    • Portion of an article about Minerva found at www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/!wvwetzel/hc_moore/pafn02.htm#286:
      "It was to a log cabin fashioned with his own hands that young Leonard Jackson brought his bride that summer of 1854. The log cabin was situated but a few feet from the home in which Mrs. Jackson and her son and his family are now dwelling. "When we came here there wasn't a stick amiss for miles around. It was a perfect wilderness, no neighbors. There were no roads. Only trails like cow paths. The creek was awfully crooked in front of our place and it would wash out badly. I worked for weeks to straighten it out." She walked eleven miles through woods to Littleton to trade.
      It was here that Mrs. Jackson toiled long and late beside her husband and where she continued to labor after his death. "Why, I cut as many as fifteen trees in one day, and some of them weren't little ones, either" she reminisced. "That same year I raised 500 bushels of corn with the help of my son, who was 7, and my girl, who
      was but 10."
