Query: Thomas Johnson, Morgan County
I am trying to trace the parents of
my GGGrandfather Thomas Johnson b8 May 1849 in Morgan County Indiana (according
to his death certificate.) His parents are listed as George E Johnson
(listed on various census as being born in Indiana, Virginia and Kentucky) and
his mother is listed as Amanda, born in Indiana. He possibly had a
brother Charles (I have a picture of the two of them.)
I can't find them on census,
marriage licenses, and just don't know where else to look. Amanda
supposedly lived 102 years, so I even tried to guestimate dates
and look for graves. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Query: Pamela Jean Jones, Elkhart County
Looking for Pamela Jean Jones, born February 7, 1950. She was adopted in the 1950’s-early 60’s Her father's name was Preston Jones. I'm not sure,
but Elkhart maybe for the county/city.
All I know is she also had a brother Preston and a sister Patricia, who were adopted by a different family. Pamela
might have had a disability with her legs. Thanks.

Query: Jesse/William Benjamin Jackson, Indiana
Need some advice on where to look
for one document I need. Am currently trying to enter the Belvidere DAR with a
patriot through the Indiana Jackson line. My line goes: Kim Bednar b. 1960 >
father, John William Stewart b. 1940 - d. 1990 > Vergil Vern Stewart b. 1910
- d. 1978 > Maggie May Jackson Stewart b. 1881 - d. 1963 > Josephus
Jackson b. 1847 - 1918 > William Benjamin Jackson b. 1816 - d. 1872 >
Jesse Jackson b. 1782 - d. 1848 & Mary "Polly" Williams Jackson
b. 1788 - 1840 > Thomas Swearingen Williams b. 1764 - 1814 > ELISHA
WILLIAMS b. 1735 - 1812.
The document I need to find is one
to prove the father/son connection between Jesse Jackson (1782 - 1848) and his
son, William Benjamin Jackson (1816 - 1872). Have looked for a will by Jesse
Jackson and have not found it yet.
Do you know of any Jackson family
specialists in genealogy I could consult? Or do you have any advice on how to
find a connection? The Jackson family may have been Quakers at one point, but
my line does not appear to be in the records as of that point in time. William
B. was born in Miami County, Ohio before they kept records. So I was hoping for
any document that would link father and son.
Thank you for your taking time to
look at my request.
