Hi, Leona. It's certainly possible. But there are many other Jackson families in that area, too. What made you pick this one? In 1880 this family is living in Loudoun Co. Broad Run District. Pet(t)er and Harriett have: Susan V., age 2 Mary M., age 4 mos. In 1900 they are still in the same area, with more children: Maggie, age 20 John, 18 Virginia, 17 Eva, 14 No Oscar. However, (also 1900) there's an Oscar Jackson (no age) shown as a boarder in Wetzel Co WV as a RR worker. If he was 16 by then, this could be him. A 14 yr-old Oscar is in DC in prison, and a 13 yr-old is in Harrisburg, Rockingham Co living with mother Sarah Bradley, age 63. Do you have any sibling information for Oscar? -Nancy -----Original Message----- From: Jackson, Leona (DelDOT) [mailto:LJackson@mail.dot.state.de.us] Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2004 11:57 AM To: VAFAUQUI-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [VAFAUQUI] Jackson//Thornton Family Hi List, I don't know if I put this out before, but it looked "kinda interesting": Jackson, Peter State: VA Thornton, Harriet State: VA County: Fauquier County: Fauquier Location: Scott Township Location: Scott Township Sex: male Sex: Female Age in 1870: 28 Age in 1870: 22 Calculated birthdate: 1841-1842 Calculated birthdate: 1847-1848 Birthplace: VA Birthplace: VA National Archives series number: M593 National Archives series number: M593 National Archivess microfilm number: 1645 National Archives microfilm number: 1645 Microfilm page number: 630 Microfilm page number: 628 Race: Black Race: Black Wonder if this could be my grandfather's [Oscar Jackson] parents?
