Sylvia, you're a long way up there! and I don't envy you your weather...
RE your unsoled problem --
All too often people go by the 'high cheekbones' and 'looks like it.' Looks
do not the Indian make. But a time line might prove helpful in solving your
problem . placing all known information in this format will often trigger
some idea on where to look, what needs to be done (census, etc.), or
something else --

1801 Mar 24: Ephram Jackson b. in NC

c. 1821: Ephram md. Elizabeth Black

What is the first census you have them on? Can you pinpoint or guess a NC
county?? If so, then a check of published county histories would be in
order.

??? moves to Texas

??? dates of death

buried in Smithwick Cemetery, Burnet Co TX

"Several Children": You have given one,

?? date born?? Frank Bradford Jackson

& Frank's son, Verne Riley Jackson

b. ?? d. ?? bur in ?? Cemetery, Karnes City TX

Who were the other children?



I checked my copies of Jordan's "Cherokee by Blood" that gives an abstract
of the Applications .. did not find any Ephram Jackson ---



Trevia Wooster Beverly

Houston, Texas
