RESEARCHER: Information sent to T.Mason on 30Oct2002 by Joyce Jackson <jjackson410@cs.com> of Bedford, TX. "Apparently Mary Ann Hall Jackson raised James Thomas like her own because he and his 12 half brother/sisters were listed on census showing he was born in Alabama."
RESEARCHER: Information sent to T.Mason on 17 May 2003 by Judy Bennett <judykben@cox.net>. "I have a manuscript on the Jackson's that I did in 1997. I have not put it on the Internet as I had questions about Albertus's mother. I have now concluded that his mother was most probably Amy Sledge, daughter of Nathaniel Sledge. This manuscript takes the Jackson's back to early VA and shows their connection to the Warren family of England. This information came from The Jackson's of Lower Virginia, an group of articles in "The Virginia Genealogist" in the 1980's. I also have the lineage of James Thomas's mother, Mariah Louise Kendrick."

OBITUARY: The Arkansas Gazette; 1855; pg 3, col 7; EXTRACTION: "In the midst of life, we are suddenly alarmed at the approach of death, and at an hour when least expected, "He enters, and there's no defence. His time, there's none can tell." The subject of the following obituary notice, in company with the writer, visited lamented friends, W. H. Judkins, Senator of Lawrence, and W. S. Wade, Representative of Ouachita, in their last illness; not withstanding his constitution was very much enfeebled by disease, he no doubt promised himself long life, like the world of mankind, believing all persons mortal except ourselves. But where is he now? Numbered with the pale nations of the dead, and the places that knew him once will know him no more. What is life? A meteor of the night. A bubble on the water. What are the pleasures of life? Like the Borealis race that flit e'er you can point its place; Like the dew on beds of roses; When the sun his power discloses, like the rainbow's lovely form, vanishing amid the storm. Like the snow falls in the river, A moment, while then, melts forever." Major James Lawson died on the 17th inst., in the 49th year of age, leaving a disconsolate widow and eight children to mourn his loss. In the year 1839 he emigrated from North Carolina to this place, and necessarily had to undergo many privations incident to settling a new country. He has been long known to the writer as an affectionate husband, a kind and tender parent, a generous and benevolent
friend. W. Wilmington, Fayettville and Goldsborough, North Carolina papers.CENSUS: City of Little Rock in the County of Pulaski in the state of Arkansas enumerated by me on the 10 day of Dec 1850; ; ; Extract: Dwelling house number 415 (?)

John A M W ARBIOGRAPHY: Book of Catharine FB Mason; ;in Sarah Y Mason Heerman's poss.; written in 1929; EXTRACTION: "I received my education from Papa. He graduated from University of North Carolina & from law school at Georgetown Univ. D.C., therefore he was a lawyer by profession, and was a distinguished gentleman by character." In 1843 William E. Woodruff started the Arkansas Weekly Gazette and then at the request of the Whig party sold it to Mr. Borden on 4 Jan 1843, who was the owner and editor of the Arkansas Gazette from 1843-1849. Mr. Woodruff said, "The State Gazette supported Clay in 1844, and the Democrats started the Arkansas Banner in opposition, with Solon Borland as editor. Between him and B.J. Borden, editor of the Gazette, a war of words at once began. In January 1844, Mr. Borden of the Gazette & Dr. Borland of the Banner had a difficulty growing out of a paragraph which the Gazette printed about the doctor. It was a fisticuff and Dr. Borland used Mr. Borden pretty roughly, having beaten his face into a jelly and brought the claret with every blow. Two years later, as Arkansas editors in those days did occasionally, resort to the "Code of Honor" as a manly mode of settling irreconcilable social misunderstanding over politics, Borden was wounded in a dueling battle with Solon Borland. They went to the beach opposite Fort Smith, on the side of the Cherokee Nation and exchanged shots. The ball entered Mr. Borden's right side, passed between the fourth and fifth ribs, through the chest, and passed out the right side about four inches above the heart. Mr. Borden's antagonist was the first person to rush to his assistance, and expressed a hope that the wound was not mortal, though it was thought so at the time. It is suggested that had they not thus as gentlemen fought, they never would as gentlemen have been the warm and true friends to each other they were ever after. It is worthy of mention, as an item in the Church History of Arkansas and as evidence of the redeeming influence of Divine grace, that in later years Borden became a Minister of the Gospel and Borland joined the Church under his preaching and with him partook of the Holy Eucharist at the Sacred Altar. Thus in all after life they were openly warm friends, as indeed they ever had been at heart, and as all true men are who become to know each other." Professor Borden also taught language & math at Quachita Female College, and in 1849 became President or "Major" of Arkansas Military Institute (Farmer's Academy) at Tulip. Arkansas Military Institute (fashioned after West Point, Va.) is in Tulip, Dallis County, Arkansas. He was lecturer of "Rhetoric and Belles Letters". Chapel Ridge is located 40 miles from Camden and 70 miles from Little Rock.
Catharine says, "I remember Bro. Dan & Uncle Fount rocked me when I had whooping cough in 1st year. Grandma died at Perryville of a stroke when I was 7.

The sale of the Gazette to George B. Hayden was announce in the issue of February 10, 1848, the deal having been closed on February 4.
