Upon her move to Arlington in 1862, she met and began dating Frank Jackson, who was two years older than her. They went on to marry in 1864. Together they had four children named Denise, who was born the following year, Olivia, who was born nine years later, Timothy, who was born ten years later and Gerrard, who was born twelve years later. Their two sons both died before the age of four. The deaths of their sons had lasting damage on their marriage and they soon separated.

They were married for eleven years, ending with his death in 1899. After their marriage, they moved to Richmond and she never saw her children again.
