My G grandmother was Henrietta (WOODALL) JACKSON She was the daughter of Sarah Mae (KESSINGER) b. about 1836 KY. and William C. Woodall b.1839 TN. I have his parents listed as James b. 1823 and Nancy M. b. 1823. The Native American ancestor has always intrigued us, but we've never found any information. My grandfather wouldn't talk about it. His mother died when I was a child and I don't think I ever met her. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
