Template:Spanish name Juan Dámaso Jackson Errazquin (Montevideo, 7 October 1833 – Montevideo, 19 December 1892) was a Uruguayan businessman and philanthropist.[1]

Biography

Son of the British immigrant John Jackson and the Uruguayan lady Clara Errazquin Larrañaga, his godfather was his grand-uncle Dámaso Antonio Larrañaga. He studied at Stonyhurst College and afterwards in the United States.[1]

Upon the death of his father he came back to Uruguay and undertook an important activity in the agricultural field, both commercially and in education.[1] The Agricultural School in Manga was a pioneering institution for educating agricultural technicians (nowadays that settlement has been transformed into a development with the name of Jacksonville).[2]

He was also a philanthropist, contributing to the establishment of the Salesians of Don Bosco in Uruguay.[1]

The fact of his father being Protestant and his mother Catholic made him a very tolerant person in religious matters, notwithstanding the fact that he was a Roman Catholic.[1]

His remains are buried at the Jackson Chapel.[1]
