John JACKSON and his wife Bethena REAGAN were living in Miami Cty, OH in 1807
when their 7th and last child, William R. was born. He later reported that
his parents were from SC and of English heritage. In 1812, the family moved
to KY and after a short stay returned to Warren Cty, OH and then on to Clinton
Cty, OH.
William R. JACKSON married Delilah LUCAS in OH and their first 6 children were
born there. They settled in Grant Cty, IN between 1840/43 and the information
we have about him is from a Grant County history of 1886. Their children were
Hester b 1829;
Ted [Joel] b 1831;
John M. b 1833, m Margaret BOND;
Rhoda Jane b 1834, m Jesse CRANSTON;
Francis M. b 1837, m Margaret COCHRAN;
Nancy Ann b 1840, m William Shaw JOHNSON;
William H b 1843, d 1857;
Sarah A. b 1846, m George W. FORT;
Martha Ellen b 1850, m Elmer Hyatt TROWBRIDGE.
I'm descended from Nancy Ann and I've located someone descended from Rhoda
Jane and we're working together but cannot get anything further back than what
I have here. Seeking other descendants and general information.
