Yes. I might have checked behind on the turn, though. With one pair, I will often bet flop, check turn, call river. I would say that is my default HU.

I figured that there is not much I am ahead of at this point.
My last hope had been jacks but now that jack screws it up.

By betting out I hoped to represent jacks and hope he didn't have them.
When he raised I assumed he did and got out of the way.

By checking behind I would have indicated that I was scared of the turn card.

And that would have given you a cheaper showdown as a result.

I would never check the turn here. Villian could have a huge range of holdings that don't fill up when the J hits. I'm not giving a free card here or inviting a bluff.

He could have a large range of holdings that do fill up as well. I'm not married to a mediocre overpair in this hand. I check, looking for a cheap showdown. If none is offered, I'm finding a better spot.

Based on your logic, which hands that "don't fill up" are behind you at this point?
