John Jackson, passed away 28 Feb 1869 near Dolan in Monroe County, Indiana. He was born circa 1812 in Tennessee. His grave marker says that he died about age 50.
John married Sarah Ann "Sally" Yoder, the daughter of Jacob Yoder and his wife, Catherine Dellinger. After their wedding 6 Feb 1836 in Monroe County, Indiana, John and Sarah had 10 children; Margaret, Catherine, Edward, James, Nancy, Henry, Alexander, Manuel, George and John, Jr.
It's remarkable to note that John was among the first settlers to enter Monroe County at a young age. Indeed, he may have migrated with Edward Jackson, a documented first settler, and they may have been brothers.
John's grave marker is unusual because it displays a hand pointing up to an inscription which says, "GONE HOME." At first, it's difficult to spot the stone since it faces west while all others face east. Then, too, it may have fallen over and been reset that way. At any rate, John was certainly among the first to be buried at Payne Cemetery.
Note: Edward Jackson lived just east of the area and is buried at Little Union Cemetery in Unionville. Edward's son, Rolla, donated land for the Dolan Church.
