Civil War Soldier/Union. Fought at the Battle of Shiloh. H/O Livonia Deborah (White) Jackson, grandfather of Emma May (Stevens) Noland and great grandfather of Mary E. (Wilson) Miller.
George Washington Jackson, born January 6, 1839, Caledonia, Washington, County, MO, son of Benjamin Jackson, born in NC, circa 1790 - 1800. Benjamin and his wife, "Mrs." Jackson died in 1847 and George and his siblings moved to Jefferson County, MO and is shown in the 1850 census, living with Lucinda Evans, age 66, born VA. In 1852, James Monroe Seabourne became the appointed guardian of George, his brother James and sisters, Emily and Lucinda. James was the administrator of Benjamin's will and it is felt that James may have been Benjamin's brother-in-law. James Monroe Seabourne's mother was Lucinda Evans.
Having been a farmer, George enlisted in the Union Army, at the age of 22 years, in the Civil War. MO was in sympathy with the Army of the Confederacy, so George and his brother, James Monroe Jackson, went to St. Louis, to enlist, where, on Sept 24, 1861, he was a Private, in Co. I, 13th Missouri Infantry Regiment. This Regiment became the Co. I, 22nd Regiment, Ohio Infantry, where he served under Captain John Creagen. The Missouri became the Ohio Infantry, as of July, 1862. After his discharge, he returned to his home in MO, (possibly 1865.) He married Livonia Deborah White, February 18, 1868, in DeSoto, Jefferson, County MO. George and Livonia lived in MO, IL and CO, according to his pension records. He lived in DeSoto, MO, 10 years, Little Rock, AR, 6 years, moving to Champaign, IL about 1881-1882, where he lived for 30 years, before moving to Denver, CO about 1910-1911 and lived there for 11 years before his death. Fifty six years, in all, after his discharge.
Ten children were born to George and Livonia (White) Jackson.

In the family files is George's discharge certificate from the Civil War, dated Nov. 1864 and signed by John Creagan, the leather "wallet" for the discharge certificate, George's GAR badge and his g-granddaughter, Mary has a 3 drawer chest made by him in 1868.
