ROSWELL JACKSON WAS WOUNDED AT THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG ON JULY 1, 1863 AND DISCHARGED FOR DISABILITY IN JANUARY OF 1864. HE RETURNED TO INDIANA AND MARRIED SARAH F. BLOUNT ON FEBRUARY 4, 1864
ON MAY 11, 1869 ROSWELL FILED FOR A PENSION BUT FOR SOME REASON HE WAS DENIED AND NEVER RECEIVED IT. HE WAS LIVING IN LINCOLN COUNTY KANSAS DURING THE 1885 KANSAS STATE CENSUS AND HE HAD HIS LAST CHILD JAMES IN DECEMBER OF 1886 WHILE STILL IN KANSAS. ON AUGUST 29, 1896 SARAH FILED FOR A WIDOWS PENSION BUT LIKE HER HUSBAND SHE WAS DENIED THE BENEFIT. AT THE TIME OF FILING SHE WAS LIVING IN TEXAS. THE DENISON TEXAS CITY DIRECTORY FOR 1898-1899 SHOWS SARA AS A WIDOW LIVING ON 1200 WEST MAIN STREET.
SARA DIED ON AUGUST 12, 1901 AND IS BURIED IN THE OAKWOOD CEMETERY LOCATED IN DENISON, GRAYSON COUNTY TEXAS.
IT IS VERY POSSIBLE ROSWELL IS ALSO BURIED HERE BUT CURRENTLY THE IS NO RECORD OF THIS.
