"1788: Doctor Clement Jackson was esteemed one of the most eminent physicians of this town and neighbourhood for many years. He had laid the best foundation for knowledge in his profession, which the limited advantages, he could obtain in this country, afforded. Having a discriminating mind, and being in the habit of making accurate observations, he soon became acquainted with the nature of the disorders prevalent here, and with the best method of treating them. His practice was extensive; his benevolence universal. He never turned from objects of distress, without making exertions to relieve them; and always regarded the sufferings of others with tender sensibility. His amiable disposition recommended him to all who knew him; he was ;a man greatly beloved.' He died on Friday, the 10th day of October, in the eighty-third year of his age." 10

He was teacher and mentor to Dr. Ammi Ruhamah Cutter, Dr. Joshua Brackett, and his son Dr. Hall Jackson. 10
