Person:James Jackson (317)

James Jr. is listed as a member of the Three Forks Baptist Church when it was organized in 1799. James Jr. is on the 1800 Census for the newly formed Ashe Co., NC.

By 1810 the family was in Woodford, Kentucky.

The following was copied from ancestry.com Indiana/Counties/Tipton msg board posted by Linda Hancock in Jan 2006: "Newton and Carter Jackson's parents, James and Martha Chambers Jackson, were natives of North Carolina, but they were so opposed to slavery that they had moved from Kentucky to Wayne County in 1812 when the Twelve-Mile Purchase came on the market. There they and the Robert Leavell family were neighbors; children of both families were among Tipton County's first land owners.' and it goes on. They both married Leavell sisters."

1820 Census: Wayne Co., Indiana, brothers Ebenezer and Daniel living next door to one another.

James was a surviving son mentioned in his father's 1826 Will: " I also give to my son James Jackson Two Dollars, having had his part of estate."

1830 Census: Wayne Co., Indiana, James was between 50 and 60 years old.

Added by JMcAnally5258 on 19 Aug 2008 The information from the "History of Wayne County Indiana" would seem to be conclusive proof that James Jackson died in Marion Co., Indiana but there is a James Jackson age range 50-60 on the Washington Twp., Wayne County Indiana 1840 census. Even more disturbing is that there are Beeson surname families living as near neighbors on this census. So, it must be considered as a conjecture that our James died in Marion Co., in 1840.
