Hello Listees: My O'Briant line is shown below. My problem: I know that Cheatham is my ggggrandfather, and I have documented my line through his son Jesse; however, I have no proof that William Jackson is Cheatham's father although LDS say he is. I also do not have much about Jesse's siblings except for Lucy. Cheatham was born in Buckingham Co, VA. I do not know when he moved to IL and/or whether he came with his parents or after he was an adult. According to census records, Cheatham was in St. Clair Co, IL in 1850 &1860 but in Marion Co, IL in 1870 until his death. I don't know where most of his children settled. 1 William Jackson O'Briant 1775 - Unknown . +Mary Anne Puckett Unknown - Unknown ........ 2 Cheatham O'Briant 1799 - 1879 ............ +Ann Wright 1801 - 1839 ................... 3 Nancy Jane O'Briant 1825 - 1879 ....................... +?
