Thomas Jackson was the oldest child of the eleven children of Francis and Elizabeth W. Childress Jackson.
Some of what we know about Thomas Jackson comes from the document, "The Jackson Family" by Carmine Jackson. "When Francis Jackson (his father) came to Tennessee in 1811, he brought three of his sons: Thomas, the oldest, age 22, Robert, age 20, and Richard, age 19. Thomas Jackson married Ruth "Ruthie" Hendrixs on 10 August, 1813. They made their home on part of the Jackson land near Jackson Ridge.
In 1833 Thomas sold 3 acres of land on which to build a "meeting house." This became the Jackson Ridge Cumberland Presbyterian Church with a cemetery adjoining the churchyard. Both are well kept and are in use at present (1982). In 1842 Thomas and Ruthie moved to Christian Co., Ky., (where they both are buried) rather than face court charges for beating a slave to death. He was also convicted for making false accusations when he accused a neighbor of stealing hogs. He claimed intoxication." This document further states that they were the parents of nine children.
Both their marriage and the move to Christian Co., Ky., is also documented in the book, Eagleville," by Bobbie Sue Shelton, on page 189.
The source "The Jackson Family" by Carmine Jackson, lists them as the parents of nine children:
