Hello Sherry, There are 2 families that I am looking at. Thomas Jackson, born about 1790, was living in Franklin County Tennessee up to about 1831 and then moved to Lawrence County Arkansas. I have a picture of Thomas's daughter taken about 1904 in Oregon. Several of our family members say she looks like an old Indian woman(not trying to be stereotypical). Rebecca Jackson(listed as half Cherokee) that married a Nathan Williams. Nathan and family were living in Franklin County Tennessee and Rutherford County Tennessee. One source says Rebecca died in Arkansas. I think the best Roll might be Emigration Rolls 1817-1835: Those who filed to emigrate to Arkansas Country. Any help is appreciated. Robert L.
