Person:Thomas Smithson-Jackson (1)

From Darrell Jackson: "His mother took her maiden name of Jackson back after her husband died*. Apparently so did at least one of her children, i.e. Thomas Daniel Jackson. He served as Constable in the 4th district of Tennessee (Campbell Co). He states in his letter to W. R. Jackson (his cousin) in Missouri that his Grandfather (David Jackson born 1780?) had 10 or 16 children (the handwritten number could be read either way). Current evidence would indicate that 10 children would be the correct number of children. Thomas D. Jackson would have been about 60 years old when he wrote this letter."

• Basha Jackson sold property in Campbell County as of 27 Jan 1896 under her name as Basha Jackson; so she had taken her maiden name back by then.
