Then Clay Jackson age 20 and Martha age 22 - who were they? They weren't in the family 10 years earlier - were they stepchildren and should have been listed as Sears?

1870, Francis W. Jackson's wife is now Nancy. A Drucilla Jackson age 27 is living there - in 1850 the child Nancy was listed as Nancy D. - she would be about this age, has she adopted her middle name to avoid confusion? Robert, Mary, Luther and Frank are all there. The oldest child John gone from home or deceased. Also missing is Eliza who be age 15 - she could be married or, more likely, she has died.

In 1880, Nancy is still with Frank. Robert S. is now 33, but still living at home. So is Mary, Luther, and Frank W. Drucilla is still there but she is now Drucilla O'Neal, age 37, with her children Franklin [age 6] & John [age 4] O'Neal.
