Jackson mar. Ann Smart. Second Wife Elizabeth Durham.

I have a gggrandmother named Caroline Jackson born abt 1835 in Yell Co AR. Her father was Robert Jackson, born abt 1809 in TN. I don't know the mother's name, family legend has it that she was a Native American. Another relative had done some research over twenty years ago, and it is summarized in a submission to http://www.familysearch.org. She shows Robert's parent's being a David Jackson and Ann Bowen, both from Tennessee. However, I have seen other listings showing Robert's parents being a Graham Jackson, who lived in the same area. I haven't been able to confirm who the real parents are or locate any primary documentation. However, other entries in familysearch.org shows a David "tobe" Jackson, and 'Ann, or 'Anney', or 'Anne Bowen, being born and married in TN about the same time as the one my relatives identified as Robert's parents. I suspect they are the same, and Anne has an extensive family history in familysearch.org. Only two other children are listed, neither named John. I also have a newspaper abstract from the Mar 6 1835 issue of the Arkansas Gazette showing a David Jackson dying in Hot Springs Co(date of death abt Jan 21 1835). James Jackson was appointed administrator of the estate. I don't have any other info and haven't had the time to research the full article to see who else may be mentioned, considering I don't live in Arkansas. let me know if you want to discuss any other information.
