Pickmore Jackson (November 7, 1822 – February 9, 1892) was an American shoemaker and politician.
Jackson was born in Saugus, Massachusetts on November 7, 1822 to William and Mary (Stocker) [Stanford] Jackson. In 1842 he joined the shoemaking renaissance in Saugus, following the lead of the Raddin and Newhall families. Soon thereafter, Jackson 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.[1] By 1862, Jackson had also served on the Saugus school committee.[2]
Pickmore Jackson married Lura Nourse on September 14, 1848. They had five daughters, all born in Saugus: Louise Abby Jackson (May 28, 1850 – January 9, 1870), Mary Ella Jackson (born April 18, 1852), Susan Stanford Jackson (June 12, 1855 – September 7, 1870), Gertrude Jackson (November 18, 1858 – May 27, 1880), and Addie Augusta Jackson (born December 2, 1862). Lura died in Saugus on January 29, 1892, and Pickmore died there eleven days later on February 9, 1892.[3]
