His wife's name was Sarah, however. I have lived in Tennessee all of my life and I am not familiar with a Jackson County. David Fletcher Halliburton lived about forty miles north of Jackson, TN -- the city. He died in 1883 and is buried in Wilkes Cemetery near Rutherford, Tennessee. He had seven children. He was my great-great grandfather. His father, William, founded the first Baptist church west of the Tennessee River in 1821. Could this possibly be the one?
