Obituaries
Old Isaac Jackson, probably the last one of the General George
Washington's old servants, died in Montgomery county recently at the
extraordinary age of one hundred and twenty two years. Mr. Daniel
McMillan, an old and esteemed citizen of Montgomery, informs us that he
knew old Isaac for thirty two years, when he was set free. He was then
the property of Georgia's old and honored governor, Troupe. Governor
Troupe, when he made old Isaac free, gave him a good horse,
saddle and bridle, and before the governor died, which occurred some
years afterward, he made provision in his will for the support of old
Isaac until his death. Gov. Troup was buried at "Valdosta," the name of
his plantation in Montgomery county, on the east side of the Oconee
river, and old Isaac's bones rest also in the same county. -
