This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xUB.2ACE/1517.2 Message Board Post: Your message states that Absalom Bedell was from NC and that is where he married Ruth Jackson - the daughter of Isaac Jackson. I am a descendant of Deborah Jackson and Robert McGinty. Deborah was the daughter of Thomas Jackson, the son of Isaac Jackson. I had thought - but have no proof - that Ruth was the daughter of Thomas, not the daughter of Isaac. Ruth is either the daughter of Thomas or the sister of Thomas. Can you help?
