William H. Jackson<\/strong>, clerk of the county court, of Lauderdale County, is a
\nson of James D. and Frances (Wright) Jackson. The father was born in Dinwiddie
\nCounty, Va., in 1811, and his mother in Northhampton, Mass., in 1817. She met
\nMr. Jackson in Virginia, while visiting there; they were afterward married in
\nMassachusetts, then moved to Fayette County, Tenn., where the father died in
\n1847, and in 1870 the mother came to Ripley, to live with her son, and died in
\n1884; both were members of the Methodist Church, and he was a Democrat; a
\nfarmer by occupation. Our subject was born August 20, 1838, in Fayette
\nCounty, Tenn., had the best educational advantages the county schools
\nafforded, and at the age of sixteen entered a wholesale and retail dry goods
\nhouse at Memphis, where he remained a year, then taught school for three
\nyears; then was book-keeper for a railroad contracting company. In 1860 he
\nwent to Texas and Mexico for his health, but in 1861 volunteered in Company B,
\nSeventh Tennessee Cavalry (Confederate Army). Three of his brothers were in
\nthe same company, and all went through the war without being wounded. After
\nhis return, in 1865, he married Catherine E. Palmer, who was born in 1843. No
\nchildren have been born to this marriage, and both Mr. and Mrs. Jackson are
\nmembers of the Methodist Church. Soon after they married they settled on the
\nfarm near Ripley, but two years later moved to town, and Mr. Jackson engaged
\nin the grocery business for six years, the greater part of the time in
\npartnership with Maj. Wardlaw. In 1882 he was elected to the office of county
\ncourt clerk, and re-elected in 1886. For twenty-one years he has been a
\nresident of Lauderdale County, and the citizens of his county have shown their
\nappreciation of him, as a man, and their confidence in his ability and
\nintegrity, by electing and re-electing him to the responsible office of county
\ncourt clerk. Mr. Jackson is of a genial, social disposition, and is fond of
\nhunting and fishing.<\/p>\n
