Serious Data Problems

• I could not find a record for 3 children who died young. Leander, Amelia and John.
• I could not find records to prove relationship for children Robert Lee and Thomas Jackson. Considering I found records for Caroline and Theadosia and two other daughters not listed, I believe these children belong to someone else.
• If all children are correct, Emaline would have had Theodosia in 1860, Leander in 1861, Amelia in 1862, Twins Rebecca and Tempsy in 1863, and Triplets John, Robert and Thomas in 1864. That is 8 children in 4 years. I think this is unlikely. In 1870, Emaline had Theodosia, Rebecca and Tempsy living with her, no triplets.
