James Samuel Jackson

Notes:

25 Nov 1844 James Bowling sold James Jackson 30 acres and
11 years after his marriage to Polly Stowe.
His estate was appraised January 1848 (Pitts Order Book 39,
page 358).
~ Death date from Pitts Order Book 13, pages 312 and 313.
John J. Bryant was appointed administrator of the estate 18
Oct 1847.

James married Judith Emmerson 30 Dec 1813, Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Judith (daughter of John Emmerson and Marion Anne Liddle) was born Abt 1787, Pittsylvania County, Virginia; died Bef 1833, Prob. Virginia. [Group Sheet]

James married Mary "Polly" Stowe 1833, Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Mary was born Abt 1790, Pittsylvania County, Virginia; died Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Martha Ann Jackson, d/o James Samuel and Judith Emmerson Jackson is the niece of Levi Jackson. Levi and his wife Ann Emmerson (sister to Martha's mother, Judith) had no children of their own and reared Judith's children after her death in circa 1828. Martha too, was probably in their household in the 1830 Census which shows one female child age 10-15 along with 6 other children. Levi and Ann had no children. Presumably these children are those of Ann's sister. It is likely that Martha named her eldest son, Levi for her uncle who helped raise her.
At the time of the 1880 Census they were living in Franklin Co., next door to Susan Bryant, proven to be a daughter of James, (sister of Martha Ann) Martha Ann is named for her mother's grandmother, Martha Walker.


Buried:

The 'modern' marker for Allen Gilmer and Martha Ann Jackson Reynolds was installed by Mrs. Ruth Mae Reynolds Marlowe, d/o William Barton "Bart" and Nancy "Nannie" Reynolds. Martha Ann Jackson was Ruth's grandmother.
Martha Ann Jackson is the daughter of James Samuel Jackson and Judith Emmerson. Judith Emmerson is the daughter of John Emmerson. Judith Emmerson DOB of 1787 is from an entry in the LDS IGI. She was deceased by Jan 1833 when James Jackson married a second time and two of her younger children were in the household of her sister and brother-in-law Anne Emmerson Jackson and Levi Jackson.

Notes:

Samuel C. Jackson is the brother of Martha Ann Jackson
(Reynolds). His identity and parentage from Pittsylvania
County Circuit Court records in 1852 in a case to settle
his father's estate. The notice published in Jan 1852
stated he was not a resident of Virginia; his brother
William L. was also a non-resident.
Samuel C. Jackson enlisted in the US Army in 1837 in
Lynchburg, Virginia and was assigned to 1st US Army,
Company H. He was 21 when he entered the Army. He
re-enlisted in 1845 at Fort Snelling; was discharged 24
September 1850 at Fort Merrill, Texas as a sergeant. He
re-inlisted 16 Apr 1852 in New Mexico. He was five feet
eight inches tall; had blue eyes and dark hair. This info
is from the US Army Register of Enlistments 1798-1914.

Notes:

James Andrew Jackson brought suit against Samuel Jackson, his brother, to force the sale of his land on 18 Oct 1847. The court ordered John Bryant to sell the land and divide the proceeds. (Pitts Order Book 39, page 313). Sanuel C. Jackson countersued, which places him in the county in 1847. John J. Bryant arranged to sell the land but the sale was suspended in Dec 1850 because of the suit. This suit went to Chancery Court when James A. Mitchell objected. (James owed money to Mitchell and wanted to pay him out of the proceeds from the sale of the land). The defendants included William Grant and Sally (Emmerson) his wife and Allen (Gilmer) Reynolds and Martha (Emmerson) his wife.

Notes:

1850 Census for Pittsylvania Co., Virginia says he was born
in North Carolina; however, the 1860 census says Virginia,
as is reported for his sister Martha Ann.
MILITARY: He served as 2nd Lieutenant, Co., B., 38
Virginia Infantry (National Archives, "Civil War Compiled
Military Service Records"). This unit was recruited in
Pittsylvania County. MARRIAGE: When he married his
security was provided by William L. Jackson his brother,
He was over 21 at the time of his marriage, putting his
birth about 1828. In 1859 James Andrew his wife Martha J.,
and sister Susan Martin sold the land they had inherited
from Levi Jackson to James A. Mitchell (Pitts DB 58, page
320, February 25, 1859). Death: Mike K. Williams,
"Pittsylvania Co., VA Births and Deaths," 1998. Stonewall
Jackson, his great grandson said he was murdered near Grady
in Pittsylvania Co., by a man named Hankins who was the
only person ever hanged in Chatham, the courthouse for
Pittsylvania County. This is validated by an article in
Piedmont Lineages, Vol XXIX, No. 3, August 2007, page 84:
"Hankins was no stranger to violence. In the 1872 he cut
James A. Jackson, inflicting wounds which proved to be
fatal. He was convicted of second degree murder and served
a 10 year term in the penitentiary." (In 1897 he murdered
Dr. John R. Cabell and was hanged in November of that year.)
Jody Davis was personally acquainted with Stonewall Jackson
before his death.

Notes:

Examination of the Census Records for 1900 and 1910 show
that Bart and his family are closely situated to the Joshua
Columbus Manning's (married his sister Mary Permelia
"Bettie" Reynolds. They are shown within two households of
one-another on each Census.

Born 28 Sep 1848 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, William
Barton Reynolds, was the fourth child of Allen Gilmer
Reynolds and Martha Ann Jackson. Bart was named for his
father's brother, William Barton Reynolds, Sr. (Barton), a
testament of his father's regard for his brother. The name
Barton first appears in our family when Bart's grandmother,
Sarah Philpott named Bart's uncle in 1827, after her
great-great grandmother, Elizabeth Barton Smoot, born in
1701.

"Bart" became his 'distinguishing name', very early. He
had two older brothers, Levi and James Samuel, each named
for his mother's father and his mother's brother; each
instrumental in her upbringing. Older sister Tabitha Ann
and younger siblings John Henry, Cephus Wilson, Elizabeth
"Bettie' and Texanna composed Bart's family. Texanna, was
born after her mother's brother moved to Texas, and was so
named to commerate the event.

We find no evidence of Bart serving in an official capacity
during the Civil War. Too young, to go away, he served at
home, with a thousand chores and fear everywhere. His
uncles, served in the Home Guard, their sons, so many of
them; gone to fight. Loved-ones left at home, to worry and
fear. Bart grows into manhood while the war rages and
claims his cousins. His brother, Levi, leaves home in 1860
to travel to Pennsylvania and marry; Levi is 23, Bart 12.
Brother James Samuel is 16, John Henry is 5 and Cephus is 2
years old. Sister Bettie is 9; Tabitha is 14 and Texanna
is 7. Levi is the only one of his siblings who will leave
Pittsylvania County to make his home.

During his 25th year, Bart marries the very attractive 18
year old Nancy Reynolds in about 1873. His brother James
Samuel "Jim" marries her sister Bet about the same time.
They knew them well. The girls are the daughters of his
Uncle Bartonnd Aunt Rutha Reynolds. Three other of the
girls also married cousins.

Bart and Nancy farmed on Barn Road in Callands. A family
photograph of their log cabin, taken in 1898 shows all of
their children except the last one, Buster, who was in his
mother's belly for the occasion. Bart is 50, Nancy, 44.
They have buried two newborn babies in the last 3 years,
and she is pregnant again. Their private cemetery marks
their sorrows; two infants graves, marked with fieldstones,
In another six years they will bury their oldest daughter.
Dead before her prime, grieved by her parents, siblings
and all of her grandparents, cousins, and a husband.

Weddings and births, christenings and parties mark the
years as they pass. They have 10 children living before
1900; eight will survive into middle age and most will
bring home their own babies.

Bart has had diabetes for a long time. He lost his right
leg below the knee; an infection that would not heal. The
disease would take its toll before his death, progressing
in a now predictable sequence of events; a disease that
would trickle down through his progeny for the next 110
years.

By 1910 the next generation has begun, and the last
generation is a beloved memory. Bart's mother and father
are dead. Nancy's mother and father died with a year of
each other, nearly 20 years earlier. Bart's oldest son has
a son; his eldest daughter is dead. Molly too has a young
son, and is about to remarry in Norfolk; Essie is settled
with several children; Missy is about to have her first
baby; Kate 29, has moved to North Carolina; Jim, 25, is
courting Sally Fannie Wells, and Claira and Ruth are
striking 18 and 20 year-olds, as yet unclaimed by mates.
Ford is 23 and Buster, his baby son is only 12 years old.

The next 100 years see his progeny increase, and the legacy
of this man's integrity, determination, faith, love and
respect find its way from his genes to ours.

Notes:

I have another story for you. The day John Henry Reynolds, his wife Sally Frances Wells Reynolds and children, Charlie Wade, Mary Ann, Tabitha, Bogie, Silas and Callie were moving from the cabin on John Henry's dads place(Allen Gilmer Reyno) there wasn't a bridge across Turkeycock creek so they had to lead the horse and wagon across. Mary Ann, the oldest girl was carrying the baby, Callie. She dropped her in the creek. Of course they grabbed her up and got her across. But I heard Aunt Mary Ann and Aunt Callie laughing and talking about it when they were old. Their Dad had bought a farm on Rd. 57 on the left just across the road from the CLCC parsonage (County Line Christian Church). When John Henry died the place had to be sold to pay off debts. Charlie moved the whole family across the road to Swanson place where they share cropped for about 18 years, I think. Then they moved to his Uncle Charlie Well's place in about 1936 and share cropped there until 1946 when he bought Grady store.

Happy New Year to you too. Who is this Betty Ann Grant? I knew Mable W. Merricks. Wes and I are good friends with her son Trent. That is John Levy Reynolds in the picture. Homer Reynolds is the one who was married to Callie Ark Reynolds. They had a shotgun wedding with my grandpa Charlie behind the gun. Rosco Reynolds was the result of that marriage. Homer went into the Army immediately after the wedding . He went to NY where he came down with the flu and died.

I knew some of the men in the picture. I remember Jabe Wells and one of my favorite people was Frank Fuller. He was our mail carrier for years, He had lunch at Grady store with daddy every day. I was always there in the summer. He had his wife, Nancy, a teacher at Callands , buy me a beautiful blue dress with a big white color with blue buttons on it for my 10th birthday. She or someone wrapped it up with a beautiful ribbon and he brought it to the store and gave it to me. It was such a suprise He was a sweet man. He and his wife only had one son and they didn't mix with the rest of the people in the neighborhood. I think that was his wife's doings. They lived in the house just up the road on the other side of the road from Jims store. It was a nicer house than any other around there. It also had a bathroom. Every body else around there had a johnny house. I used their gully as my shopping store for my playhouse because Nancy used a lot of creams and perfumes and things that came in pretty bottles.

buried on the Lee Reynolds place near her parents. They
stayed there until about 1936. The rest of the children
were born while they lived there (7). It was a beautiful
place surrounded with Cherry Trees. The children played in
the Turkeycock Creek and the woods.

Uncle Allen and Aunt Charlotte lived on the place too.
They were an old Black couple who had been slaves when they
were children. Annie said that she couldn't have "done it"
without Aunt Charlotte. Annie told many stories about Aunt
Charlotte and how she helped care for the children. Aunt
Charlotte lived in a cabin and cooked over a fireplace and
carried water in a churn on top of her head up a hill from
the spring. She also made ash bread, so called, because
the dough was placed on a flat rock and covered with ashes
and placed in the fire where it cooked. You then brushed
or cut off the ashes and ate the bread. J. W. Swanson
built his house where the cabin had stood (residence in
1930).

Hey girl, I can't get off this site of yours , love it. I found where I made a major screw up. I sent you a e-mail about James Fletcher Reynolds that said he is buried at Highland Burial Park. (WRONG) I got him and Joseph Cephus (Ceph) Reynolds mixed up. Ceph is buried at Highland. I went over and saw that stone a few weeks ago. All his information is correct. I also said that James Fletcher was a High Constable (WRONG) Again that was (Ceph) and this is what he was called not Joe. Fletcher only lived to be 33 years old and it is believed that he is buried in the Matthew Clay Wells cemetery since his parents are buried there. His wife is probably buried there too. She died a year after him.
