KY . .Robert, grandson, 15, b. KY * * * . .Bertha, grandau, 2, b. KY I don't know who the parents are of Robert JACKSON but most likely it was one of his female children with Nancy LEWIS JACKSON. The fact he remains with his grandparents "may" mean that his mother died; however, I have no knowledge one way or the other. Sometimes if you are fortunate, a death certificate will finally reveal who the parents actually were. Also, his marriage record "may" include the parent/s names. Another more costly source is to obtain his Social Security Applic. which will contain his known parents. I can send you the file I have which is simply a working file if you would like. I am not a direct descendent but am connected to this family. I did not see their marriage in Clay Co., KY nor did I see it in Bell Co. I will look for it in Knox Co. Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA
