To all that answered my request on help with a family for my Thomas Jackson a big THANK YOU!!! I have other Jackson information that I have collected in my several years of working with my Jackson. I will share one at a time of what I have. The first will be a rather long letter that a gentleman sent to another researcher and was shared with me long before computer days. I will list this and then if more of this line is needed will look in my BOX of notes and give the rest. Don"t know how to condense this so might have to make two listings. REMEMBER THIS IS NOT MY RESEARCH SO I DO NOT HAVE DOCUMENTATION. The sender and receiver are now deceased so I have no other contact for this information. (as written) Dear Pearl, Let me explain the location of where Edward Jackson 1755-1845 was born, in 1755 Old Craven Dist was a large section of land around Chesterfield Co, SC (now) but then it was part of Va. There was no NC or SC then they made a line and it was called "The Carlines", then they civided it into NC and SC, the Jakcson lived on the line at that time and even President Andrew Jackson did not know in which state he was born as there was only a wagon road as a dividing line and this was in dispute until 1767 they ran a line and the Cheraw Dist took part of Anson, NC and several counties around and Cheraw City was cut off into Chesterfield Co, SC. All this above is very confusing unless you know how the old maps looked which I have the old one of NC. There were only 3 Jackson's there. I also have some old land deeds and the 3 Jackson's in that area was John Jackson who had a large family and one of his son's was Edward but he was not born in 1755. He had a brother Stephen Jackson who also had a large family but he did not have an Edward. The 3rd borther was Benjamin Jackson and he married Amy Paul, the widow of Abraham Paul, and they raised a large family and one of his son's was Edward Jackson born 1755-1845 in Walker co, Ga. His parents were James Jackson born in Queen Co, NY in 1670 and Rebecca Hallett born 1675. Rebecca was the daughter of Wm Hallett of Halletts Cove Astoria Long Island and they had 20 children Parents for James Jackson who married Rebecca were John Jackson born 1647 census and died 1725. He married Elizabeth Seaman, born 1647 census Queen Co, NY. John Jackson's parents were the imigrates who first came to America, they are Robert Jackson, born in census 1620 in England and died in Queens Co, NY in 1684, married Agenes Washburne, born 1624 in England and died 1682 in Queen Co, NY, married in 1640. They had 4 known children. Robert Jackson's parents were Richard Jackson and Isabel Maltby Jackson of England. Now this is a combination of 3 books and one of these books is written by a host of relatives who got together and wrote all they knew. Now I know a lot of it is right because the other 2 books agrees with this. Will continue rest of letter on page 2 ----- Jeanette
