(This Susannah is a daughter of Susannah Miller !1712-1767) from Charlemont, Armagh IR,daughter of a John Miller and Mary Ignew) ........ Down the ages from there, G. Thomas Jackson (1788-18??), born in Canada in 1788, but his birth is also registered at New Garden MM. He marries ???? in about 1812 H. John C. Jackson, (abt. 1815-1896), my known and documented maternal greatgrandfather, is born in Chester County, PA.      

Be sure to find some sort of documentation for this line, as there are ssmajor discrepancies between what you list and IMMIGRATION OF THE IRISH QUAKERS INTO PA 1682-1750, by Myers, generally speaking, a very reliable researcher; John Miller 1633 m Ann Clibborn, b 1630...had the following children; Wm b1659, at Moat; Margaret 1662 at Shurrch d 1668; John b 1665 at Moate; Thomas b 1667 at Ballynalinch; Abraham 1670, at Glin, co West Meath, Isaac b 1672, at Glin. John Miller m Mary Ignews (an assumption on the surname, from the mention of her brothers in her will) emigrated to Chester Co, helped establish the London Grove meeting, and died in 1714.... according to his willhe had no son named Gayen, as witness his naming of his children in the will....nor did his wife, Mary, in her will ..both are included, and that seems fairly good proof to me that John and Mary Miller had no son named Gayen.

I found a good book about the Quakers in Ireland - Six Generations of Friends in Ireland, at Google Books. It discusses in some detail why Quakers were moving around so much in Ireland. Two key actors in the book are named Wilson. I imagine they're more than likley the ancestors of the Wilson's of London Grove and New Garden. Somehow I never traced them back further than the father of Ephraim Wilson; John Wilson of London Grove, who married Elizabeth Jackson of New Garden in 1741. Rootsweb World Connect can't trace him, which is odd. A Wilson family played a prominent part in Quaker history in Ireland. But Immigration of the Irish Quakers into Pennsylvania just has assorted Wilson scraps, mostly reports of assorted Wilsons from various parts of Ireland received at New Garden. Maybe John Wilson who was received at New Garden in 1735 from Limerick married Elizabeth Jackson in 1741 at New Garden, but nothing I have places him in London Grovein 1741. Anyone know who he was?
