(Born: Plymouth, Massachusetts, U.S.A., 21 June 1805; Died: Somerville, Massachusetts, U.S.A., 28 August1 1880) American physician & chemist.

Jackson obtained his medical degree from Harvard in 1829. He was interested in geology as well as medicine and chemistry and he made several geological surveys of various parts of New England between 1837 and 1844. Always a quarralsome type with a touch of madness underneath the surface, he went mad in 1873 and never recovered.
