Hi ! Thank you ! I'm going to keep this in case that later I can connect the dots... Edward is the name of one of Johns' sons and I "think" a brother... Dixie Lea in K.C... ----- Original Message ----- From: Ed & Kathy Hughes To: DEKENT-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2003 2:25 PM Subject: Re: [DEKENT] Fw: COUNTY HISTORY ? I have no idea if this Jackson is the one you are looking for, but.... "History of Delaware", page 1154. To the northwest of "Caroon Manor", and adjoining the village of Magnolia, lies a tract of land called "The Plains". [several paragraphs about The Plains] ... "The Plains" is now principally owned by WM. JACKSON, Philip J. Barrett, Samuel Saxton, Avery D. Marvel, Stephen M. Thomas, Mrs. Sarah Wilson and Henry Burke. AND, page 1155: Adjoining "The Plains" on the east, and abutting on Caroon Manor on the north, lying on St. Jones Creek, is another tract of land taken up by Robert Bedwell, under a patent from Edmond Andros, in 1679...................About fifty acres of the southern or smaller part was purchased by Thomas M. Vinson in 1880, and two hundred acres of the larger or northern part, abutting on Caroon Manor, by EDWARD JACKSON the same year. I'm afraid those are the only references to a Jackson.
