WILSON George Washington b: Jan 06, 1839 (my g-grandfather) m: Livonia Deborah WHITE Lucinda E. b: 1841 in MO m: John Henry BUTLER Benjamin and Mrs "Unknown" JACKSON both d: 1847 in Washington County, MO., the JACKSON children were then in the care of Lucinda EVANS (1850 census) then in 1852, James Monroe SEABOURNE was given guardianship of 4 of the JACKSON children. Any ideas on how to find "Mrs" JACKSON's name? Everything I have found (probate/receipts) just says "Mrs" JACKSON. IF I could convince the only living male JACKSON relative (that I know of) to do DNA testing, what would it prove/show? How many generations back would it show?
