O'Malley changing name to Jackson
Does anybody have in their family tree of O'Malley's, an O'Malley who changed his surname to Jackson? I am researching the Jackson line and there is old family tale that the name use to orginally be O'Malley and that it was changed to Jackson to make it easier to find work. The last Jackson I have is Isaac Jackson b. 1887/1888 in KY. The rumor is, his father is the one who changed the name and that he was also born in KY so I guess I'm looking for an O'Malley born in KY between 1840-1870 that changed his name to Jackson. If this sounds familiar to anybody, I would love to hear from you. Thank you very much,
