Read More	Amor Jackson (Joseph, Samuel Jackson) Amor was born in 1797 in Surry Co, NC, the third child born to Joseph and Sarah Jackson. Amor grew up in Surry, and when his father died in 1815, was left a tract of land lying on the west aide of the west fork of Tom's Creek, also a tract of land in Grayson Co, VA. After his marriage, he settled down on the tract of land on Tom's Creek which was the old home place where he was raised. He continued to live on this land until his death in 1870. Amor married ca 1837 to Sallie (Sarah) Hill, born in 1809, the daughter of Robert Hill Jr. and Betsy Vest, of German descent. He was around the age of forty years when he and Sallie were married, and there is a possibility that he may have had an earlier marriage. Amor was a member of the old Whig Party, and upon its abandonment, identified himself with the Republicans. He was a member of the Society of Friends at Westfield, and Sarah was a member of the Baptist church. Amor was a very successful farmer. The 1860 Census of Stokes Co shows him as owning 1,200 acres of land in the Northern District of Westfield, NC. He died in 1869 at the age of 73. The 1870 Census show Sarah owning 1,500 acres, living at her home with her son Robert Franklin age 21, and Emily age 10 living in her household. Her neighbors were Ace Nunn and John Love. Sarah died in 1878 at the age of 71. They are both buried in the Friends Cemetery at Westfield. In his will Amor had left land to increase the cemetery which joins the old part. There are no stones left in the old part of the graveyard where so many of the Jackson and Jessup families are buried. Amor and Sallie were the parents of five children: 1. William Jackson was born in 1838 and married Sarah Shelton. 2. Joseph M. Jackson, born 1 Mar 1840. 3. Martha Ellen Jackson, born 14 Apr 1844 married Elijah Pell. 4. Robert Franklin Jackson married Laura Hill 5. Emily Jackson, born about 1848 and died young
