History of Jackson Township District No 10 Mining Richland
District No 10 in Sullivan County features rough terrain and abundant mining. Early settlers arrived in the 1800s with the Ring, Smith, Shepherd, and Johnson families among the first land entrants. The area developed schools, mills, churches, and multiple coal mines including Jackson Hill No 1, No 2, and No 3, with a notable 1913 dust explosion at No 2. A Warren Coal Company strip mine near Jackson Hill No 2 attracts visitors, while biographies detail Singleton Marshall and longtime residents like Greensbury Shepherd, George Ring, Mary Ann Ring, James Brock, and Mary Jane Curry, highlighting family lineages and local industry.
