Cemetery lookup or ?
Anyone who may live in the Jackson Co. area or who can do lookups, please keep in mind that I am trying to locate any info, death info, or burial place for my grt grandparents who died there in 1880.The name was SLAUGHTER.Her name was Minerva Jane but maybe went by Jane.He was either called Jake or David.He was killed prior to Jane's death in about 7-8 of 1880.They also lost a child named Charles about 2 yrs old at about the same time as Jane died.
Anyone with access to the mortality schedule for Jackson County AL for the yr 1880 I would be most appreciative for that info.
It is said that Mr. Slaughter was killed by a black man while he was clearing a field there.It is said that the man hit my grt grandfather in the head with an ax.If this is true, it seems like it would have been newsworthy and would be in some newspaper for that area especially, in those years.I do not know what Mr. Slaughter's given name was for sure, as all I have ever heard is Jake and David.
There surely would be some record of these deaths for these three people somewhere in Jackson Co., AL.Perhaps someone has seen a grave for any or all of them when they were visiting the cemeteries there. Or perhaps someone has looked at old newspapers for that area while visiting the libraries there.Any help will be very much appreciated.
