Does anyone know who the father of this Richard JACKSON is. The piece beneath says he was a Richard JACKSON from Dublin, which does help to narrow it, but not enough for a slam dunk. JACKSON, RICHARD (d. 1787), politician, was son of Richard Jackson of Dublin. He was entered at Lincoln's Inn as a student in 1740, and called to the bar in 1744. On 22 Nov. 1751 he was admittedad eundem at the Inner Temple, became abencher in 1770, reader in 1779, and treasurer in 1780. He was created standingcounsel to the South Sea Company in 1764,was one of the counsel for Cambridge University, and held the post of law-officer to theboard of trade. He was elected F.S. A. in 1781, and was a governor of the Society of Dissenters for Propagation of the Gospel. On a chance vacancy (1 Dec. 1762) he was returned to parliament for the conjoint boroughof Weymouth and Melcombe Regis, and from1768 to 1784 he sat for the Cinque port ofNew Romney. Lord Edmund Fitzmaurice calls him 'the private secretary of George Grenville ' in 1765, and writes that in that year he warned the House of Commonsagainst applying the Stamp Act to the American colonies. In after-years Jackson was known as the intimate friend of Lord Shelburne. When Shelburne formed his ministry in July 1782, Jackson was made a lord of thetreasury, and he held that office until the following April. He died at Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, London, on 6 May 1787, when a considerable fortune came to his twosisters. >From his extraordinary stores of knowledge he was known as 'Omniscient Jackson,'but Johnson, in speaking of him, altered theadjective to ' all-knowing,' on the ground thatthe former word was ' appropriated to theSupreme Being.' "When Thrale meditated a journey in Italy he was advised by Johnsonto consult Jackson, who afterwards returnedthe compliment by remarking of the 'Journeyto the Western Islands' that ' there was moregood sense upon trade in it than he shouldhear in the House of Commons in a year,except from Burke.' He is introduced into' The old Benchers of the Inner Temple ' inLamb's ' Essays of Elia.' [Boswell, ed. Hill, iii. 19, 137; Fitzmaurice's Life of Lord Shelburne, i. 321-2 ; W. H. Cooke's Inner Temple Benchers, p. 80 ; Lamb's Elia, ed. Ainger, p. 127; Gent. Mag. 1764 p. 603, 1787 -- Sharon Oddie Brown, Roberts Creek, BC, Canada. History Project: www.thesilverbowl.com

I would have to look them up though, as I can't remember their names off the top of my head. Ed and Dexter were born in Georgia, but I believe both sets of parents came from Alabama.

A number of lists that I subscribe to have wrestled with the problem of how to share research with others, and even whether to share at all. This piece I have posted to my blog site is just me mulling about the whole question of sharing. Towards the end of it, I have a list of pros and cons. SEE: http://sharonoddiebrown.blogspot.com/2011/05/knock-knock-whos-there.html My next blog will be about how I learn from my mistakes, with a couple of pieces giving examples. Maybe I will finish the three of these pieces tomorrow, maybe the next day. Sharon -- Sharon Oddie Brown, Roberts Creek, BC, Canada. History Project: www.thesilverbowl.com

This is an extract of a letter sent by our grandfather, Alexander Jackson, to his daughter Mayce Jackson Sharum, on January 20,1917. "As to our people; Your great-great-grandfather Jackson came from England and settled in North Carolina in colonial days, about the close of the Revolutionary War. Your great-grandfather Churchwell Jackson, moved from North Carolina to Illinois. My impression is that the whole family made this move. There Churchwell Jackson met and married Miss Marguerite Coffell. Sometime after which they moved to Winchester, Tenn. of this union there was born G.W. Jackson,your grandfather,who was the older child, then James, Daniel, Preston,Lindsay, John-Henry, Criss, Wilson, Marguerite and Mary. There is more to the letter but this part relates to churchwell jackson some of the spelling is different then what I have found. For instance Coffell is Coffelt. G.W. Jackson is I assume is George Washington Jackson born in 1818. I am new to this, so I thought I would share this hoping to get some feedback.
