John Jackson was an African American barber who was living in Deseronto with his Ontario-born wife, Agnes, at the time of the 1881 census. An advertisement in the Napanee Express newspaper of 2 September 1881 featured his business (in the year that Mill Point changed its name to Deseronto):
JACKSON'S TONSORIAL PARLORS
MILL POINT
Shaving and Hair Dressing Parlors, Main Street, Mill Point, opposite the O'Conner House. New rooms completely furnished. Shaving, hair-dressing and cutting, and shampooing in first-class style. For an easy shave or an artistic hair cut, go to Jackson's.
It is not clear where John and Agnes Jackson moved to after leaving Deseronto.
