James Jackson was the son of Wesley Jackson and his wife, Elizabeth.

He was born probably in Northwest Fork Hundred, Sussex Co., DE. on 30 November, 1845. He appears with his family in the 1850 and 1860 DE. census records but not in the 1870 census so it is possible he was married by then.

James married a woman named SARAH J. (last name unknown). He died on 26 May 1926 and is buried at Harmony Methodist Church in Sussex County. His wife was born 24 October 1856 and died on 7 February 1920. She, too, is buried at Harmony.

I do not know the names of any children but buried in the same plot with James and Sarah are:

• Arvel A. Jackson (10/22/1911 - 6/26/1988)
  
• William W. Jackson (1885 - 1970 )
  
• Sarah Jannie Jackson (5/15/1886 - 11/16/1986)
  
• "Our Baby" (1917)
  
• James Wesley Jackson (Aug 1907 - April 1909)
