Pickmore Jackson (November 7, 1822 – February 9, 1892) was an American shoemaker and politician.

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Pickmore Jackson was born in Saugus, Massachusetts on November 7, 1822 to William and Mary (Stocker) [Stanford] Jackson. He married Lura Nourse on September 14, 1848, with whom he had five daughters[1] and one son.[2] Lura died in Saugus on January 29, 1892, and Pickmore died there eleven days later on February 9, 1892.[1]

Career

[edit | edit source]

In 1842, Jackson joined the shoemaking renaissance in Saugus, following the lead of the Raddin and Newhall families. Soon thereafter, he was elected by a majority of Saugus voters as their 1844 representative in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, replacing Benjamin F. Newhall. In 1845, no representative was sent as nobody received a majority of votes, so Jackson wasn't succeeded until Sewall Boardman served from 1846–47.[3] By 1862, Jackson had also served on the Saugus school committee.[4]
