So, if your Thomas Jackson was born in 1851, he was too young for service. Actually, I have no Thomas Jackson's in my line. I am trying to locate descendants of the Third OVC as we have an association that is new and we want to get the word out to them. Thank you for you interest. I hope that you can find out more about your Thomas Jackson. Thank you. Janett
