      Throughtout his married life he lived next door to his brother Thomas Jefferson (Stonewall) Jackson. They are both listed as sons of John R. and Annie Elizabeth Jackson on the undertaker's records and lived side by side on Court Street. His brother Thomas named two of his children after John and his wife Willery.
