Your Jacksons are the descendants of Henry Jackson. The census lists your grandmother Emma Jackson as a mulatto. Her spouse was Henry Jackson and his brother was Ephraim Jackson. Henry died around 1898 leaving Emma with nine children to care for. The census list Emma and her older two sons as servants in the household with W.S. Stokes. Possible Marriages of their children (note some may be incorrect): Jack Jackson married Leina Mclntire 1/29/ 1911, Riley married Viola Sinkfield 5/7/ 1905, Anna married Robert Fuller c 1902, and Minnie married (m2 Sellers Sinkfield, 3/10/1917 Note: Anna and Robert Fuller had the following children: Henry bc 1907 AL (m Rosa Bell Calhoun, 12/29/1924), Minnie bc 1910 AL (m Lonnie Feagin, 05/16/1931), Charles bc 02/26/1911 AL (m1 Vallie Mae Feagin, 03/24/1934) (m2 Queen L. Miller, 06/25/1939), Emma bc 1914 AL (probably died young), and Hasty Bell bc 1915 AL (m George Jackson 09/01/1934). I have more information on many Jackson families from Covington County. If you can confirm the information is correct we may have a link and I will follow up with you later. Have a great day!

Yes, the names you mentioned sound very familiar! I do have some information on General Jackson and possibly Hasty Jackson. However, I will have to look at it this weekend or next week.

Author: SteveStone94 Surnames: BLOCKER Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.alabama.counties.covington/3064/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I've been trying to track down all the children of Mary Ann Catherine Taylor and John Olin Blocker. The couple shows up in 1870 Covington Co. census, and later the family shows up in 1880 and 1910. Both Mary and John Blocker died in 1818 and are buried in Harmony Baptist Church Cemetery. According to the 1910 census, the couple had 8 children. I can find traces of William Washington, John Abrams Randolph, Marion Jasper Ezekiah "Ezra", and a daughter named Iola, but little else. Any information on this family will be appreciated, but I am especially looking for their 1900 census listing. Thanks!
