Israel Gabriel Saxon--Oktibbeha County, MS
Just starting on my search for ancestors.From what I've been able to discover, my great grandfather, I. G. Saxon was trained as a doctor and was old enough to marry in 1863 in Oktibbeha County, MS.I believe that his mother may have been a Gabriel, and he was named for an uncle.
There is a family story that his grandfather served with Andrew Jackson at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, but I have no idea whether it would have been Saxon or Gabriel.
I.G. Saxon had at least eight children with his wife Cornelia Eugenia Montgomery Saxon.I am descended from the next to the youngest daughter.
