Documenting the Details

This Week in the Family History: November 15–21

Feature

Charlotte T. Jackson (*2nd Great-grandmother, McCauley)

202 Years Ago: Charlotte T. Jackson’s birth date on her headstone is 15 November 1818. Her birth date recorded in her grandson William Larkin Lanier’s Bible is 3 November 1818.

I don’t know which date, if either, is correct. I’ve recorded both in my information about Charlotte, but I use the headstone date as the “primary” fact. Entries covering 1813 through 1902 in her grandson’s Bible were written in the same hand, likely at the same time. That doesn’t mean the Bible entry is wrong, but that doesn’t give it any more credibility than the headstone.

Charlotte’s parents were Samuel W. Jackson and Lavinia Malone and she was born in Jasper County, Georgia.
