William Alexander Jackson, the younger brother of Margaret Elizabeth Jackson and the brother-in-law of William Carroll Byrd, received a GLO Land Patent on July 1, 1857 near Patterson, Wayne Co. MO for 200 acres. He then obtained another GLO Land Patent for an additional 120 acres on Oct. 30, 1857.
William Alexander Jackson also served in the Confederate forces. He served as a Private in Captain Holmes' Company B, Clardy's Battalion Missouri Cavalry and was surrendered by CSA Brigadier General M. Jeff Thompson to Union Major General G.M. Dodge on May 11, 1865 at Wittsburg, Arkansas, being paroled there on May 25, 1865. He then swore another oath of allegiance to the United States in Memphis, TN on May 30, 1865. Very little information is known about his service in Clardy's Missouri Cavalry, but it is thought that the unit operated as a partisan (guerrilla) unit and participated in CSA General Sterling Price's 1864 invasion of Missouri. William Alexander Jackson returned to live near his parents in Calloway County, KY after the war – suggesting his possible activity as a Missouri partisan/guerrilla and post-war ostracism by pro-Union neighbors in the Patterson, Wayne Co. MO area where he lived .
