Hi Stella....read your latest message and glad to see you are hanging in there. I am not having much luck in tracing my John Jackson either. Our given names, most are rather common, are interesting. I noted your reference to a Margaret....the first son of my John Jackson....John Sanford Martin, born in l844 named his first child Margaret or Mary Margaret...born in l867 in Randolph Co Ala. Curious?? John Kulbeth
