This cemetery was established on the location of George Jackson’s orchard. John Jackson, father of George was buried here in 1801. In 1808, George Jackson deeded the cemetery for a community burial ground. During the Civil War, soldiers camped within the cemetery grounds. Over the years, the cemetery has been vandalized. In 1999, The Jackson Cemetery Memorial Foundation was formed as a Community Improvement Project spearheaded by The Clarksburg Stonewall Jackson Civic Club in cooperation with the Clarksburg City Government who is responsible for the upkeep of the cemetery. The Civic Club in conjunction with the foundation will be publishing a historical book related to the cemetery. I am chairperson of the book committee. Sketches of individuals buried in the cemetery will be included in the book. The Jackson Cemetery is rich in historical facts concerning families in the Harrison Co., WV area during the early part of the nineteenth century.
Requests for information about any individuals buried in the cemetery can be sent to Nancy Jackson.
