Joanne hope this will tie to your Samuel. (letter cont'd) The first child Samuel born 1643 in census, was never mentioned again in any of the 3 books. My guess would be that he was the first to come south and they lost him. And I would also guess he was in the Spartanbury Co, SC area as we do have a Samuel in Spartanbury, SC who was a land surveyor as early as 1755. He made many deeds as required by law at that itme. He made them for $25,00 as long as he did not have to go over 25 miles from home. Andrew Jackson, Sr father of Pres. Andrew Jackson brought 6 or 8 other Jackson families with him when he came to the Waxhaw area. I am still studying this and I can not prove it is right bit I hope to sometime this year. Sincerely, PF Jackson Pearl had Jackson family who came on down to Coffee Co, Al. I sure hope this helps someone. Jeanette
