| 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.
