Janie: According to the Burch Family Book by W. Bernette Burch, "They had 17 children." On page 5 is a listing of the children of Joseph and Lizzie Johnson Jackson which includes a John Burch who married Molly Johnson and went to Mississippi. Thomas Stanley's rootsweb chart says that this is John Sebrey Burch who was born in Nov. 1849. But I do not find John Sebrey listed on the 1860 census. Instead, there is the above Ina, female, born abt 1849. I did find a John S. Burch and Mollie in the 1870 census in Sunflower County, Mississippi. They had been married in Dec, 1869 and Mollie was from Mississippi.

But without a 1860 census record for John tying him to Joseph, I cannot say for sure that this John S. is Joseph's child. Instead, when I include the daughter, Ina, that completes a list of 17 children and there is no John in that list. I have not found any other record of Ina except in this 1860 census and it clearly says she was a female. It is possible the Burch book was in error saying there were 17 children. It does say John was a son and it leaves out Ina. I will include John as a son, using info found on a chart at rootsweb as further proof that Joseph Jackson had a child John who was probably named for an uncle with the same name; John Sebrey Burch. It seems unlikely that Ina (female) could be John on the 1860 census, so I am recording 18 children, but would like to have further documentation.
