We have not been able to determine the wife of Churchwell, Sr. I would like to have a copy of the letter you mentioned if possible. Also I would like to exchange info with you and Kathy regarding your individual descendants.

I, too, would like to have a copy of the letter you mentioned, if possible. Also would like to exchange info with both of you regarding your individual branches: my husband descends through Churchwell Jr's son Linza/Lindsey -- this is the branch that ended up in southern IL in Pope and Williamson counties. We are in Oregon but there are still Jackson family descendents in southern IL.

I cannot help wondering whether Churchwell Jackson Sr. had more than one wife, which adds to the confusion. It was not unusual for a woman to die in childbirth back then. GIven the number of known children Churchwell Sr. had, I would not be surprised to learn that at least one of his wives had died in childbirth and that he had subsequently remarried.
