Biography

Born in Cecil County, Maryland to John and Elizabeth (Cummins) Jackson,[1] his family moved to Virginia. He served in the Virginia militia during the American Revolutionary War, attaining the rank of colonel.

In 1788 he was a delegate to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, which ratified the United States Constitution. He was elected to the United States House of Representatives and served from 1795 to 1797 and 1799 to 1803. In about 1806, Jackson moved to Zanesville, Ohio, and served in the state legislature. He died there on 17 May 1831 and was buried in Falls Township.
