Who were Stonewall Jackson's parents?
Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson had three children. The first was by his first wife, Elinor and was a stillborn son. The second child was borne by his second wife, Mary Anna, and was a girl they named Mary in 1858. She died at one month old. The couple had another daughter, Julia, and she was born in 1862 shortly before Stonewalls death.
What was Stonewall Jackson's full name?
I'm sure he was fine with it. I can't think of any quote where he said "Gee, I love my name" or anything like that. Jackson was an extremely religious man, and Thomas and Jonathan (his first and middle names) are both Biblical names. He always signed his real name, or initials, and did not go around introducing himself as "Stonewall". The newspapers and his soldiers were very fond of the Stonewall name though. Jackson had other nicknames. For about ten years before the Civil War he was out of the army and teaching at The Virginia Military Institute. The students there called him "old Tom Fool Jackson", because they thought he was eccentric. Some of his soldiers called him "Old Jack". Others called him "old Blue Light" - Jackson had very vividly blue eyes, and there was a type of religious revivalists in America then who were called "blue lights". There was another General Jackson, Alfred, in the Confederate Army. His men called him "Mudwall". I cant imagine he was too happy about it.

How many kids did General Stonewall Jackson have?
Jackson's only child was a daughter, Julia Laura, who was six months old when her father died. She married William Christian in 1885, and died of typhoid fever in 1889. Her children were Julia Jackson Christian (1887-1991), who married Edmund R. Preston; and Thomas Jonathan Jackson Christian (1888-1952), who married three times. Both of Jackson's grandchildren had several children; thus there are many living descendants of Stonewall Jackson.
