FAST FREIGHT TRAIN..........." PEG LEG" SAM JACKSON
Born Arthur Jackson in Jonesville, South Carolina, to David Jackson, a farmer and native of Virginia, and Emma Jackson, Arthur was the fourth of six children. His fraternal great-grandmother, Racheal Williams, was born 1810 in Virginia, and was commonly referred to as a mulatto. Arthur went on to marry Theo S. Jackson, who was 18 years older than him, and the mother of Herbert Miller and Katherine Miller, both natives of Tennessee. In South Carolina, Arthur made his living busking on the street and performing in patent-medicine shows. Peg Leg Sam gave his last medicine-show performance in 1972 in North Carolina, but continued to appear at music festivals in his final years. He died in Jonesville in October 1977, at the age of 65.[1]
