Surnames: Jackson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Xgk.2ACEB/7907.1 Message Board Post: About the right time for the Richard Jackson of Portmouth NH, if you look for the Jackson House, it is a historical home the oldest of it's type and information is on the web. I have a letter from a Jackson in 1926 relating my husbands grandmother Grace Jackson Poolman to the house by her Uncle who at that time lived in Pembrooke, On, Can. he follows a line to 1820 in that area then jumps to the Jackson House but says it was Thomas Jackson vs. the information on Richard. Good Luck. JP
