Eubank >> Hi Craig and list, With the given name of Waddy, it would seem that this group of Jacksons could have some connection to the Waddy family of Goochland County, Va. If anyone has any possible data on this connection, I would like to know, as I have an interest in the Waddy family. I always like to check out the peripherals to add depth to my family research. One never knows what will turn up when you broaden your viewpoint. Thanks and best regards, John Fox Winston Salem, NC
