Facts and Events
Court Order Bk2 p113 8th Mar 1852 John R. Bradley appointed guardian of Alice Lawrence, Bradley Lawrence and Joseph Lawrence, infant orphans of Henry Lawrence deceased with Flourney Willis and Willis Jackson his securities. 1850 Census Dist 2, Trimble Co., Kentucky Willis Jackson 45 M farmer 4050 KY 1805 Polly Jackson 35 F KY 1815 William Jackson 17 M KY 1833 James Jackson 15 M Indiana 1835 Nancy Jackson 12 F IN 1838 Eliza Jackson 10 F IN 1840 So in the 1840 census we would expect to find them in Indiana and see: Willis 35 1 male between 30-40 William 7 1 male between 5-10 James 5 another male between 5-10 so total of 2 males between 5-10 or possibly 1 under 5 Polly 25 1 female between 20-30 Nancy 2 1 female under 5 maybe Eliza is on there; maybe not, so could be 2 females under 5 1840 Census Saluda, Jefferson Co., Indiana This is Willis! males 1-1-0-0-0-1 females 2-0-0-0-1 He is between 30-40 with 2 young sons; wife 20-30 2 young females Tom Jackson said Willis and Polly were married in Saluda in 1831. It is interesting that though Willis and Polly were born in KY, they were in Indiana for at least 15 years where their three children were born and then came back to KY. The area of Trimble Co is on the Ohio River and Indiana is just across the river. Tom said folks used the river as a highway with heavy boat traffic not only up and down the river, but back and forth from Kentucky to Indiana. 1860 Census, Trimble Co., Kentucky (Post Office Abbottsford) Willis Jackson 55 M farmer 4500 2500 KY Mary Jackson 44 F illegible William Jackson age illegible M farmer ditto James Jackson 24 M farmer ditto James Townsend 22 M farmer ditto Benj Townsend 9 M no occup ditto note also Cintha Townsend, 18 is living with Willis' parents in 1860 Samuel P. Strother 27 M farmer ditto Nancy Strother 22 F Ia (enumerator's abreviation of Indiana) Willis' dau Nancy! Jack Strother 10/12 M KY Eliza had died of consumption age 17, single. It looks to me like the Townsends are siblings. Phil said they were niece and nephews of Willis' wife, Mary McCormick, whose sister had died. 1870 Census, Bedford, Trimble, Co., Kentucky Jackson, Willis 65 M W farmer 4000 1000 KY Jackson Mary 55 F W housekeeping KY Jackson, Edward 7 M W KY Jackson, William 4 M W KY Jackson, Cloudyly 2 M W KY (Claudie?) McCoy, Mary A. 18 F W KY Jackson, William 37 M W farm hand 500 KY Jackson, Nancy 86 F W VA perhaps Willis's mother and Charles' wife. Look for her burial in Bedford. (Edwin and William are grandchildren of Willis and Mary; children of Wm R. Jackson and Teresa McClennan. Teresa died about 1868 which could be the reason the children were with their grandparents in 1870. Next hh is their dau Nancy and her husband Samuel Strother! References
