My name is Florene Thackerson Allen and I am the great-great grandaughter of Richard Hodges and Luvinda Wright Simms Thackerson and Great-great-great granddaughter of Peter and Rosenhappuck Thackerson. I have been researching Thackersons for about twenty years, but still need help.
I need your help in correcting something I shared with others because that is the way my aunt gave it to me, but research has proved there was a mistake !!!!!.
Rosen Happuck Thackerson was Peter's wife and not his father as my aunt had thought. According to church records and a report to the Christian Newspaper when she died, she was the wife of Peter and died in childbirth .
I have a list of their chldren and most of their sons families but the girls are hard to trace, and that is the reason I am so excited about finding relatives of their youngest daughter, Lucinda who married David Roberts. Lucinda was only about two or three years old when her mother died. Richard and Luvinda were married had had children almost as old as Lucinda who was Richard Hodges baby sister.
Peter had another son John S. who also named a daughter after his sister. It makes it difficult to follow these Lucinda and Luvinda's as every family had three or four.
I will be happy to share my 20 so years of research if I can manage to get it on the computor. I would appreciate information you have gathered through the years.
I have met many wonderful Thackersons in Texas, Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina.
We despretaly need your help in identifying a Katie Thackerson who had a baby named Jesse born in 1868 in Alabama.
I do Not have Richard Hodges Thackersons Bible but I did go to Alabama and make copies of the pages in the Bible. We have searched in Alabama for Peter's grave but so far have been unsuccessful. We need help with that. John S. Thackerson's family have been very helpful. William W. Thackerson's family have been a great help. If we all put our heads together, maybe we can complete this task.
I live in Grnabury, Texas and have taken my Dad many places searching for Thackersons. He died in February 1999 at the age of 96, but he was always interested in family.
