Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Xgk.2ACEB/7986 Message Board Post: I'm trying to determine if three people from three different records are the all same person. Person 1) Edmund/Edward Jackson, born Abt. 1695; died September 1762 in Halifax County, North Carolina. He married Elizabeth Scott. In the records of Pasquotank County, North Carolina, Deed Book A, and also in the wills, Edmund is referred to as both Edward and Edmund, sometimes in the same document. That I know they only had one son: Isaac Jackson, born in Halifax County, North Carolina; died 1787; married Elizabeth Cartwright ? Edmund married Elizabeth Scott, daughter of Stephen Scott and Mary M. (Mayridge ?) Scott abt 1745. However, in his will he names his wife Mary... possibly, Elizabeth's name was Mary Elizabeth, or possibly Elizabeth died and Mary was his second wife... I have info for this Edmund/Edward down to my current line. This is a relative and the great grandfather of Solomon B. Jackson of Texas. What I don't have is from his father back. Person 2) Edmund/Edward (Newgate) Jackson, b.2/3/1651-52 or , d. 9/30/1727. Son of Edward Jackson and Elizabeth Newgate. He married 3 women: Grace ?, Abigain Wilson, and Mary ? I have info for this Edmund/Edward back to 1400's (!), but don't know if this is actually a relative. Person 3) Edward Jackson, b. 10/1/1698 in Newton, Middlesex, Mass, USA. d. 7/1/1738 (same location). Son of Edward Jackson (1672-1748) and Mary (Thayer) Newton (1674-1753). He married a woman name Abigail in 1721. Again, I have info for this person back, but don't know if it is an actual relative. Any help would be appreciated. I'm looking for FACTS: Family, census or other knowledgable records. Also, if you've looked into these people and found it to be a dead end, please let me know. I'm starting to loose faith that I'll ever get this resolved. Rebecca B Jackson Seattle, WA
