David and Mary Morrison Jackson emigrated from County Antrim, Ireland and settled a land grant on Crowder's Creek in 1770. During the Revolution, David served in the New Acquisition Militia and fought in the battles of Briar Creek, Hanging Rock, and Fishing Creek, where he was wounded in the head. Between 1797 and 1814, he received three state grants totaling 1475 acres on Allison and Beaverdam Creeks. The original Jackson homeplace was located one-quarter mile east of here. David Jackson (1745-1818) and his wife Mary (1749-1830) had ten sons: Samuel, John, William, Joseph, David, James, Abner, Robert, Hugh, and Elias. Six of their sons remained in the Clover area and have many descendants living in the region today. David and Mary Jackson were members of Bethel Presbyterian Church and are buried in the Bethel Church cemetery, along with several of their sons and their families.
