1865

Andrew Jackson, one of the Jackson uncles named after President Andrew Jackson, committed a murder in the Jackson Mill. 

During the summer, Andrew, one of the Jackson uncles who grown up with Thomas and Laura during their years at Jackson’s Mill, had worked to repair and reopen the saw and gristmill in the years following Cummins’s departure for California and subsequent death, was accused of murder for the death of a former employee following a violent altercation.  Andrew died two years later, in October 1867, and is buried in the Jackson family cemetery.
