  Notes	Unattributed: JACKMAN, A. M., of Barre, son of Abel and Dorothy (True) Jackman, was born in Corinth, March 2, 1813. His father came from Salisbury, Mass., and was one of the early settlers of Corinth. The son, left an orphan at an early age, went to Barre and learned the trade of wool carder and cloth dresser. His opportunities for education were limited to the common schools of Corinth and a few terms at Barre district schools. Working with untiring industry and living prudently, laying up and not squandering the liberal wages he received, he was enabled in 1836 to hire and three years after to purchase the mill in which he was employed, and he conducted his business until the factory was destroyed by fire in 1853. In February, 1856, Mr. Jackman bought an estate in Barre. Much of this he has sold, and this portion of the property is now occupied by the thriving village of Barre. When he commenced his business everyone, with perhaps the exception of the doctor, lawyer and clergyman, wore homespun, the product of the family loom, woven and fashioned in the home circle, and there was but one cloth manufactory in the state, that of Governor Paine of Northfield, the only product of whose mills was exclusively indigo blue broadcloth. Mr. Jackman has lived to see an entire change in the population of the town of Barre, and he is the only one that remains of the bygone generation of Barre village. He took to wife, April 11, 1837, Christina, daughter of David and Delia (French) French. Their union was blessed with four sons and one daughter: Orvis French (a soldier of the Union, deceased in 1885), John, George W., Eveline (Mrs. F.H. Roberts), and Charles Edgar (deceased). Mrs Jackman departed this life in 1885. Mr. Jackman has always been a Democrat, and has taken an active interest in town and county affairs. For twenty -five years he was sheriff or deputy sheriff and also justice of peace. He was strongly in favor of a resolute prosecution of war for the preservation of the Union, and one of his sons lost an arm in the service. Mr. Jackman carries the cares and labors of his four score years bravely, with form still erect and his mental faculties unimpaired. [1]
