• Notes

  From Bob Mitchell: "The records below indicate that John Jackson's estate was settled in the courts of Union County, NC. Union County was formed in 1842 from parts of Anson County and Mecklenburg County, the first census was 1850. It is possible that John Jackson died in Tennessee and still had real property in Union County, NC. It is also feasible that he could have died years earlier than the request for Power of Attorney was made, probably as early as 1839 as Rebecca is in Perry County, Tennessee with the children in 1840 as Head of Family. "Deed Book 13, Page 139, dtd 3 Dec 1849 "William H. Bennett & wife to Griffin Avitt, Power of Atty--W.H. & wife, Temperance, formerly Temperance Jackson of Co. of Decatur, State of TN to receive for us a sum of money in the hands of Darling Rushing, guardian of said Temperance Jackson $200 more or less her portion in the estate of John Jackson deceased late of Union County, NC. Attest: William G.Rushing/John Garrett." This record proves Temperance was a daughter of John Jackson and therefore John Jackson was the husband of Rebecca Rushing. Temperance and her husband William H. Bennett were living in Decaturville, Decatur Co., Tennessee in 1850. "No records of any of the other children making claim on the John Jackson estate have been found. According to family oral history, through the memories of later descendants, John and Rebecca had 3 sons and two daughters. We have been able to trace all but Stephen. According to those memories, Stephen was born in the 1820's in North Carolina or South Carolina. John Jackson's date of death has not been established but according to the records we have he probably died before Dec 1849 as that is when his daughter, Temperance, sought the $200.00 due her from his estate. The youngest child, James Holden, was born on 1 May 1837. If this is true and Rebecca had a normal pregnancy of 9 months John Jackson was alive in August of 1836. He could have died between Aug 1836 and Dec 1849. The children of John Jackson and Rebecca Rushing are proven by the document mentioned above in conjunction with oral history and census records of North Carolina and Tennessee. Other records and documentation are still being sought. "John Jackson has been referred to as John Jackson, Jr., but that does not necessarily mean that his father was John Jackson, Sr. It was common to refer to two men of the same name as Senior and Junior, even though they may not be related. It was a way of distinguishing between the two men. Movement between Anson, Chesterfield and Union Counties was not unusual as they all joined and more than likely this John Jackson lived on or near the border line of the counties." The connection of the John Jackson (who married Rebecca Rushing) to Stephen Jackson has finally been confirmed by DNA because a descendant of Stephen and Nancy Cook's son William has shown to be a 2nd to 4th cousin to a descendant of Stephen Jackson's daughter Elizabeth Jackson Crawford. From Bob Mitchell: 1804 Laws of North Carolina, Chapter CXXVL. "An act to alter names of the persons therein mention, and to legitamate them. Be enacted by the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same. That the names of William Joyner, Martha Joyner, Sally Joyner, Joseph Joyner, Mary Joyner and Geraldus Joyner, illegitimate children of Joseph Batts and Elizabeth Joyner, of Edgecomb County, be altered and changed to those of William Batts, Martha Batts, Elizabeth Batts, Sally Batts, Joseph Batts, Mary Batts and Geraldus Batts:...And the names of John Kindrick, Polly Kindrick, Betsey Kindrick and Salley Kindrick, natural born children of Stephen Jackson, of Anson County, be altered to the names of John Jackson, Polly Jackson, Betsey Jackson and Salley Jackson..." John Hendrick, son of Nancy Ann Hendrick, was one of four of her children who were claimed as his own by Stephen Jackson. By act of the NC Legislature the surname of the children was changed to Jackson. Because Nancy's children were legally acknowledged by Stephen, and their names changed to Jackson, we are keeping them in this Jackson data base. "Book 45 page 20: 1810 Dec 29, Stephen Jackson (and Ann Kendrick his wife) to John Jackson (their son) a Negro boy named Simon. 1810 Dec 29, Anson Co., North Carolina Deed Book O, pg 148 Stephen Jackson to John Jackson-for love and affection I have for my son John-250 acres under the conditions it is to remain in the possession of Stephen Jackson and Ann Hendrick during their natural lives. 1817 Oct 16 John Jackson to Stephen Jackson and Nancy Hendrick, 450 acres on Talton and Cedar Creek branches of Thompson Creek 1819 September Stephen Jackson and Nancy Kindrick , Division of Land: 200 acres to Stephen and 221.5 to Nancy in Anson Co. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Prior to 2009, it was thought that this John Kendrick Jackson was the same John Jackson who married Rebecca Rushing. But this was conjecture based on circumstances and location but no documentation. So the connection of John Kendrick Jackson to his father, Stephen Jackson, was removed as of Feb 14, 2009. But now in 2019, we finally have recent DNA proof that the John Jackson who married Rebecca Rushing is indeed John Kendrick Jackson, the son of Stephen Jackson.
