Nathaniel Jackson was the son of Wesley Jackson and his wife, Elizabeth. He was born probably in Northwest Fork Hundred, Sussex Co., DE in c. 1850 and died in 1934.

Nathaniel appears with his family in the 1860 De census records, age 10. In the 1870 census he is shown, age 19, with an occupation listed as "works on farm".
