Levi Jackson, fourth child of Isaac Jackson and Mary Pairson, was born 3 Jan 1770 in Orange Co., North Carolina, where he spent most of his childhood. He married Catharine Thompson on 24 May 1798 and five children were born. Catharine was born 20 May 1780 in Orange Co., North Carolina, the daughter of Joseph Thompson (b. 13 Oct 1756) and Hannah (?) (b. 7 Mar 1750).
The Jackson's were all members of the Cane Creek Monthly Meeting of the Quaker Church. The Cane Creek Monthly Meeting was established 7 Oct 1751 and was located on stream Cane Creek in the Central part of Orange County (now Alamance County), North Carolina. They moved to South Carolina; then to Jefferson Co., Georgia by 1802; to Conecuh Co., Alabama in 1818.
Quaker records show him "disowned" 26 Jun 1819, probably for "bearing arms" or "breaking away from the Quaker teachings." At this time, Levi embraced the Baptist faith. He helped establish the Catawaba Springs Baptist Church, located six miles south of Brewton in Escambia Co., Alabama. The death date and burial for Catharine Thompson has not been located.  Levi Jackson died ca. 1848 in Robertson County, Texas.
