He was named in a will of one of his Rust half brothers, William. >Julius Augustus, who married Sally Cannon and lived in Dorchester and Sussex Co, Delaware. He was a founding member of the Delaware Medical Society and owned the wharf in the town of Seaforth(?). He was paid by the military for medical services in the Rev. War. He had two known sons, Augustus, who died about 1798, and Dr. Peter Jackson who married Mary Rust. A son of the latter was Charles King Jackson, b. Sussex Co, Delaware, later of Hopkins and Webster Cos, Ky. Very interested in naming all the children of Augustus and of Dr. Peter Jackson. Information appreciated. Our ancestor is Julius Augustus Jackson, b. 1791, who we think is the son of one of these brothers. He married Elizabeth Walls and then Mary Griffith. >The last son of Christopher Dominick is Christopher Maccabeus Jackson, b. abt 1737. He is the one who married Magdelene Bogges and they moved on to first Mercer Co, Ky, then was a settler of Danville, Ky, then settled near Hartford, Ky. We are very interested in the children of this couple. There are conflicting reports. There are three "suspects": 1. There is a Christopher Maccabeus Jackson b. 1768 who married Catherine Rhoads. I have seen the reports that his father was someone else, but he was born in the same Ky county that CMJ b. abt 1737 lived in, and the name is certainly distinctive. The naming patterns in the lines are alike, as well. He names a son Julius and another son Christopher D. (Dominick?) and a daughter Hannah, which appears in this line as well. He goes to the same part of Missouri that the descendants of Julius Augustus go to--Pike Co and nearby. If not a son of CMJ b. abt 1737, surely there is a close connection somewhere. Early genealogy reports, although closer in time to the individuals, do sometimes suffer from the difficulty in obtaining records---we have a great advantage in that today. Any help appreciated! 2.There is also George Jackson b. Va, who married Sarah Crawford and lived in Daviess Co, Ky. An early history (1883) names his father as Christopher Maccabeus Jackson who was married to Magdelene Bogges, so we are almost certain. George has a son named Christopher D. Jackson, b. 1813, who married Nancy Lacklin. 3.Another possible is Jesse Jackson, b. 1770 also Va, who married Hannah Rhoads, the sister of Catherine Rhoads who married Christopher M. Jackson of Pike Co, Mo. He names a son --guess what? Christopher Maccabeus Jackson! And this son names a son Wm Christopher. Anyone connected to or interested in these lines, please reply. Have found that it is helpful to lay them out and then rearrange as we delete bad info and add the good. Would also like to have info on your line if it connects.
