Election date: 1758? (Elected to the Young Junto before September 22, 1758.)

Paul Jackson (1729–22 September 1767) was an educator, soldier, and physician and a member of the Young Junto, elected c. 1758. Born in Chester County, Pennsylvania, he received an M.A. degree at the Academy of Philadelphia and, on the recommendation of APS member Francis Alison, as a professor of languages at its Latin School thereafter. In 1758 he served as a captain in General Forbes’s expedition to capture the French-held Fort Duquesne. During this time, he also studied medicine with the military surgeons and eventually received a medical certificate from the Royal Army Hospital. Thereafter, he started his own medical practice and settled in Chester County. His brother-in-law Joseph Mather was also a member of the Young Junto. (PI)
