      I R Jackson, retired carpenter and contractor, was 
born in Cumberland Township, Greene County, Penna, April 19, 
1824. He is a son of Stephen Jackson and Hannah Miller 
Jackson, natives of this county. His grandfather, a pioneer 
farmer, was born in Maryland. Mr Jackson, whose father was a 
millwright and carpenter, was the third in a family of five 
children. He learned the carpenter trade, in which he 
engaged in Cumberland Township for a period of thirty five 
years. He was united in marriage April 12, 1846, with Mary A 
Horner, daughter of R M Horner and Martha Murdock Horner. 
Mrs Jackson's parents are among the early settlers of the 
county. Of the seven children born to Mr and Mrs Jackson, 
only one survives: Emma C Jackson. The deceased are James J 
Jackson; Mary Ann Jackson; Louisa J Jackson; Alice L 
Jackson; Stephen T Jackson; and Margaret A Jackson, who was 
the wife of William Grooms and mother of two children, one 
of which, James A Grooms, is still living. Mr Jackson is a 
Democrat, and has served as burgess of Carmichaels Borough. 
He and his wife are devoted members of the Methodist
