Patricia I think I missed the first part of this discussion on Jacksons. I have been searching for the parents of my ggrandfather, David Clemons Jackson, without success for years. He was born in IN (Co. unknown) Dec. 1822, married my ggrandmother, Hannah Blackburn, in Monroe Co. IN in April 1844. They lived in Brown Co. in 1850 & near Bean Blossom (Brown Co.) in 1860, leaving IN before 1870 & settled in DeWitt Co. IL until ca. 1875. They then moved to NE. One of their daughters was named Latitia. All but one of Hannah's siblings left IN before 1870, most settled in MO & KS. David C. Jackson was reported to have been orphaned at age 2. None of his siblings (if any) are known, but I have suspected there was a John & an Alexander because of subsequent family names. I also suspect that his mother's maiden name was Clemons. Does any of this sound familiar? Feel free to e-mail direct &/or post. Thanks. Keith Johnston
