Moses was the father of David Jackson Sr, and the son of James and Hannah (Porteus) Jackson. He and his siblings were born in county Durham, England. His siblings were Amelia, James, Rose Hanna, Mary Jane, Louise, Elizabeth Anne, and John T. Having set sail on the Lord Gough from Liverpool, they arrived in Philadelphia on August first, 1879.
They settled in Salineville (named for it's large amounts of salt deposits) by 1890, and I am not sure what guided their choice to live and raise their children there. Perhaps they had relatives already living there. That is still something for me to discover.
Moses and Cora had 3 children... Lottie (Orr), Edith, and David (Sr). Lottie and her spouse Thomas would settle in Westmoreland Penn. David (Sr) married Virginia Beatrice Duncan and settled in Highlandtown, Columbiana, Ohio.
Moses is listed as being in a mining accident in 1897, in Columbiana County. Family stories say his lungs were severely infected from the mines, and he died at 48 from a chronic stomach infection associated with the chronic lung infection, and heart failure was listed as a contributory cause.
Sometime after Moses passed away, Cora moved in with both her daughters in Westmoreland, Pennsylvania, she passed away in the Westmoreland Hospital, and was buried in Salineville Ohio. cause of death was stomach Carcinoma.
Moses would pass down the Jackson surname to 3 more generations, and after the third generation, the surname would end in the tree of Moses father, James.
