Biography
Early years
Born in Tabor City, North Carolina on November 6, 1932,[1] Jackson was the youngest of three children. Stonewall is not a nickname; he was named after Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson.[1] (Some publicity claimed he was a descendant of the general, but that is unlikely.)
When Stonewall was two, his father died after which his mother moved the family to Worth County in South Georgia,[1] where he grew up working on his uncle's farm.
Jackson enlisted in the Navy in 1950 and was discharged in 1954.[1&
