I haven't seen this publication, but have a reference to it from an item in the Philadelphia (Quaker) Yearly Meeting notes for the year 1788. I'm curious to know if this person might have been one of my direct Jackson ancestors. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
