From your previous information Oct 2001, you pointed out that Margaret Walton who married James Jacobs 21 Aug. 1817 in Rowan Co., NC was not found in Washington Co., IN where her brothers Isaac and Joseph Walton moved around 1830. Margaret Yost Walton, their widowed mother, lived with them in Washington Co., IN. Margaret Walton Jacobs sister Catherine (Cathy), who married John Biles, moved to Clay Co. (Jackson Co.), TN about the same time. Their children are: William Smith Biles (moved to Texas after 1850), Margaret Peggy Biles (Mrs. Jim Condra), Daniel Biles, Pleasant Biles, and John Condra Biles. I have not found Margaret Walton Jacobs in Tennessee. During the Civil War, Margaret Peggy Biles and husband Jim Condra moved to Orange Co., IN near French Lick. Now that I know that their Walton kin lived in Indiana, perhaps 'the why' they left their home and people in Tennessee. I feel there must be some connection between our Margaret Walton who married James Jacobs 1817 in Rowan Co., NC and the Jacobs with Waltons in his household on the 1850 Rowan County Census.
