Today marks the 133rd anniversary of Robert Houghwout Jackson’s birth.
Robert H. Jackson appeared on Saturday, February 13, 1892, in Spring Creek Township, Warren County, Pennsylvania.
The precise location was the farmhouse that Robert’s great-grandfather Elijah Jackson had built on the Brokenstraw Creek much earlier in the 19th century.
Robert’s birth day was very snowy. But a doctor arrived in time. He delivered Robert in the second-floor room where his father, William Eldred Jackson, had been born thirty years earlier.
