of "Old Hickory" but in 1811 the general won 10,000 acres ofhis best land, on a horse race, and during an alercation concerningthe wager, ran him through the body with a cane spear. This difficultycaused a coolness between them, which lasted for several years, butthey finally became friends again. In 1811 Mr. Jackson returned toWashington County, and located on a farm on Chucky River, bought ofGov. Sevier. Subsquently he removed to Jonesboro, and for a time wasengaged in merchandising. He finally returned to the farm, and livedwith our subject. He died May 2, 1836. He was an able and strongwilled man, and became wealthy, but lost it all through the failure ofRobert Morris, for whom he had become security, for a very largeamount. His wife, the daughter of Henry Woodrow, a native of NewJersey, was born in Philadelphia, on September 22, 1764. She was anintimate friend of Mrs. President Madison, and was her bridesmaid ather first marriage. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church, anddied at our subjects present home January 8, 1844. Gen. Jackson wasreared at Jonesboro, receiving his education principally at WashingtonCollege, as a member of the family of Samuel Doak, Sr. He alsoattended Greeneville College, and finished his education under HenryHoss, on Boone Creek. He was a merchant with his father, inElizabethton, Tenn. for a short time, after which in 1826, he removedto his farm, and later engaged in shipping produce to Alabama. In 1834he engaged in merchandising, which business, in connection with hisboating, he carried on for about twenty-two years. In 1842 he removedto Jonesboro, where four years later he established a store. At thistime he agreed to take the products of the Iron Works of Elijah Emory,which, although a great risk, proved a successful one. At Mr. Emory'sdeath, he removed his stock of goods from Jonesboro to Taylorsville,but still continued his business on Chucky River. Just before the warhe engaged in copper mining, in North Carolina, and opened a store inBurnsville, that State; he also had a store in Watauga County, N. C.,and one at the mouth of Boones' Creek, in Johnson County. He was oneof the most active organizer and promoters of the construction of theEast Tennesse & Virginia Railway, and was one of thirty men forming acompany, which took $300,000 stock in the road to prevent a loss ofits charter. He also became the financial agent of the road, and inthat capacity disposed of $300,000 of State bonds, at the highestprice ever paid for similar securities. He was the author of the billmaking appropriations for birdges and masonry, and secured its passgeby the Legislature, and on more than one occasion saved the road largeamounts of money by substituting his own note in place of that of thecompany. In 1861 he entered the Confederate service, as quartermasterand paymaster, in which capacity he acted for the first two monthswithout commission, and without giving bonds; he remained in thepaymaster department until February 8, 1863, disbursing about $10,000,000. On that day he was commissioned brigadier-general, and was soonafter placed in command of a military district, including a part ofNorth Carolina, Virginia and East Tennessee, with Thomas' Legion of 1,300 men, including 300 Cherokee Indians, the sixteenth GeorgiaBattalion, and Phipps' Tennessee Battalion, to which was afterwardadded the sixty-second North Carolina Regiment. In 1863 he clearedEast Tennessee of bush-whackers, and during that year, and thesucceeding one, had several engagements with various commands. Whileat Wytheville, Va., on his way to join Gen. Lee, he learned of thesurrender at Appomattox, and at once disbanded his troops. After hisreturn home he was compelled to defend lawsuits for pretended damagesgrowing out of the war, involving in the aggregate $390,000, and wasindicted for treason in both Federal and State courts, but was finallydismissed. In 1864 he rented Washington Springs, Va., where he joinedhis family at the close of the war. In 1866 he rented a farm, and twoyears later, became a commission merchant in Knoxville, but in 1871returned to Jonesboro. In his domestic relations, Gen. Jackson hasbeen very fortunate. On June 8, 1826, he married Serephina, a daughterof Nathaniel Taylor, a brigadier-general in the war of 1812. She was anative of Carter County, and bore him seven sons and seven daughters.She was a Prebysterian, and died on October 27, 1880. Gen. Jackson isan Episcoplian, and is the oldest surviving Confederate general. He isa relative by marriage, and a personal friend, of Jefferson Davis. Atthe council of Indian chiefs held for the purpose of discussing thecession of their lands in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, he was theonly white person present.
