Only for a short time though. He was born in 1830ish and died in the Civil war. I have him born in SC and died in Ohio, of pneumonia, at a military hospital. One of the documents have him living in Hancock. I also have him in Hatchet and Coosa Co. Al. He had moved him family to Richmond, Ga before entering the war, although he enlisted in AL. What caught my eye was that many of the names you list run down my family line. I have Thomas, William, Frances, James and James wife was Melinda ( could be spelled with an "a" though.) Can't say for sure that there is a connection, but you never know. Gwen Jackson Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
