He is a native of Escambia County, Ala., born March 1, 1851.  On attaining his majority, he engaged as a teamster in the timber business, and after continuing the same two years, purchased an interest in a photograph gallery at Brewton, Ala., which he carried on jointly with R. P. Watts for a period of about eighteen months, and then purchased his partner's share and remained sole proprietor until disposing of the establishment sometime later.  After selling the gallery, Mr. Jackson again embarked in the timber business, which he continued until 1877 and then went to Texas, where for one year he followed the pursuit of agriculture.  Returning to Alabama, he a third time began dealing in timber and lumber, but relinquished the business in 1885 and engaged in merchandising at Pepton, Conecuh county, where he sold goods until his removal to Wallace, in 1889.  From 1889 until 1891, Mr. Jackson conducted a business by himself, but at the latter date, became associated cith C. R. Cochran, and the firm thus constituted, purchased the commissary department of the Sullivan Timer company at Wallace, Sullivan and Pine Long, at all three of which points they are now conducting well appointed stores.  Mr. Jackson is an examble of the successful self-made man and occupies a conspicuous place in the estimation of the community where he resides.  He was married at Flomation, Ala., in 1880, to Amelia, daughter of Merida Beasley, of Florida, and his home is brightened by the presence of three interesting children, namely:  Rufus P., Samuel N., and Amelia Emma.  Politically, Mr. Jackson is a democrat, and he is now a member of the board of trustees for his township.

32. Allen W. JACKSON

RECORD: Jane Parker McManus, Pioneers West Of Appalachia; Printed 1984, Page 265:

The following history was recorded by Jane Parker McManus:

Allen W. Jackson was the youngest son of Levi Jackson and Catharine (Thompson).  He was born in Georgia on December 25, 1818, and died February 28, 1890 in Louisiana.  He married Mahala Harmon and they had thirteen children.

Allen and Josiah Jackson and six other families, immigrated from Conecuh County, Alabama, in the fall of 1842, traveling by boat to Shreveport, Louisiana, where they bought team, tools, milk cows.  From there the families crossed the Sabine River into Texas and  settled on Duck Creek at the edge of Bald Prairie in Robertson County. In the fall of 1859.  Allen and Josiah then moved their families to Rapides Parish, Louisiana.

[Note by Joyce Hervey:  The father of Allen and Josiah Jackson, i.e., Levi Jackson, received a headright land grant of one-third of a league of land from the Republic of Texas for his service during the Texas Revolution.  Levi Jackson died by 1839 and his estate was probated, leaving as the only property his headright certificate.  Allen and Josiah Jackson went to Texas to claim their father's land. Deed records and probate records of Robertson County show land transactions of Josiah and Allen W. Jackson.]

In 1861 the Civil War began and Allen W. Jackson and three of his sons joined the Southern cause.  The two oldest sons were killed and were buried in Richmond, Virginia (according to John Daw Jackson, son of Allen W. Jackson).

Allen Jackson was a minister of the "Camelite" Church. He built a log cabin in the Pine Island, Louisiana, community, which was used as a church on Sunday and a school during the week.  

Ollie Jackson King, granddaughter of Allen W. Jackson, provided some of the early church records, one of which contains the following reference:
 
"September 4th 1870:  The Church of God on Caney in Rapides Parish, met with the Church at New Hope, when and where Bro. A. W. Jackson was called and set apart in gospel order to the work of Evangelist for the Church of God in all places.  s/s Alford Padon, Evangelist"

Mahala HARMON

No records of the parentage of Mahala Harmon have yet been located.  Following is some general information on the Harmon name:

RECORD: The Harmon Family, 1670-1984, by Terry L. Harmon, 1984, printed by Minor's Publishing Company, Boone, North Carolina.

The Harmon name, originally Hermann, later Harman, means "man of the army".  Hermann is a german name, and tradition is that all Harmons and names of variant spellings descent from Herman, a German liberator and member of the Roman Army who lived before Christ.

Several members of a Harman family arrived in Pennsylvania in the early 1700's from Germany and moved down the Shenandoah into Giles co., Virginia, where they established some of the earliest white settlements in the area and left many descendants of the Harman name.  Other descendants went to Rowan Co., North Carolina and established the family name in that area.

Many of these descendants are tied together in the above referenced book, but no lineage of Mahala Harmon is contained therein.

Nathaniel Alexander HARVILLE

RECORD: Jane Parker McManus, Pioneers West Of Appalachia; Privately Printed 1984; p Page 284   

Quoted from McManus
"When Nathan arrive in Simpson in 1866, the area was exactly as he imagined a paradise would be, so this was where he decided to make his home.  In a short time, he met and married one of the Jackson daughters, built his home and went into business.  At one time he operated a grist and rice polishing mill on Caney Creek about 5/8 mile south of the present day Hwy 8.  Since the early settlers grew rice in the rainy marshland south of Simpson, Nathan used the mill operated by water power to remove the husks off the rice.  He also used the water mill to saw lumber which was plentiful in the adjacent forests."

When he was but a lad of 15, Nathan Harville enlisted in Company F, 12 Alabama Infantry, and fought for the southern cause.

RECORD: CSA penison record, 17 Sep 1913:  

Enlisted in the Civil War Jan 186_ near the Orange County VA Court House in CO F, 12th Alabama Infantry. He suffered a slight scalp wound...Was paroled near Richmond, VA, due to illness. Reported as absent/sick on the rolls for July 1864. Last reported for Sept/Oct 1864. Applying for pension based upon old age disability. Lives with wife, Mary Jane, age 64 and children(4 boys 1 girl) ages, 41, 38, 35, 33 and 23. Owns 4 acres and a house valued at $150.00.   (This application was rejected)

1 Jan. 1917 (Approved 14 Mar 1917)  Second enlistment was in Company A, 4th Alabama State Reserves. Was enroute home to Montgomery, AL when he enlisted for the second time.  Affidavit of M. F. Roberts says he served with Nathan in the reserve unit, and that they were disbanded at Columbus, GA. when they heard of Lee's surrender.

Notes from me (Joyce Parker Hervey)

According to recollections of my aunt, Luna (Parker) Kenny, granddaughter of Nathan Harville, he was not an ideal family man. He would get the wanderlust from time to time and leave his wife and family at home and just take off for two to three weeks at a time, never telling anyone where he was going or what he was doing. This made his wife bear most of the burden of raising a family.
