Somehow, I am related to the Stonewall; not to brag or run depending on where one is from. He was mentioned in some of the earlier posts as being of Scotch Irish ancestory.

BTW, Stonewall Jackson I believe hailed from Virginia but maybe it was from one of these other states if I do not correctly remember.

The other bunch seems to have a N or S Carolina entry, but not even sure of that just that the oldest one I can document fought with Washington at Braddock's Defeat and then was in N&S Carolina, offspring went West via TN on to MO

Spoken like a true Scot... lol

Could be as I am not familiar with his family tree.

Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson was from Clarksburg in western Virginia--now in West Virginia. He was teaching at VMI in Lexington, VA, when the war broke out, and is now buried in the cemetery in Lexington. Robert E. Lee is also buried in Lexington but in a building on the Washington and Lee campus.
