My computer has had some problems which I just got corrected and additionally, I have been working on a new home for us all summer. Still am working on the home but at least the computer problem is solved. I have two possibilities for Joseph Jacksons parents. My cousins and I are in conflict over which is correct. It has been a while since I looked at either line and must refresh my memory before I proceed. It may take a few days to work the time in, unless it rains which would keep me from my new home work (yard). I will be in touch asap. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me directly using dejlcn@juno.com. I would like to have your direct e-mail address for future correspondence, if you don't mind sending it. Hopefully, I will have it by the time I am ready to send you the information. If not, then I will post it back on this message board. Sounds like you have some family stories of which I am unaware. I know very little family history until Jacksonville, Illinois. Joseph's oldest son William is my line and his son Emsley. I have found several other cousins via the name Emsley Jackson. It seems to be a fairly uncommon name. Do you know anything about its origin. I believe that Emsley and Emma (twins) were the last two children born to Sarah just before her death. I presume that my Emsley must have been named for Joseph's Emsley? Help. Thanks, Donald
