Place of birth shown as AL in 1850 and 1860 and as Georgia in 1870. In 1855 he bought land from Gilliam and Jane Chancellor [10/17/1855, Deed Book C, Butler Co. AL]. In 1859 he was Executor of his father's will and from the will he recieved "a Negro boy named Nelson". There is a Jackson Chancellor buried in the Chancellor Cemetary in Freestone Co. TX [ 1815-1870]. Could be an error on Marker as this Jackson was on 1880 census in Butler Co. AL but not found there after that Census.
