His son, James, was born in Virginia in 1748. I went back and looked at my tree where I had a Thomas Jackson as James Sr's father however he died many years before James was born but that's what other people had as the information. So now I don't know who James Sr's father was. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
