SC . Winney, 55, b. TN . Elizabeth, 12, b. KY * * . Sarah, 24, b. KY . Anderson, 10, b. KY On Page 10 of the transcribed 1850, there is a 49 year old Elizabeth MESSER, b. NC, a widow and not the likely candidate. On page 11, there is a 45 year old Eliza MESSER (married name) mar. to Zion MESSER and again not a likely candidate. On the Marriage record itself, it says: March 1, 1853 JACKSON, William to Elizabeth MESSER Mar. by: William HOPPER; at: house of Moses MESSER Wit: Edward MESSER and James JACKSON Without researching any further to see if Moses MESSER's Elizabeth can be found later on, it would appear that the Elizabeth is the one listed in the Moses MESSER household. I am curious how you know that she died on Feb. 16, 1855?? Is this your William JACKSON on the 1860? Dwelling 563 JACKSON, William, 35, b. KY* * . Francis, 26, b. KY . Didana, 5, KY MESSER, Elizabeth, 11, b. KY BROWN, Daugherty, 3, b. KY Was this him on the 1850? Dwelling 64-66 KEITH, John, 22, farmer, b. NC . Margaret, 20, KY JACKSON, Greenberry, 11, KY KEITH, Elizabeth, 5 mo's, KY JACKSON, William, 21, farmer, b. KY * * * NOTE: All living next to the combined family of Moses HUBBARD and his wife, Louisa, previously married to a JACKSON and his children from his lst marriage. Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA
