Notes on James Marion Jackson:
"James Marion was called "The Moon Fixer" because of his six feet - four inch height. He undoubtedly accounts for the height of some of the Edward Lee and Minnie Lee JACKSON McALEXANDER clan. He served in the Civil War as a Private in Companies B and D of Harrison's 3rd Louisiana Calvary and was captured by the "Yankees" near Jackson, Mississippi in July 1863 and was sent to Snyder's Bluff, Mississippi July 30, 1863. On August 7, 1863 he was received and imprisoned at Camp Morton, Indiana and was admitted November 19, 1864 to U. S. A. Post (Small Pox) Hospital, Indianapolis, Indiana. Giving his Oath of Allegiance to the United States he was released, after war hostilities ended, from Camp Morton on May 22, 1865. When he returned to Louisiana, where he had lived prior to his service in the Rebel army, he found his first wife, Malissa FERRELL and two young daughters "sleeping in death". He returned to Marshall County, Mississippi to be with his parents and siblings during the period of his recovery from the rigors of war and imprisonment and the loss of wife and daughters. James Marion swiftly recovered and successfully re-established his health and place in society and on December 22, 1868 married Sarah Jane HARDISTER, daughter of Thomas T. and Mary A. HARRIS HARDISTER. Mary A. HARRIS (1826-1849) was the daughter of Rev. Charles Bascom HARRIS (1800-1870), a noted Methodist Church circuit rider preacher in middle Tennessee, northern Alabama, and northern Mississippi, and Margaret Jane CURRY (1805-1877). Sarah Jane was reared by her Harris grandparents, after the untimely death of her own parents while she was still a young girl. Disaster struck on the night of November 30, 1872 as James Marion was murdered by an unknown assailant while he was checking the stock on his farm near Batesville, Mississippi. This incident took place during the turbulent years of Reconstruction. He is buried in the Dean Cemetery near Chulahoma, Mississippi. His immediate survivors were his wife of almost four years, Sarah Jane, and two young daughters, Minnie Lee - two years old and six weeks old Jimmie Mary JACKSON (1872-1962). Sarah Jane did not remarry and lived the remainder of her life with her kinsfolk. She spent all but about nine years of her life as either an orphan or a widow."
