African American Jacksons in Mississippi
I am trying to determine the birth date and parents of Henry Jackson b c1848 in either MS, TN or KY as a slave.Henry arrived in Leon Co.TX in 1866 with Christian Volz (Caucasian), who brought at least three freed slaves with him. Henry's name was changed to Jackson Henry at that time.His grandson always said he was born in TN and was living in Jackson, MS when he joined Mr. Volz on the trip to TX.I haven't located any slave rolls that can help me.
