History by his great great great grandson Phillip Plotz, M.D.
James was a carpenter from Knox County, Tennnessee. His parents were John J. Jack (b: 1778, Washington County, N.C. now in Tennessee; d: 1847, Rhea County, TN) and Mary Polly Taylor Jack (b: 1772, Pennsylvania; d: May 1856, Morgantown, TN)
He married Marissa (or Manissa) Henderson and had the following children: Mary E. Jack (b: 1843, Cherokee County, AL, Martha M. "Belle" Jack (b: 1844; d: bef 1871, Chattanooga, TN), David Marion Jack (b: 1846; d: 16 May 1901, Van Buren, AR), Virginia Henderson Jack (b: May 1851, AL; d: 31 Jul 1899, Chatanooga, TN) and Marissa (or Manissa) Jane Jack (b: 1848; d: 1920)
During the Civil War, James enlisted as a Union soldier private at the age of 44 in Murfreesboro, TN on 20 Jul 1863 in the 4th Tenn Cavalry Reg, Co. D. His son, David Marion Jack, also enlisted in the same company and survived the war.
His papers describe him with gray hair, blue eyes, fair complexion, and 5 foot 9 inches.
As a member of the cavalry, he would have been skilled in horsemanship and participated in the major battles of his unit and survived at least 18 months before succumbing to disease.
After a 4-month hospitalization, Private James Jack died 5 Mar 1865 of erysipelas in a military hospital in Pulaski, TN.
He was originally buried in Columbia, TN. After the war, the government established the national cemetery in Murfreesboro and re-interred all Union soldiers buried within a 100-mile radius in Murfreesboro. His number of 177 indicates he was one of the first soldiers to be buried there.
After the war, a comrade from his unit, Annanais Brazelton Bell, married his daughter Martha "Belle" Jack.
