    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Xgk.2ACEB/7978 Message Board Post: Recently I have begun assisting my 83-year-old mother, Ruth Louise Jackson Sinclair (Mrs. John P. Green), of Waltham, Massachusetts in doing research on her mother's father's family. Her grandfather (her mother's father) was Edward Cross Jackson of Lancaster, New Hampshire. He is buried in Waltham, Massachusetts. I would like, please, for the descendants of William Harold Jackson who died on January 18, 1944 in Havana, Cuba to contact me. William H. Jackson was a publisher and was born around 1876. At one time he resided in Newton, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. I do not know if he was born in the United States or in Cuba. William H. Jackson was living in the Marianao District of Havana, Cuba when he died. He is buried in the Campbell Memorial Masonic Mausoleum at the Colón Cemetery in Havana. His wife's name was Mrs. Fina Forcade Jackson. His son's names were Walter E. Jakcosn and Richard H. Jackson. They were all living with William H. Jackson when he died. My mother's great-great grandfather was Moses Jackson of Newry, Maine. He was arrested in 1815 for possession of counterfeit money that he knew to be counterfeit in Norridgewock, Maine. After his trial in Augusta, Maine, he was sent to the Massachusetts State Prison in Charlestown, Massachusetts because at that time Maine was still a part of Massachusetts. On October 18, 1818 Moses Jackson was pardoned by the Governor of Massachusetts and released from this prison. Moses Jackson then went on a sailing ship to Matanzas, Cuba. My mother and I were wondering if William H. Jackson might be a descendant of Moses Jackson. We would appreciate it if any of William Jackson's family members would contact us.
