(384) Jackson Coleman was the second son of Charles Coleman. He was born approximately 1817, in Tennessee.
Jackson married Casannah Pickett in the late 1830's. She was born around 1824 in North Carolina. Both were illiterate and Jackson was listed as a farmer for his occupation.
He and his wife were residing in Bledsoe County, Tennessee, when the 1840 Census was taken. I am assuming he lived in the same area as his father and brothers, in the vicinity of Lewis Chapel and Flat Top communities. He was also listed as being in Bledsoe County in the 1850 census.
A deed was recorded in Hamilton County, Tennessee on 3/2/1852, when Jackson Coleman received 50 acres in the 12th District of Hamilton County from his father Charles Coleman. Apparently at this time Jackson moved down off Walden's Ridge and into the valley north of Soddy, TN, or in Bakewell, TN.
That was the last record of Jackson Coleman and his family in Bledsoe, Hamilton, Sequatchie, Putnam or DeKalb Counties in Tennessee where all other descendants of Charles Coleman were known to have lived. I have not been able to find anyone who knows what happened to Jackson Coleman or his descendants, but it is generally assumed he went west.
As of the 1850 census (384) Jackson Coleman and Casannah Pickett Coleman had 4 children as follows:
(403) 1. Nancy J. Coleman, b. c1839, GA (404) 2. Eliza A. Coleman, b. c1841, in TN (405) 3. Cassy E. Coleman, b. c1848, in TN (406) 4. Rachael M. Coleman, b. c1850, in TN
In Nov. 2008, I received an email reporting citing of a story about Nancy Jane Coleman and family.
(403) Nancy Jane Coleman married Thomas Jefferson Spicer, b. 09/08/1833
near Clinton, TN. Thomas was the son of William Henry Spicer and Sarah (Sally) Butler Spicer.

married third Lucinda Carol Atkinson 07/15/1888. She was born 10/1857.
