I have a Jim Bradshaw that married a Mary Sanders, a sister to my husband's great grandmother. She was Cherokee Indian.Mary and Jim were in Oklahoma. Also we are having problems with the Jackson line. Abraham Jackson was born ca1805 supposedly in Virginia, but the first we really find him is in Mo/Ark. Then some of his family went on to Oklahoma. helen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken and Judy Jackson" <kenjudyj@bellsouth.net> To: <ARVANBUR@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, March 17, 2008 8:44 AM Subject: [ARVANBUR] Jackson/Bradshaw names > Helen, > The Jackson is my married name.
