Lucretia Slusher, daughter of John Slusher and Mary Woolum, was 1st married to Jackson Smith and can be seen at 33 in the 1860 census for Harlan County, Kentucky, with her husband Jackson Smith, 40, and 7 young children. Living next door are her parents, younger brother John, 17, and paternal grandparents, Phillip Slusher, 83 and Judith Howard Slusher, 76.
But after this census, the Jackson Smith household is not in evidence. Family history has it that Jackson died and she remarried (to a Mr. Gambrell?).
What I'm interested in trying to find out is whether anyone knows HOW Jackson Smith died.
There is a Jackson Smith who served in the 7th Kentucky Infantry of the Union Army and died at Barbourville, KY, on March 18, 1862. I suspect they are the same. I know that Lucretia's future son-in-law Joshua Taylor, who married Mary Smith, was in the Union army and it appears that most of the family was pro-Union despite mostly Southern roots.
Can anyone offer some insight about what happened to this family in the 1860s?
