IF ANY OF ALONZO'S CHILDREN ARE YOUR PARENTS, THEN ADD ONE GREAT TO EACH STEP ABOVE.

Martha's Parents were William McCullough born 1795 and Abigail Unknown

Harriett's Parents were Richard Ellender and Catherine Edwards.

John Jackson's parents and Grandparents as well as Martha's parents are undocumented. This is taken from old census records that do not list children's names. They are listed by ages instead. We do know that J.J.'s Uncles were born in North Carolina. They served in the War of 1812 and was granted bounty land for serving in Georgia and moved. They were too old for the Civil War but John Jackson and his brother's served in the Civil War and probably his cousins also, as the family back to 1820 were owners of slaves. Before the Civil War the government was granting free homesteads in Louisiana and Arkansas and they applied for government land and obtained it. The Uncles and their children then moved to Arkansas and Louisiana along with John Jackson and his brothers.

I have not enough information to know who were the sisters and aunts.

If the courthouses did not burn in Georgia during the civil war, a trip to research for wills, if they exist will give us the final documents we need to know to fill in the gaps.
