Hello Jackson Co list: I'm having a little trouble with my email so I'm reposting this. Sorry if it turns out to be a duplicate post. Jesse Shelton and Ruth Jackson McDuff (dau of Richard Ryan McDuff and Elizabeth Reynolds) were married in Bellefonte 23 Aug 1838. Jesse served in the Company of Capt Charles L Witt, Col David Cawlfield Commanding, Alabama Mounted Volunteers from 08 Sep 1836 to 11 Sep 1837. I cannot find them in the 1840 census, however, they are in Jackson Co in 1850, 1860 and 1870. They eventually move on to Lamar Co TX where Jesse dies. His tombstone indicates he was born in Lincoln Co TN on 29 Aug 1818. I have never been able to make a connection to parents of Jesse. Any leads will be appreciated, and I'm willing to share extensive research on this family. Elizabeth
