The following Note provided by Bob Mitchell: "Roxana Virginia Hollinger Jackson was of mixed heritage and probably would be considered to be a "Quadroon." Mobile, Alabama was a melting pot for many different cultures and races as well as religious creeds. She was no doubt a beautiful woman. Roxanna is shown as O.V. Jackson on the 1870 Census. She is referred to in all of Richard Jackson's letters to his mother and brother as Jenny. Roxana indicates on the 1880 Census records that her mother was born in South Carolina. Roxana's nephew, Russell Ellison, age 23, is living with her and her family in 1880 Mobile, Alabama. Russell lists his occupation as a Pilot."

Note by Janie Kimble: Roxana was 10 in the 1850 census and 21 in the 1860 census; her est birth date abt 1840. The 1900 census gives her birth date as of Mar 1839. She was indexed in the 1900 census as R. B. Jackson, and said her father was from France & mother from South Carolina. It appears that neither of those locations are correct. Though her father was of French descent, he was born in Alabama per his baptismal records there. See his Notes. Those Notes also say "Tabitha Moore of Claiborne, Monroe Co., Alabama". So whether Roxanna's mother was born in South Carolina or Alabama, I don't know for sure.
