Notater:

"My grandfather, Joseph Brigham Jackson was born October 28, 1853 in Manchester, Lancashire, England to Thomas and Alice Crompton. At age three he along with his mother and siblings , sailed from Liverpool, England on the ship Emerald Isle, arriving in New York in 1853 where the family was joined by his father Thomas Jackson who had come to America at an earlier date to work and earn passage money for the rest of his family. They came to Utah on John Banks Ox Train, arriving in Great Salt Lake City on Oct 1, 1856. Joseph was baptized in the Mormon church on May 6, 1865 and thereafter he dedicated his life to service in the church. He was a very devout follower. He served on two missions, one after his second marriage. He married Mary Emily Beckstead on May 15, 1874, (daughter of Sidney Beckstead and Ann Sophia Rollins) also pioneers of the LDS church. Children of this marriage were Cora Adelma, Mary Emily, Lillian May, Alice, Amilicent, Dora Bell and Joseph Q. Joseph Q died as a baby. My father John Leon was the only son of Joseph Brigham to survive to adulthood. My grandfather married Mary Ann Wilkinson on November 17, 1886 in the LDS Temple at Logan, Utah. Prior to the birth of my father, John Leon, the family fled at gun point to Mexico to escape persecution because of their beliefs. He was very influential in helping to establish the colony at Colonia Diaz. He amassed considerable land holdings and water rights and stocked his lands with what they called "blooded" cattle. He operated a freight line from the colony to Deming New Mexico and owned a grist mill in Colonia Dublan. He was president of the Mercantile Association and as such was instrumental in the construction of many buildings in the colony, including the school house and the opera house. He died at age 58 as the result of an accident involving an attempt to stop a runaway horse. Following the Pancho Villa raid on Colonia Diaz, the Mexican government stripped his survivors of all the land, the buildings and the water rights. He was buried in the Mormon Cemetery at Colonia Diaz which was utterly desecrated during the raid. He died before I was born. It has always been sad to me that I never knew him. May his soul rest in peace. Bio by "Tad"
