This date corresponds to the death of a Reverend William Jackson who served as the minister at Norfolk, Virginia's prominent St. Paul's Church from 1849 to 1855 (upon his demise from yellow fever) but it would require further research to verify whether it is the same individual. Only a fair copy but apparently a rather uncommon book for OCLC cites only nine copies among member libraries.…

The treason charges, extending over 12 pages, accused Jackson of encouraging the King's enemies in France to invade Ireland.…
