"ANDREW JACKSON, attorney-at-law of Ravenna, is a grandson of John Jackson, of Plymouth Rock, Mass., and son of Col. John E. Jackson, a native of Chester, Mass., who immigrated to the West in 1812, and settled in this county, clearing a farm in Aurora Township, and owning and operating there a woolen-mill and saw-mill. At Garrettsville he met and married Clara, daughter of John Tinker, of Granville, Mass., whose family settled in Nelson Township, this county, in 1804. His place of residence was called the "Centerville Mills," in the north part of Aurora Township. Having been elected and served one term, as County Surveyor, he disposed of his factory and sawmill in 1839, and continued the business of surveying, and began preaching the Gospel, having been ordained a Baptist Elder. He was elected State Senator from this district in 1841, serving in that position two terms, and in 1845 was appointed Appraiser of Lands of this county. While delivering a discourse in 1868, he was stricken with paralysis, and died in April, 1869."
John E, wife, and parents are buried in the Jackson Family Cemetery. The Jackson Farm Cemetery has many Jackson's buried in it who lived in Portage Co from 1810 to the early 1900s. It is located in Aurora and is a private cemetery at 1001 N. Chillicothe Rd. (SR 306) just south of the Geauga County line.
