PVT. CO. C. 22 REG. OHIO VOL.
Cornelius Rufus Jackson was born August 14, 1837 to Cornelius Moses and Hannah Martin Jackson in Monroe County, Mississippi. The family moved to Ohio for a time, then made their way to Texas. Moses was a farmer and stock raiser and Cornelius Rufus followed in his footsteps. He was better known as Neeley Jackson. Neeley served in the Ohio Volunteers, Pvt. Co C. 22 Reg., a period of about one year. Neely married Parmelia Jane Pitts in Missouri. They had four daughters and one son. Little Clay Jackson died when he was about two years old and a year later, his mother also died. They are both buried at the Wooten Cemetery, near Junction, Texas. Neeley and his four daughters and others of the Jackson clan, moved to Pine Cieniga, New Mexico, where he established a small cow ranch, but this was not to be because the infamous LC Cattle Company ran all the small ranchers out and took the range land. Neeley once again gathered up his family and moved to Gisela, Arizona. He started another ranch there. He also remarried, but this marriage didn't last too long. Again he married, a younger woman this time, and he moved his ranch to Black Rock Wash, near Fort Thomas, Arizona. Neeley's health began to fail and he died in Safford, Graham County, Arizona. He died June 28, 1917 and is buried in the Safford City Cemetery.
