Surnames: Jackson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Xgk.2ACEB/7599 Message Board Post: Am searching for information on James Jackson Hopper b. 1829 in Parke County Indiana. He went to Iowa with his mother in abt. 1841. We dont know who she was , but are suspecting that James was illegitamate and that her maiden name may have been Jackson. We have found a census in Iowa with one of James children after he died living with a lady that was not supposed to be related and the census states that his daughter is the ladys grniece and the womans name is Lucy ann Hopper Smith. These Hoppers were in Parke County Indiana at the time of James birth. James married a Julianna Elder in the 1850' in Green Island Iowa. and had several children. If any of this sounds familiar please contact me. Thank you Dianna
