Connie, I'm a descendant of Nancy JACKSON & Isaac Lason MARTIN. Not sure I can attend the reunion or not. I'm scheduled to be at a couple other (RAGAN) reunions in August. I would like to know more about the ancestory of George W. JACKSON though. I'm not sure we are speaking about the same couple. My Isaan MARTIN was b. ca 1809 in TN.
