The Jackson Family
Although the name of Jackson is as ancient as the language we speak, it is not easy to trace the genealogy of the family back further than the tenth or eleventh century. The Jacksons are chiefly and unequivocally Anglo-Saxon. The traditions of the family which now survive indicate that the Jackson's were men of decision, of character and firmness of purpose. In times when men, as Tennyson says, "had to dodge or duck or die,” they appear to have been steadfast in their adherence to their convictions, especially in religion.
