Thanks for the reply! I am not at home, and thus can only vaguely recollect
some of the cemeteries I've walked, but.....
Liberty Methodist (some of my Jacksons are there...married into the Seale
family; married into the Ingram family)
Havana Methodist (I think)...some of my Jacksons are there: married into
the McCrory family [John Scotland McCrory and another McCrory whom I cannot at
this moment remember]
Mt. Hebron cemetery.
I, being an outsider to the area (I live in Houston), am not real familiar
with the various cemetaries, but have walked what seems like thousands in the
Greensboro/Eutaw areas during my several visits to the area. In some cases I
had the assistance of Mrs. Jean Hoggle who lives in that area. Yep, I've
found lots of the JACKSON descendants, but I cannot find JOSEPH JACKSON who died
on March 31 1861. I have been to the Eutaw courthouse and found several
records regarding my Joseph as well as records of Stephen Jackson and a Rueben
Jackson, both of whom are unknown to me...maybe connected, maybe not.
I thank you for your kind offer of assistence....Joseph has just gotta be
somewhere around there! He was an educated man, and records indicate he may
have been a Justice of the Peace for a while. I am inclined to believe that he
was the son of a Joseph Jackson of Clarke County (who died in 1831), and
thus brother to the several JACKSON descendants of that area.
Oh, and by the way....these JACKSON folks were Caucasian, and according to
Snedecor's Directory Joseph lived in the area in 1819.
You asked of his wife's name. He had 2 wives, the first meeting with death
in 1830-31. Her name was Delilah Cooper. His second wife's name was Sarah
Cannon Belton Jackson, and she moved to Texas in 1868 or so with 4 of her
remaining children (one was killed in the War Between the States).
Robert Jackson
