You're right, Jim. I turned around the placement of Edward and Milo. It's
fixed.
Jackson's fame soared after the Battle of New Orleans. If A J C was 25 or
younger, that would make sense. According to a note from Beverly Webster,
Jonathan's kids are listed in a Marshall Co., KY. But I don't know the
date. If it's after 1840, A J C might have been dead and, therefore, not
listed. That he's listed so close to Amy does suggest that relationship.
But the 1830 census for Jonathan shows only three sons, presumably the
three I have listed.
