560. Kelly Jackson, Part 1
560. Part 1 of our friend Kelly Jackson's return to the podcast to discuss her Metoyer documentary.
“Kelly is the creator of the Cane River Film Festival. The film festival
is sponsored by her historical preservation nonprofit – the
Resurrection Fern Foundation. Resurrection Fern serves as a way for
Kelly to support her community events and historical films. A project
close to Kelly’s heart is the documentary “Resurrection Fern: The Life and Times of Marie Thérèse Coincoin,” a film about her ancestors in 17th
Century Natchitoches, Louisiana. Kelly Jackson is a 7th generation
descendant of Marie Thérèse Coincoin and Claude Thomas Pierre Metoyer.
“On Facebook in 2010, I noticed others with the odd name of my
grandmother from Louisiana,” Kelly says. “She never knew of her family
history, so finding these roots was life-changing.” Kelly was so
inspired by Coincoin’s story from slavery to freedom that she wanted her
to be the focus of her next film”
(Soul Vision Magazine).
Fredericksbury, Virginia, February 4, 1828. He engaged in cotton
planting on property he purchased in Madison Parish and also looked
