More About AMANDA JACKSON:
Pioneer: Bet. 1810 - 1817
Amanda’s Parents were Isaac Jackson, Sr. and Zillah Thompson who was born September 10, 1789, in Georgia. They weremaried aoubt 1809 and arrived in Texas as Stephen F. Austin colonists. Anarticle in the Dallas Moring News dated May 30, 1920, cites their son,Isaac Jackson, Jr. as being the oldest living person at the time who was born in Texas, stating that he was born in Austin's Colony in 1825. (Other records indicate his birth date was 1826.) He was the only man then living known to have participated in the "Runaway Scrape." Isaac and Zillah Jackson settled on New Years Creek in Washinton County, Texas Government, and received two land grants instead of the uaual one as result of this service. He was caught in a blizzard, lost his way and froze to death in 1831. his son, Joseph Jackson, was with Sam Houston at the Battle of Jacinto in 1836.
Zillah, widow of Isaac, and the other children had to leave home in the "Runaway Scrape" because of theapproaching Santa Anna and his soldiers. They were within hearing distance of the guns at the Battle of San Jacinto. Zillah Jackson was a very religious woman, and the Rev. Orcemith Fisher, and early Methodist preachers of the day, found her to be a great helper. Her home was often used as a place of worship. Administrator for Isaac Jackson, owning 3,728 acres of land. Zillah later moved to Lee County where she died at Blue in 1866. 1817; Elizabeth born February 6, 1819; William M. born February 22, 1821;Isaac, Jr. born September 29, 1826; and Sarah and amanda. twins, born October 18, 1831. Texas Muster Roll, Land Office, Austin, Texas, as having served in MajorMcNutt's command, Company F, First Regiment, in the Texas Revolution.Zillah's father, Seth Thompson, was an American soldier and spy during the American Revolution. Issac and Zillah married about 1809 and came to Texas with Austin's colony, settling at Old Washington-on-the-Brazos . Issac Jackson served as Alcalde under the Mexican goverment and received two land grants for his service.
I (Betty Meischen) have copied most of these notes that were supplied by other descendants and I do find some errors.If Isaac Jackson died in a blizzard in 1831, he did not serve in the war for independence and therefore, would not have received bounty land.I can find no reference to Letiticia Jackson wife of George Marshall Stephenson.The only reference I have found was in the CD of Austin Colony Pioneers where it says that Isaac and Samantha were the settlers who get Old Three Hundred credit and that Lettie was their daughter.It does seem that there are quite a few descrepancies.The fact that "Zilly" is living with SY Reams in the 1860 census lends credence to the fact that the grant in Lee County did wind up in the hands of Joseph.Other members of my family married into the Reams family and they had a close relationship.
The one Isaac Jackson birthdate 1826 would have been too young to fight in the Texas revolution so therefore, I do not believe he should be given credit for bounty land.
Copied from Texas Handbook Online:There were THREE "Isaac" Jacksons in early Texas - sources vary/or contradict as to particulars regarding the three men - One of Austin's "Old Three Hundred" - Isaac entered Texas probably during 1820 with wife Zillah Thomapson (lovingly called "Zilly"); son Joseph b.June 15, 1817 Ga; dau Elizabeth b.Feb 6, 1819 Ga; son, William M. b.

Oct 18, 1831 Austin's Colony [Old Mexican Municipality].According to Stephen Austin's Register (first entry in 1825): arr. March 1830 w/wife, "Tilly" [either Austin wrote in error and transcription error "Tilly" should have been Zilly] - (both Isaac and wife gave age as 40) w/three sons and two daughters-- requested land on New Year's Creek - gave occupation as farmer - took Mexico's Oath of Allegiance March 1829 agreeing to abide by Mexico's religion and laws.Isaac died 1831 within the Old Mexican Municipality (Washington Cty,).From Voter Registration Records July 9, 1867: Isaac Jackson: Registraton #415; Years Lived in State -40; Years Lived in Burleson County -10 (this would have been Isaac's son Isaac b. 1826).http://gonetotexas.rootsweb.ancestry.com/jack1.htmhttp://gonetotexas.rootsweb.ancestry.com/jack1.htm

Hi Joe, the info. you sent me was John Thompson through Lori Ann Howton on the descendants. Other info. was as follows: You have a picture of William Jackson and that Seth Thompson fought in the Rev. War. You gave me info. about places to visit in Lee County, Blue and Austin Colony. Also, Brenham Lib. You were looking for the burial place of Joseph Jackson (Williams brother) also you were documenting when Isaac and Zillah came to Texas. I understand the confusion that is why I am trying to take my time and I do appreciate any info. I can receive from other researchers. My mailing address is: Barbara Kaler, 502 E. Tenth St., Bishop, TX 78343. Hope to hear from you soon.

Other Info: There were THREE "Isaac" Jacksons in early Texas - sources vary/or contradict as to particulars regarding the three men - One of Austin's "Old Three Hundred" - Isaac entered Texas probably during 1820 with wife Zillah Thompson (lovingly called "Zilly"); son Joseph b.June 15, 1817 Ga; dau Elizabeth b.Feb 6, 1819 Ga; son, William M. b.

Sept 29, 1826 Austin's Colony - [Old Mexican Municipality]); Sarah and Amanda (twins) b. Oct 18, 1831 Austin's Colony [Old Mexican Municipality].According to Stephen Austin's Register (first entry in 1825): arr. March 1830 w/wife, "Tilly" [either Austin wrote in error and transcription error "Tilly" should have been Zilly] - (both Isaac and wife gave age as 40) w/three sons and two daughters-- requested land on New Year's Creek - gave occupation as farmer - took Mexico's Oath of Allegiance March 1829 agreeing to abide by Mexico's religion and laws.Isaac died 1831 within the Old Mexican Municipality (Washington Cty,).From Voter Registration Records July 9, 1867: Isaac Jackson: Registraton #415; Years Lived in State -40; Years Lived in Burleson County -10 (this would have been Isaac's son Isaac b. 1826).
From one record, Isaac died in a blizzard.A second Isaac fought in the Texas Revolution and was severely injured in the fighting.He received a league of land from the Republic of Texas for his injuries received.
James Stephenson is recorded as having land deals with Zillah Jackson.She would have been the mother-in-law of his son George who married Letitia.Found in a record on CD of early Texas Settlers about Isaac Jackson that his daughter Lettie Jackson married Marshall Stephenson.James Stephenson had property in Washington Co. on New Year's Creek and also in Grimes Co. When James Stephenson died in 1853, George Marshall is not named as an heir, so therefore, it can be presumed that he died before that time.

JACKSON, ISAAC (?-?). Isaac Jackson, one of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred colonists, received title on August 7, 1824, to a league of land on the east bank of the Brazos River in what is now southwestern Grimes County, two miles below the site of Washington-on-the-Brazos. The census of March 1826 classified him as a farmer and stock raiser, a single man aged over fifty.The grant would have been north of James Bell's 3/4 league in Grimes Co.
Another Isaac Jackson, who was born in Georgia and arrived in Texas from Ohio on December 26, 1827, settled in the Austin colony in Grimes County. He was aged thirty-two and had with him his wife, Samantha, and three daughters. He was still living in Grimes County in 1860.
A third Austin colonist named Isaac Jackson arrived in March 1830. He and his wife, Tilly, were both aged forty and came from Alabama with three sons and two daughters.

Classification: Query Surnames: Jackson
I am looking for Jacksons also and have found an "Isaac Jackson" son of Robert H Jackson of Heard, son of Isaac Jackson of Greene son of Henry Jackson of Hancock, son of Isaac Jackson of Hancock and formerly Ireland. He was in the Rev. War and received 1200 acres in Hancock County Ga. It sounds like it might be the same family
