Frustrating, though. I've learned never to trust only one piece of evidence--gotta have two or three before I'll settle down and be convinced about it. Even headstones can get it wrong!<br /><br />Too bad about having to do that work around, Cathy. Glad you got through!

LOL good thing I copied and saved.<br /><br />I am with you sister in digging LOL. Today I found the death certificate and it has my Carter as being born in Wake County. Uggg not anywhere near where he or his parents lived. Yet his draft card says Forsyth County. I know enough to pull your hair out right!?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15360102208185402951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-78137508748271602632012-12-01T13:58:30.563-08:002012-12-01T13:58:30.563-08:00Thanks for taking a look at that marriage informat...Thanks for taking a look at that marriage information. I don't doubt that John Jackson may have been in Bellefontaine--although I'll check that listing for Logan County, too, which is a good point--but I really have qualms about accepting that the marriage took place in Missouri. Yet, as I'll post in a few days, the Missouri connection may be traceable owing to his military service. One way or another, we'll find a way to figure this out.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-46069879008140721182012-12-01T07:27:06.263-08:002012-12-01T07:27:06.263-08:00I did a quick search for John Jackson marrying 181...I did a quick search for John Jackson marrying 1816 with a 2 year spread in Belefontaine, St Louis, MO, and didn't get any good results. I put Bellefontaine in my genealogy software's gazateer, to find what county it was in in MO, and noticed that there is also a Bellefontaine in Logan county, OH. Perhaps the biographer got the 2 Bellefontaine's confussed. When I read that paragraph, I thought the 1825 death date was for Sarah, but it is something else to check out, because it isn't 100% clear.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06313679144556957397noreply@blogger.com
