Have found that I had 4 relatives in civil war , 1 Great Grandfather and 3 GG uncles all Jackson's , Great Grandfather was John Jackson served 6 mo., GG Uncle Thomas Jackson served 6 mo. , James Jackson served 3yrs, William Jackson served 6mo. or less died at battle in Hoza Valley along with 2 other union soldiers that names remain unknown .Thomas and William fought at the battle of Pilot Knob. Not sure if they were stationed at the fort in Pilot Knob Missouri, or Fort Patterson. John was at home in Brunot Mo. with a bad sickness he was 44 yrs old and James was at hospital with a eye problem , not sure what was wrong with it though .Papers show James was disabled for service later because of his eye, John also discharged and disabled later because of chronic diarrhea. My GG Grandfather was Nathan Jackson wife's name was Elizabeth Jackson . John's wife's name was Jane Craven. Any info our help on where they might be buried , our any info of any kind on them would be very welcomed , they all lived in Madison co. Missouri and Iron Co. Missouri also Wayne Co. Missouri. John & Jane Craven , John & Jane Jackson ,Nathan & Elizabeth Jackson All bought property from the U.S. Gov. in Madison co. Mo. in 1837 with a Grant, Believe they were some of the first to by land in this part of Missouri after the Louisiana purchase.
Thanks and Merry Christmas to all ,
Scott Jackson
