Research Notes
A lot of trees at other sites have her lnab as Jackson due to name in marriage record for her daughter but the daughter’s spouse lnab is Jackson.
In two other children’s records, her lnab is listed as Johnson. I have put Jackson in the other last name field to reduce the chance of a duplicate profile from being created.
