As a lifelong Yank, slowly realizing he has hundreds of years of southern roots, I'm trying to get a sense of what my ancestors lived like. My Jones ancestors moved to Jackson by the 1850s. Why would they have moved there? What's the land like? What would the economy have been like back then? Strangely, my G-grandfather moved from Jackson to Boston around the turn of the century. Seems like a very odd emmigration pattern. Did Jackson folks enlist in the Navy back then? So, I'd appreciate anybody's impression of the county in the latter half of the last century. Chris
