"Sarah Jack" was born Sarah HOLIDAY in 1748 in Pennsylvania. She was the wife of James Jack, who was born March 17, 1726, in Chester county, PA. At some point they had relocated to Lexington, Woodford county, KY, where James Jack died prior to 1801.

I believe Sarah came to Warren county, OH, in the very early 1800s with sons John Thomas Jack, James Jack, and Samuel Jack. There were also three other sons born to Sarah that I'm slightly aware of; Robert Little Jack, Adam Jack, and Joseph Jack. Whether they came to Warren county as well is unknown to me.

John Thomas Jack married Elizabeth Todd Smith on January 10, 1801, in Versailles Township, Fayette county, Kentucky, prior to removing to Warren county, OH, fairly soon after. I'm guessing that when boys John Thomas, James, and Samuel relocated to Warren county they brought their mother, Sarah (Holiday) Jack, with them. It is thus Sarah and her son, James Jack, along with James' wife, Nancy (Smith) Jack, that are mentioned on the monument in the Jack Cemetery.

Not sure what happened with Samuel after the move to Warren county. John Thomas Jack remained in Warren county until 1828 when he moved with his own son, James H. Jack, to Indiana. Apparently, John Thomas did not like the area in Montgomery or Fountain county, Indiana, and thus moved to Tippecanoe county, Indiana, where he got a land grant. Born July 4, 1777, John Thomas Jack remained in Randolph Township in Tippecanoe county, Indiana, until his death on August 19, 1835.

The family of James and Sarah Jack were pretty thick, so to speak, in Warren county, OH, after the move from KY. I wouldn't be surprised at all if additional Jacks were buried in the Jack Cemetery...
