description: "Jacob Beeson Jackson was the sixth governor of West Virginia from 1881 to 1885. In 1855, he married Maria Willard.\nIn his biography it is stated that he was a cousin of Stonewall Jackson. An examination of their family trees shows that the two men were second cousins once removed. He was also a 4th-cousin-once-removed to William Wirt Woodson who was Stonewall Jackson's half brother."
