Would these children be able to be claimed as our Indian Heritage if we can provve lineage this far? I have just started our family research. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

We have laughed about that recently...you know, the old kissin' cousins thing. Funny...I was a blond baby, but by the time I was in first grade, by hair was brown and got darker, as you said, to the point of looking black. My kids and I have argued over whether my hair is dark brown or black! My mother and I had the same argument about hers years ago! My eyes also were dark brown like my mother's and father's. All 3 of us kids have dark brown eyes, although mine have become more hazel as I have grown older. I don't know where my husband's Andersons are from. I keep saying I'm going to research them. I will check the Don Norman genealogy right now. Thanks for the tips. June in GA

The Scotch-Irish especially in the south were famous for taking Cherokee men and women for mates as they made very handsome children many with blue eyes and high cheek bones. Loretta Lynn and her sister Crystal Gayle,and the Judds are good examples. Alan Jackson from your area in Georgia closely favors my blond haired blue eyed cousins,and he is my height 6`4". I was blond haired as a baby but my brown hair was so dark that it appeared black from a distance,and my eyes,like my mother`s were brown.These names I mentioned are mainly from Virginia and West Virginia around Buckhannon.There are alot of Andersons in that area.Well June thanks for your letter. Sincerely,L.H. P.S. Go back to Google and enter "DON NORMAN" geneology.

It's been awhile. Well, the surnames I work with most are: Ansley, Briscoe, Burson, Camp, Griffin, Hailes/Hales/Hale, Jackson, Mayfield, McCarty, Nowell, Ross, Sorrells, Spicer, Wilder, and Wright. There are others, but I haven't dealt a whole lot with them. These surnames, at least my lines of them, seemed to have, for the most part, stayed in Walton Co., GA, once they reached there from MD, PA, VA, NC, and SC. Two family legends: One says that we have some Cherokee blood (I think it's through the Griffin who m. a Sorrells), and the other is that we are related to Betsy Ross but have no proof...would not have been through her first husband, John Ross, as they had no children. However, my Burson line was in the same area of PA as her family; and the Burson and Ross family did intermarry. Thanks so much for anything you come up with. June in GA

I believe that we have made contact on line before.My wife is a "Stone"girl and we both have Andersons in our family linage. I am related to Jesse and Frank James and on of my relatives on my Westfall side was a train conducter married to a Westfall girl and his surname was Anderson.The poor man was killed in the process of a train robbery by the James - Younger gang.They are cousins to me in at least 2 ways maybe 3 and probably moreThe James Boys are related to the Royal Windsors as I am also,They are also related to my cousinS John Adams and John Quincey Adams through my grandparents John and Priscilla Alden,and My great aunt Julia Neale Jackson(Stonewall`s mother)married a Mr. Woodson after the death of my uncle Jonathon Jackson died and they had a boy called "Wirt"Woodson who was a cousin of Jesse Woodson James. So there is a little info for you. Lady you have picked a "tough nut to crack" as this Jackson clan has so many Johns,Thomas, William,Andrews,Marys,Eli! zabeths,Marthas,and many more common names repeated over and over again. Why don`t you and William Jackson both send me lists of the unusual surnames in your family lines and maybe I can help you.Send the Oddball names that nobody has everheard of plus if you recognize any surnames I`ve posted then let me know as I work mainly by recognition of strange uncommon names and it works beautifully for me. I can`t guarantee anything except I will try to help you both find your roots. Sincerely Lionhearts.

Those of you who have considered or are considering DNA testing - but not yet committed yourself as yet, I want you to know first hand - you may/may not get a match - your research will have a lot to do with the match and DNA sure will clear up a lot of questions (or at least it did for me). How many of you have done research and found 0-0 within printed census returns, or have read images showing enumerationw under "Free Person of Color" (hereafter noted as FPC? Had you considered Native American or ethnic groups? DNA will prove it! To do so, you must order not only the 25 marker test, but also the Y-DNA Plus. The Y-DNA Plus will give you not only the breakdown, but also early geographic regions of your ancestral blood line. In order to obtain the results, the sample must be taken from a direct male descendant being the Jackson surname. Our results gave us: 75% Indo European; 25% Native American; 0% Asian; 0% African. The 25% Native American is by MARRIAGE ONLY. Family tradition has always held that we had Native American ancestry, but we did not know who/where. - - In research, Andrew, as well as his brothers were listed within the 1820-1830 printed census returns as 0-0 - in reading the images, the enumeration breakdowns were given under FPC section. In finding Cherokee Applications that were rejected only because they were not enrolled (which was not unusual) the DNA not substantiated the Cherokee Applications, but also substantiated an ole 1840-1853 Chancery Record of which Andrew's sister was involved with testimony that she was of Native American ancestry. With this information, Andrew and his sister one could easily rationalize that their father, William also married a Native American thus the high percentage (25%) of Native American family ancestry. Another thought, if any daughter of William married a Native American and assumed the Jackson surname (which many Native Americans did adopt an Americanized surname) the DNA would not match, but they could well be within your direct line BY MARRIAGE, but possibly would not match your DNA. Bottom line, don't despair - you may well have found your family line through DNA, or maybe not (especially if DNA is involved) - - DNA and good research go hand in hand - I have learned a lot. Contact your Jackson administrator - she will help you further if you're interested. Hope this helps someone Evyonne

Jackson 6 July 1829 Ireland > Kentucky? > Missouri Gonzales Co., Texas One of "Old" Gonzales Eighteen" Alamo Defender (birth/death dates: ?-1836) DeWitt Land Grant Records shows entered Texas July 6, 1829 with family of four - receiving a "sito" of land. Jackson registered for his land May 1, 1831. His league of land was located SW of Gonzales next to Jonathan Cottle's league on the west bank of the Guadalupe River.. Jonaathan and Margaret Cottle, parents of Thomas Jackson's wife, Louisa, also entered Texas on July 6, 1829. On Sept 18, 1830 Thomas Jackson registered his brand and cattle markings with the County Court - brand being the letters T and J united. (Gonzales Co. records show one of Louisa's bro. to have been born in Lincoln Co., Mo. Initially, Thomas J. Jackson was listed on the Alamo roster as from Ireland - Mexico had closed its borders to U.S. citizens, but would allow "foreigners" or those of the Roman Catholic faith to come in and settle - It is known that Jackson entered Texas w/family of four (wife + 3 children?) other sources indicate they had four children (one bor! n in Texas?) - Jackson of the the Old Gonzales Eighteen, defenders of the Gonzales cannon in the Battle of Gonzales - entered the Alamo with the Gonzales Relief Force March on 1, 1836 and d. March 6, 1836. After her husband's death, Louisa Cottle Jackson married James B. Hinds. Louisia's brother, Almond Cottle, is shown on the 1839 Tex Roll for Gonzales County representing the heirs of Thomas Jackson. Some of the Donation Land granted to the Jackson's heirs was located in Lampasas County, Texas. #2 William Daniel Jackson by 1836 Ireland > Kentucky? ? Alamo Defender (1807-1836) "Alamo Defender" - Mexico closed its borders to U.S. citizens, but would allow citizens of foreign countries to come in. Initially William D. Jackson was shown on Alamo roster as being from Ireland where he was born - former sailor - participant in Siege of Bexar - served with the Alamo garrison possibly as lieutenant of artillery company. Some sources indicate that it may be possible that Thomas J. Jackson, who died from the Alamo may have originally been from Kentucky. Related? My paternal ancestor (not Jackson) was in Texas in 1834 (prior to the revolution) - He and other Rangers were deeply involved in protecting those who where in what became known as "The Runaway Scrape" (trying to stay ahead of the destructive Mexican army, but also having to protect themselves from Indian raids on the caravans) - Sam Houston was gathering volunteers for his army, while others were fighting to keep Indians from killing those ahead of Santa Anna. My ancestor also participated in the "Woll Campaign" known as the second invasion of Mexico on Texas soil It is also known as the Battle of Salado - - Indian Depredations in Texas continued through the 1860s. My Jackson ancestor was in Texas by 1878 - with Indian raids still going on, but not to the point of depredations - mainly horse stealing. Do a search for Alamo Defenders - and you'll find the list of all or go direct to: http://hotx.com/alamo/toc.HTML where much is available to read about our Texas shirne. We even have ghosts that appear regularly looking for their father, loved ones, or even earlier, protecting the front gates from Mexican intruders after the Alamo fell.

I am a descendent of Richard Jackson b.1505 who was the great grandfather of Old Hickory,and Stonewall,both. Our line started out in Cecil Co, Maryland,went to Pa, and Va, down to N.C. and S.C. then to Putnam and Walton Co. Ga. They were in and around Eatonton,Ga then many pulled up stakes and went to Texas before the Battle at the Alamo in 1836 when 5 Jacksons were amongst those killed at the Alamo. Many of these Jacksons came from Tennessee,and from around New Madrid, Mo. There are many Johns, J.F.s and Williams in this clan.I suggest that you both go to Google and look up these 2 subjects: #1 "The Mc Ginty html" and #2 "Richard Jackson b. 1505 at Killingswold Grove,Yorkshire,England", I feel that this and the geneology lists may help both of you folks immeasurably,as my kin are related to the James/Youngers,and my great grandmother was Cherokee named Mattie Meeks. Her son`s initials were J.F. Jackson (James Frederick) but there were Williams,! and Johns who were ancestors before my grandfather. Good luck and I hope this helps you both. Lionhearts.

Does anyone on this list have any information about a William Jackson who was a gunner on the ship, Bona Nova ? I assume this Jackson would have been born in England, and was a gunner on the ship in the 1620-1630 time frame. Thus, he may have been born about 1600. Thanks, Mary
