My husband descends from 2 JACKSON lines, which I suspect are related. 1 Thomas JACKSON 2 Susannah JACKSON b: ca 1778 d: Bet 1818-1825 [Guessing her dates based on the age of her first child, then the birth of her last and the birth of the first child of Jacob's 2nd marriage.) --- +Jacob CROUT b: Aug 04, 1774 d: Nov 1853 Father: Johannes (CROUT, Kraut or) Kraud, Sr Randy descends from their daughter, Mary, who m. David FIKES. This is another early JACKSON from who my husband also descends. 1 John JACKSON d: Bef. 1849 2 Elizabeth JACKSON b: 1798 d: Aft. 1849 --- +John Wendel SHEALY b: 1796 Little Mountain, Newberry, SC d: Aft. 1849 Father: John Adam SHEALY, Sr. Mother: Anna Mary SWITTENBERG This leads to Randy's gg g'ma Ella Jane "Janie" SHEALY and is based on the following land transaction: Book O Page 267; Lexington County, SC.
