HENRY AND POLLY MIGRATED TO GEORGIA WHERE RUEBEN A JACKSON WAS BORN IN 1816. JACKSON FAMILY FINALLY SETTLED IN TEXAS. I LIVE IN TEXAS AND WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION REGARDING MY ANCESTORS. I believe Isom Jackson was Henry's brother. Beaufort County is what I was told. My grandmother was related to Henry's side. My grandfather was related through a William and Lydia Starr from North Carolina. William born about 1786 and died in 1845 in Hardin County, Tn. His wife and children came on to Texas after he died. I believe his wife was Lydia born about 1800. I was looking over some Jackson paperwork and found a letter from a James Jackson who said his great great grandfather "Isom" was born 1804 in Beaufort County. Henry was born in 1786. It appears the Jackson, Starrs, Clarks and maybe Hendersons migrated together. I am researching that. Isom's wife was Betty or Elizabeth was born around 1809 in NC. I wonder if Henry was Isom's uncle. Do you have information on both there in Beaufort and Hyde Counties? I haven't heard anything of the earlier Jacksons.
