Just saw your post on Wm Jackson, MO, wife Margaret. My great aunt celebrated a 50th wedding anniversary a few years back. The party was covered in a Lincoln IL newspaper at that time stating the party for her was in "Grandma Jackson's " house in Lincoln. What is left of my family knows nothing of "grandma Jackson" I'm finally getting down checking all possible marriages at that time that would bring up a Jackson. My great aunt's mother was Mary Elizabeth (Marcum) Sutherland Hatfield. But HER mother was Margaret (Cartwright) Marcum. She was born Aug 8, 1832. She was originally from MO. Her husband George Marcum was born 1834 in Vermont and died 1858 in MO. I have only one daughter Mary Elizabeth of that marriage. But since the husband George died at 24 yrs of age, and widow Margaret died in 1872, I'm looking at the possibility of her marrying a Jackson. That would make her Grandma Jackson to the great aunt's anniversary party. I haven't found any fur! ther children of Margaret, but since I haven't been searching Jackson, I wouldn't know if she had further children with the possible husband Jackson. My Margaret above is 1/2 Cherokee. Her daughter above (Mary Elizabeth (Marcum) Sutherland was born in Jefferson City MO but moved to IL with her husband to have 9 children. Her mother Margaret then may have moved to IL to be with her. Can any of this lead somewhere?
