I've had past contact with Angela Packer, also descended from Philip, and she was very helpful to me. I know of the two Jackson siblings in one branch of that line (Thomas and Nancy) who each married a Culver brother and sister, Rachel and Obediah. I've yet to uncover any kind of blood connection to that Jackson group, but Rachel and Obediah are most probably my 5G Aunt and Uncle. It would seem that their older brother Joseph is my 4G Grandfather. So far, I'm aware of at least a couple or three other Jackson lines, but I keep getting stuck at my GGG Grandfather and can't determine any connection to any of them. And every time I get the motivation to dig some more, my work schedule gets in the way!! :-) = Steve = -- Steve W.
