I was checking out some census data, and noted that in 1900 Daniel A. Jackson b. 1848 who married Matilda was living in a different hh than Matilda, and she lists herself as a widow. Either Matilda is attached to the wrong person, or there is some strange activity going on with the family. Here is what i put into Daniel's notes: ------------------------------------------------ Daniel A. Jackson, age 9, is found living with his parents, Daniel Jackson (da 1815) & Elizabeth 'Betsy' Fulmer(ca 1813) [1860 Edisto Mills area of Edgefield Co, SC] Larry Scott identifies him as older with the following info. - Daniel A. "Dannie" Jackson, Jr., born 10 Aug 1849 in SC; died 23 Mar 1923. This date worked better with the census dates and when I found his cem. listing at Philippi Baptist church, EC, SC. Dates on his death cert. are a little off, but I may have missed the day of death in my transcription. Accumulating Cemsus records raised questions about his marriage??? CENSUS 1870 Edgefield Co.

If Matilda is the wife of Daniel A. Jackson b. 1849, he is listed in the census on the p. 298B, so she would NOT be a widow. I only have 5 children in my info. so far. One Matilda Jackson is buried with Mahlon Jackson in the Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church Cem, Aiken Co, SC just over the Aiken Co. line south of Johnston, Edgefield Co, SC. I am assuming that she is his mother and placed the dates accordingly. It is possible that Daniel married the above Frances after Matilda's death and this is that family..
