The results matched with documented descendants of COL John Jackson of Hempstead, NY. COL John Jackson had a son named James Jackson who had a son named Benjamin who migrated to North Carolina in the 1740's and settled in the Anson Co./Chesterfield Co. area. Descendants of COL Stephen Jackson 1808-1887 were tested as well, their samples did not match the COL John Jackson line. There were two, possibly three lines of Jacksons in that area prior to 1800.
