She lived in West Virginia until others in her family moved westward. Her husband had deserted her with three or four children. She lived with Thomas and Mary Spencer in Polk County, Iowa in 1860. (Mary Spencer was Rachel's mother and Thomas Spencer a second marriage for her mother, Mary.) I found her still living with another Spencer family in Taney County, Mo in 1870, with children Mary 15 and Harry 21 (not sure about Harry being one of her children). Her other two sons were William (born 1844) and Daniel (born 1852). The oldest, William, was born in Virginia and the other two were born in Ohio, possibly Columbiana County, Ohio. I may have found (but not sure) Rachel Jackson living in Grape Grove, Missouri in the 1880 census. She was boarding with A. J. Lozier and kept house and was 57 years old. I have no other informtion on any of the above (William Jackson, Daniel Jackson or Mary Jackson) and would ! appreciate knowing if this rings any "bells" with any Jackson researchers? Many thanks.
