Jackson's occupation was rumored to be a farmer, but he was also supposedly a renowned carpenter. His wife Catherine left him in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, possibly in 1905, when she gathered up 6 or 7 of their kids, hopped a train for Tacoma, Washington. Apparently Jackson was angry and hurt. He had developed something similar to Alzheimer's. Catherine and children ended up at 2706 South 14th Street in Tacoma, across the street from Arthur Robinson's family home. This is how Mabel and Arthur met. Also, Mabel's brother Oliver, met Arthur's sister Ina and they married too. Jackson imigrated to the United States in 1884. On the 1900 Michigan Census he had been in the states for 16 years. This census also notes that he was not nationalized.
Jackson signed his final naturalization paper 10 Feb 1891. A neighbor from Mulmur Township, Paul English, swore that Jackson "has behaved as a man of good moral character, attached to the Constitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the same."

Walter Fletcher, 1870-1884
