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.

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.

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.
