Still searching for information on Milton JACKSON's elusive father
referred to as "Elder" JACKSON.
"Elder" JACKSON and his first wife were born in Maryland. They were in
Ohio in 1804 for the birth of Milton. The family then moved to Kentucky
in 1806 (unknown county) and stayed there until 1815. They moved to
Carter Township, Spencer Co., Indiana in 1815. His wife (Milton's
mother) died in 1818 of "milk sickness." "Elder" JACKSON married a
total of four times and was the father of fifty (yes, 50) children. He
eventually moved to Cass County, Illinois, and died about 1846. Unable
to pick him up on any census records, land purchases, pension records,
etc. Anxious to break through this 30 year "brick wall."
Milton B. JACKSON (b 04 Aug 1804) married 17 Dec 1829 Jane SUMNER (b 26
Jan 1811) the daughter of Thomas SUMNER and Nancy GEARE. Milton founded
the town of Fulda, Spencer, IN.
