Biography

The Birth Date is a rough estimate. See the text for details.

Rebecca Caroline Jackson was born on June 26th, 1844 in Tennessee to James Jackson and Nellie Coffelt. [1] In 1850 they were living in the 6th Civil District of Marion County, Tennessee. [2] Within the next decade they moved to the 4th Civil District. [3]

Rebecca married Reubin C. Floyd about 1861 (see research note). [4] [5] By 1870 they lived in the 2nd Civil District of Coffee County, Tennessee. [4]

Rebecca died on July 19th, 1872 and was buried in Cheekville Cemetery in Marion County. [1]

Research Notes

  • Birth - Rebecca was listed as 6 and 15 years old in the 1850 and 1860 Censuses, respectively, suggesting a birth year between 1844 and 1855. Her headstone is broken, and the engraving is difficult to read in pictures. The engraved date of birth clearly lists the 26th day in 1844, but the month is illegible. Other researchers have accepted the month to be June.
  • Marriage - The death certificate of Nancy Matilda Griffith lists her father as Reuben Floyd and her mother with the last name of Jackson. Rebecca Jackson, daughter of James and Nancy Jackson of Marion County, Tennessee, was the only unmarried woman of that name in the 1860 Census who was born between 1842 and 1846 in Tennessee.
  • Death - The engraving on Rebecca's headstone is difficult to read, but the date of death appears to be July 9th, 1872.
