Life History

Notes

• Several genealogies report that Anna B Hyatt was born in Green County, Indiana.  One reports the county as Bartholomew County (Columbus area).  But none give any documentation source for their information.

  In 1860, Moses and Anna were in Gainesville, Texas, close to the Red River south of Chickasaw Nation.  Living in their house, but enumerated as a separate household, was another Jackson couple, Abraham and Talitha (Delitha) Jackson.  In Abe and Talitha's household was also one James Jackson, whose relationship to Abraham we also are unsure of, but likely a brother, from their ages.  Their parents have not been found.

  James Jackson 25 M born Alabama [b abt 1835]
  
  Moses was born in Illinois and Abraham was born in Alabama, so they may be cousins.  It is possible they are brothers, but less likely.  But the way families migrated west the midwest was one route even for families from Tennessee-Georgia-Alabama.  Note also that the 1870 census shows a connection with Missouri also, where their son James was born, between two who were born in Texas.
  
  In the 1870 census, Anna is the head of the household, so it appears that Moses died before that census.  He seems to have passed away about 1867 or later, since their last child, daughter Rosetta, was reported as 3 years old.  Rosetta's name is spelled on her gravestone as Rosa Etta.  Note that the child Rhoda, 6 months old in July 1860, does not appear in the 1870 census.  The age of Mary E indicates she was born about 1861.  No death or burial information has been found for Rhoda.
