I am helping my 83-year-old mother to do research on her family. Her name is Ruth Louise Jackson Sinclair (Mrs. John P. Green). Born in Waltham, Massachusetts, she now lives in Somers Point, New Jersey. My mother's grandmother (her mother's mother) was Flora Estelle Conner (Mrs. Edward Cross Jackson) of Lewiston, Maine. She is buried in Waltham. Flora Conner Jackson's sister, Inez Conner, married Atwood Joseph Jackson of Jefferson, Maine. He died in 1939 and she died in 1947 and they are both buried in Jefferson. The parents of Atwood Jackson were: Joseph Jackson, Jr. who was born June 29, 1819 in Jefferson, Maine and died December 1, 1883 in Jefferson and Arletta Flagg Jackson who was born in September 1824 and died June 1, 1883 in Jefferson. They had nine children. We would appreciate it very much if the descendants of the children of Joseph Jackson, Jr. and Arletta Flagg Jackson would contact us. Recently we learned that Joseph Jackson, Jr. 's grandfather was Captain Samuel Jackson who was born September 6, 1754 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and died November 3, 1826 in Jefferson, Maine. My mother and I would very much like to know who were the parents of Samuel Jackson so that we can trace the Jackson family further back. Thank you very much for your kind assistance in our research. Sincerely, Susan M. Grady Alexandria, Virginia
