COX, JACKSON, OXENDINE, PHILLIPS posted by Michael Stephen "Steve" Jackson on Friday, May 22, 1998

I feel there is a connection between the JACKSON and OXENDINE families. John P Oxendine or Jonathan Oxendine was indentured to James Jackson and Saroah "Sally" COX Jackson in Jan 1853. Does anyone know anything about this? I believe the Oxendines were at least part Native American. I would like to find the parents of Spencer PHILLIPS born March 1825 in Overton Co, TN. according to his Civil War Pension papers. He married Rebecca Jackson, daughter of James JACKSON, Esq. and Saroah "Sally" Cox Jackson. Spencer and Rebecca were parents of Willis Phillips, Matina Phillips, Sarah Phillips, Nancy Phillips, Pheriba Phillips Ford, Dicy Phillips, and James B. Phillips. Spencer later married Louise Hamcock, after Rebecca died presumably due to complications of childbirth. I'd welcome any info. available. Thanks, Steve Jackson.

HOOSER, VANHOOSER posted by Janet SNYDER on Monday, May 25, 1998

Looking for Overton County info on my ggggrandfather, Squire VANHOOSER (all sorts of spellings and sometimes find him as just Hooser). From what I can piece together from census records, he was born between 1775-1794. In the 1820 census, I find him in Overton County, as Squire V. HOOSER, with wife, two girls under 10 and one boy under 10. I do see that living nearby him are John V. HOOSER, Isaac V. HOOSER and Abraham HOOSER, so they most likely are kin. And that's all I know about his Tennessee roots. He moved to Crawford County Indiana and was living there for the 1830 census, and it looks like the family stayed put there for the most part. The children he and his wife had while in Overton were James W. (my gggrandfather), Elizabeth, and Margaret. I have not yet identified his wife's name. Thanks for your help. Jan
