I am trying to trace Jesse Jackson who is listed as a member of Snider's Batallion, Missouri Cavalry, Confederate. A man by that name was married to my gr grandmother, Eliza Ann Starnes Jackson Patton. He died early in the Civil War in Arkansas, possibly from an illness. Little is known of him except for his name which was listed in her obituary. Her family was living in Van Buren Co. Arkansas but she moved to Callaway Co., MO in the 1860's. I believe that Jesse was from that area and she moved to be with his family possibly after his death. She later married my gr grandfather from Callaway Co. and returned to Arkansas. Really have little direction, Jesse could have enlisted in Arkansas but would like to know how to locate additional information about Snider's Batallion. I'll just track one clue down at a time. Appreciate all the information contained at this site. Mollie in Missouri
