History Blog (Jan 29, 2010).
A new
family history blog for the
Lafayette and Jane Jackson family
is maintained
by William Jackson. The blog contains photographs and information on Lafayette
and Jane.

William Jackson Missionary Journal
(Jan 9, 2010).
William served two missions. This is his
journal from his second mission to England from April, 1909 to April, 1911.
I believe the transcription was by Karen Jackson.
San Luis
Stake Academy Documents (Jul 31, 2009). Four documents
pertaining to the San Luis Stake Academy: (1) commencement program for the
class of 1920, (2) commencement program
for the class of 1921 which included Elvera
Jackson, (3) commencement program for the class
of 1922 which included Warren Rasmussen and (4) a
souvenir commemorating the S. L. S. A which burned down on April 11, 1925.
For more information on the S. L. S. A. see the article written by
Donald Haynie.
The S. L. S. A. Roar
(Jun 27, 2009).
The S. L. S. A. Roar newspaper published in
Manassa, Colorado on February 24, 1922. I assume S. L. S. A. is short for
San Luis Stake Academy. Page two reads: "Mr. and Mrs. Will
Jackson are the proud parents of a new baby boy." This is referring to the
birth of Elbert Jackson on February 15th, 1922.
Elvera Jackson Rasmussen
photographs and documents added (Nov 1, 2008).
Added 49 photographs and 5 documents. Elvera (b. September 29, 1902) was
the daughter of William and Mary Jackson. For more information see the
Documents and
Photographs pages.
William Jackson letters (Oct
4, 2008). Two
letters from William Jackson (b. August 21, 1871) to his daughter, Elvera
Jackson (b. September 29, 1902):
August 24, 1924 and
May 31, 1925.
These letters were contributed by Josephine Jackson Jones.
Three Death Certificates (Jul 20, 2008).
Added three death certificates:
Elizabeth Kirkman
Jackson, Samuel Jackson,
Nephi Jackson.
Thanks to KariAnn Jackson Christiansen. These certificates are also found in the
Documents section.
Petition for Land Documents (Jun 16, 2007).
When Mary Georgena Jackson (b. April 9, 1885) passed away she held land in her
name. Since she did not have a will it was necessary for the family to
file a petition for the land. An ad was taken out in the local newspaper
indicating the families claim to the property. And William filed a
verification document. Click here,
here
and here.
Zachariah Jaques update (Mar 18, 2007). Jeanette Hurst, daughter of Josephine Jackson
Jones, has been doing some great work on
Zachariah Jaques and provided me with two documents. Zachariah married
Sarah Clewer and was the father of Hannah Maria who married Samuel Jackson. The first document is
a journal of John Woodhouse
who writes of Zachariah becoming sick in St. Louis, MO. The second
document speaks of Zachariah accidentally killing someone and his
sentence being deferred. She
will be updating his history in the near future.

A collection of five letters written by William Jackson

while he was at various sheep camps in Colorado and New Mexico:
January 5, 1902;
April 6, 1902;
June 3, 1902;.
June 22, 1902; and

Letter from Mary Jackson to her daughter, Louvina (Jan 6, 2007). I
discovered this letter in a box of photographs I
received from my parents. It was written from Mary Jackson to
her daughter Louvina Jackson Smith on June 18, 1930, and
was written shortly before Mary passed away on August 6,
1930.
