Searching for information on Milton JACKSON's father (known only as the
"Elder" JACKSON in any family stories so far).

"Elder" JACKSON and his first wife were born in Maryland. They were in
Ohio in 1804 for the birth of Milton. The family then moved to Kentucky in
1806 and stayed there until 1815. They moved to Carter Township, Spencer
Co., Indiana in 1815. His wife died in 1818 of "milk sickness." "Elder"
JACKSON married three more times and was the father of a total of fifty
(50) children. He eventually moved to Cass County Illinois, and died there
about 1846. Some of his children moved with him and set up households in
the same county, but I can't make any connections.

If anyone has a JACKSON line from Spencer or Perry Counties, Indiana or
Cass County Illinois, please contact me to see if we can connect families.
