I am assisting my 82-year-old mother to do research on her family. Her name is Ruth Louise Jackson Sinclair (Mrs. John P. Green) of Waltham, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. She now lives in southern New Jersey. My mother's grandmother (her mother's mother) was Flora Conner (Mrs. Edward Cross Jackson). Flora Conner Jackson was born in Leiwston, Maine, but she and her husband are buried in Waltham, Massachusetts. Flora Conner's younger sister, Inez Conner, married Atwood Joseph Jackson of Jefferson, Maine. Inez and Atwood Jackson are buried in Jefferson. Recently we learned that Atwood Jackson is descended from Samuel Jackson. He was born September 6, 1754 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and died November 3, 1826 in Jefferson, Maine. He was called Captain Jackson because he served in the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War. He had an older brother Joseph Jackson who was born about May 11, 1752 in Durham, New Hampshire and died June 19, 1831 in Jefferson, Maine. These two brothers went from New Hampshire to Newcastle, Maine and in 1778 they moved to Jefferson, Maine. Samuel Jackson and Joseph Jackson had a brother Isaac Jackson who was born in New Hampshire and stayed in New Hampshire. If anyone has information about these three Jackson brothers, I would appreciate it very much if they would contact me. My mother and I would especially like to know who the parents of Samuel, Joseph, and Isaac Jackson were. My mother is the only one of her brothers and sisters still living. She would like to learn as much as possible about her Jackson family. Thank you for your kind assistance with our genealogical research. Sincerely, Susan M.
