Hi Joy, Thanks for answering my e-mail. I really feel there is a connection here. I hope we can help eachother. I will transcribe for you a couple of pages from ISAAC BUCK'S Account Book from his store; the following is for 1836 - July at Lagrange (I am not familiar with Lagrange, maybe you have heard of it). July 6 James Jackson Debtor 1 set of White plates (?) 37 cents July 6 Abigail Cox Debtor 6 yards of prints at 1/6 yd 1.50 Magaret Jackson Debtor 1 pair of women's Leather ???? 1.50 July 9 John Jackson Jnr Debtor 5 lb of Coffy at 20 cts 1.00 5 lb of Sugar at 20 cts 1.00 to ballance on settlement .10 $ 2.10 Sanjacinto - page 33 - 28 Sept 1836 Margaret Jackson Dr. to Ballance on Come 1.40 1 stran of Beeds 64 .64 cents $2.04 John Jackson Snr. Dr. 5 lbs of Coffee at 20c $1.00 5 lbs Sugar 1.00 2 yds Calico 45c .90 Cr. By Sang & Rags .31 1/4 $2.60 1/2 Abigail Cox Dr. 3 plates at 3/c set .25 1 Brass Tuck Comb 12 1/2 John Jackson Snr. Again $ 371/2 I tried to be as true to the spelling as I found it on the microfilm. This particular document is a treasure trove of early Putnam, White, Smith, make that Upper Cumberland names. It is listed under Jackson Co, TN in the microfilm section of the Tennessee State Library and Archives. I hope this interests everyone. Thanks for your help.
