I have recently found some records that connect our Littleberry Applewhite Jackson with the Jackson family in Butler Co, AL, I think, without a doubt. There are two land records, 1858 and 1860, where land was auctioned in Butler and Crenshaw counties in Alabama to LITTLEBERRY JACKSON. (See my tree for the copies.) The 1860 land record states: Littleberry Jackson of Butler Co, AL. I combed the 1850 and 1860 census for anyone else this would fit, and other than L.B. Jackson in 1860, there are no other matches that would fit. I think this is proof positive that the L.B. Jackson in that census must be Littleberry. I further think that T.B. Jackson in the 1850 census could very well be either a mistake in transcription (it looks like it could be either L or T) or a mistake on the census taker's part (and we all know that we've seen those before!). I also believe that this is the same D.B. Jackson in the 1870 Census of Carroll Co, MS. Perhaps Denis was a nickname, but I beli! eve that Littleberry would have been his given name since his business transactions (land records) were conducted with the name Littleberry. I also think this pretty much squashes the Little Bear/Morningstar story that many of us have heard before. I have no doubt that this Littleberry Jackson of Butler Co is the same as D.B. Jackson of Carroll Co. MS, the father of Littleberry Applewhite Jackson! As to Littleberry wife... I spoke with Mariann Worthington, whose husband is a descendent of Kittie L. Hughes, daughter of B.H. Hughes of Carroll Co. She has in her possession two Bibles, one belonging to Kittie and the other belonging to B.H. Hughes. She conveyed to me that the B.H. Hughes Bible states that his daughter, Louisa Mary Harbin Hughes married App Jackson. (I did a dance of joy for all of us who have been searching for her!) Mrs. Worthington is sending me copies of the Bible and other goodies she has on the Hughes line. I will scan everything she sends me and forward on to anyone who wants it. Now on to the quest for Amanda Caroline... PS I am happy to share anything I find with anyone who wants it. PLEASE if you find something yourself, share with me, too!
