Individual Details

This is the "Leigh" Wilkerson named in the will of Francis Jackson. On 28 Mar 1793, Leigh Wilkerson appeared in Court in Amelia Co VA and selected Burwell Jackson as guardian. Bond was posted by Burwell, Joel, and their brother-in-law James Vaughn. Burwell was already living in KY so must have come back to VA for this occasion. Leigh became the adopted son of his half-brother and thereafter his name appears as Lee Jackson or Leroy Jackson. He likely went with Burwell back to Kentucky as he's found in Warren County.

By 1802 & 1803, Leroy paid a poll tax in Warren Co; by 1806 he had 250 acres of land; in 1815 Burwell gave him another 250 acres.

Leroy and Rachel are buried on the Luther Jackson Farm, Warren Co KY. This may very well be part of the original homestead of Burwell Jackson.
There is a lady - Julia Ann Jackson buried in this cemetery. She died 3 Dec 1853 at age 86 years - she was born 1767. I cannot find where she fits in the family but I'm sure she does. Perhaps the stone was misread or there was a typo. Daughter of Leroy & Rachel named Julia Ann was born in 1817 and died on 3 Dec 1853. She was 36, rather than 86.
