This was copied from a post-em on a rootsweb chart for Benjamin B. Jackson: "This is my gggrandmother. Her name is Candasier Jane Troxel (sometimes listed as Stronxill or a variation.) She was from Kentucky, married Ben when he was stationed in KY in the Civil War. She was a Cherokee Indian from the KY Troxel family."

An email from the above descendant states that "Candasy Jane Hardwick was daughter of Mary Jane Troxell. Candasy was born in August 1847 and her mother married Samuel Hardwick on August 15, 1851. She is listed on the 1860 Pulaski County, Kentucky census as Candasy dau of Samuel and Mary. Was she listed as a Troxell (Stroxdill) on her marriage certificate? Mary was listed on the 1850 Pulaski Co., KY census living with the family of G. A. Jones. There was no child listed as her daughter. "According to the story, Ben was fighting with Alabama regiment in Kentucky and met Candasie and before the war was over, they had one baby, she was pregnant with another. They came to Alabama in a wagon. Candasier was illegitimate, and her father's last name was Sloan (according to her death certificate). The Troxells were Jews, originally from Asia Minor (or North Africa) who journeyed around Europe, and ended up in Switzerland before the father and two of his sons came to New World via Pennsylvania. The sons came south and intermarried with Indians in North Carolina. They are a well-researched family. Just beware of the Troxell Myth - the Cornblossom and etc, which I understand is nonsense."

She was listed on the 1920 census for Holley, Coffee, Alabama as C. J. Jackson, widow, living with her widowed daughter-in-law, Emma, and John and Emma's children. Emma is indexed as Elmer!

Janis Owens writes: "Candacy is buried at Piney Grove in Geneva County, under tombstone that reads C. J. Jackson, wife of B. D. Jackson. He is assumed to be buried next to her, but his grave isn't marked."
