| James Monroe JACKSON
Susan STROUP Jane L. MATHEWS |
| WARNING: I have many misgivings about this family group sheet. It not only may be that two James JACKSONs are being confused, but that two Susan STROUPs are being confused. |
| Husband: James Monroe JACKSON
Birth (from censuses): 1831-35, TN {1850: 18, TN; 1860: 25, TN; 1870: 36, TN} Birth (from tombstone): 31 Aug 1830 Death (from tombstone): 25 May 1876 Disposition: buried DeSoto, Jefferson Co., MO Occupation: farmer Father: Benjamin JACKSON Mother: Ms. __?__ Of the sources for the birthdate, the tombstone is the least likely to be accurate; and given that James has a brother born on 9 Aug 1830, that's another reason to doubt the tombstone. |
| Marriage-1: 7 Oct 1852, Jefferson Co., MO — ended in divorce?/annulment? |
| Wife-1: Susan STROUP
Birth: 1834/5, Joachim Twp., Jefferson Co., MO Death: aft. 1870 Occupation: homemaker Father: John STROUP Mother: Elizabeth FLEMING In the 1860 census, Susan is living with her widowed father, John STROUP; and, in the 1870 census, she is living with three of her unmarried siblings. In both censuses, she is enumerated as Susan STROUP and has no children. I would take James's wife to be a different Susan STROUP, but their marriage license is said to name her father as John STROUP, and the only Susan STROUP in the 1850 census of Jefferson County is the 15-yr-old daughter of John & Elizabeth (FLEMING) STROUP. Was Susan possibly infertile making that the basis for an annulment? |
