Career

David Sherwood Jackson was born during the British - American War in New York City and grew up there. He attended public schools. Between 1843 and 1846 he sat as alderman in the Common Council of New York City. He went to commercial transactions. Politically, he was a member of the Democratic Party.

In the congressional elections of 1846 he was in the sixth electoral district of New York in the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington DC chosen, where he became the successor of William W. Campbell on March 4, 1847. James Monroe, however, challenged his election on a technicality at registration. As a result, the U.S. House of Representatives decided on 19 April 1848 that no one was entitled to this seat. Thus, there was a vacancy, which was closed until after the next regular election.

He then pursued his former business. Jackson sat in the years 1856 and 1857 again as Alderman in the Common Council. He died on January 20, 1872 in New York City and was then buried in the Marble Cemetery.
