I hadn't realized, until I got lost in a pile of "John Jacksons" how unfortunate it was to have landed such a common name for this little project...<br /><br />Thank you for sharing the link, Patrick. I'll be visiting this file again soon and posting a few observations.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-60085409677288905572015-07-22T23:37:15.704-07:002015-07-22T23:37:15.704-07:00Good question.

For William Ijams, it was the Revolutionary War...although the more I think about it, the more I'm inclined to look him up in the 1812 records, just in case.<br /><br />As for the other--Lyman Jackson--it was his <i>son</i> who fought in the War of 1812, while Lyman (the dad) was the Revolutionary War Patriot.<br /><br />Of course, it's the Revolutionary War service that qualifies for the DAR membership. But in the process, I have to link each generation to the preceding one. These early generations are turning out to be a <b>bear</b> to document, so I'm grasping at other (military) straws.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-2492888340196792232015-07-22T23:34:00.457-07:002015-07-22T23:34:00.457-07:00Ah, that is what I just found out :(

In this case, it was a widow who had been married before, so all the marriage details were preserved...even though I believe they were from a burned county originally.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-25955587821761206662015-07-22T21:01:52.990-07:002015-07-22T21:01:52.990-07:00Love those sketches, I hope you have good luck bac...Love those sketches, I hope you have good luck backing this all up! :)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-34979538516432950032015-07-22T14:55:00.576-07:002015-07-22T14:55:00.576-07:00This is an interesting war record.
