      Searching for Jacksons

      0 comments

      Curious to know if anyone out there has any information on a Jackson family in Florence, Ala. in 1837. My great-great-grandmother Vashti (or possibly Vashty) Jackson was born there in 1837. I have not seen any census records from this area and do not have access to any birth records from that time. I know nothing about her parents. I know she had at least two sisters, but possibly more siblings. Not sure how long they lived in Florence. All three moved to Nashville, Tenn. at some point and Vashti eventually moved to Decatur, Ill. where she died in 1916.

      I would be thrilled if anyone could provide any additional information.

      Thanks,

      Paul

        Samuel Vaughn Cemetery

        Gathering information on the history of grave sites for Samuel Vaughn, Pleasant Vaughn, and a young child, Annie Houston. Also, there is supposed to be a 9 yr. old boy who is buried on this land as well who was killed in a hunting accident. Sadly, we do not know a name. Dates are in the 1800's. Oakland area.

        FRANCIS DURRETT/ANNIS MASTERSON

        Looking for information on early General Assembly member and Justice of the Peace FRANCIS DURRETT who purchased land in Lauderdale County (Florence) in 1825 and 1833. He served in the General Assembly in two terms, 1820-21 and 1827-30. He was killed in line of duty as JP in 1837. Wife was Ann Masterson whose brother Gutherage Masterson was also a land owner in Lauderdale County. It is unknown why Francis was killed/where buried. I would love to honor him somehow for his years of service if we could locate his burial site or a picture of him, more info on his General Assembly service, etc. After his death, his wife and children migrated to Yalobusha County, MS where one son George already lived. Francis was of French Huguenot lineage and it is told in the family that Annis carried the old French Coat of Arms wrapped in a blanket in her lap for the whole wagon ride to MS....thanks for any help in locating more info on this early Lauderdale Co resident.
