Sorry, Edmund's father was born in NC (not VA) according to the 1880 census. -----Original Message----- From: jj [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, July 08, 2007 9:39 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: RE: [TNDAVIDS] Edmund Jackson, b. 1830 TN It wasn't too difficult to follow Edmund Jackson back but the trail becomes more difficult before 1850. He was born abt. 1830 in Tennessee and his mother's name was Sarah Elizabeth and she was born in VA about 1805. His father was born in VA. Of course all this info is gleaned from the censuses and the presumption is that they contain accurate information which is not always the case. Here is what I've found: 1880 census, District 7, Henry Co. TN Ed Jackson, 50, Undertaker, TN NC VA Sarah E. Jackson, 47, wife, has consumption, NC NC NC Georgia A., 23, dau.
