Tommy, perhaps is just another of those interesting "things" one runs across; however, I am struck by your Jackson query and by my link between Jacksons in Dunns. I am pasting the direct line ancestors of Richard E. Dick Jackson below. I did not have any of the Jackson names you mention in my database; however, note that in the 5th generation there is an Isaac Dunn. Isaac had a brother named Pleasant Dunn and many of Pleasant's descendants moved from MS to Erath County, TX. What do you think? Any possibility of a connection to your bunch? Here is the paste ...... Ancestors of Richard "Dick" E. JACKSON - Jun 2 1998 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- FIRST GENERATION 1. Richard "Dick" E.
