The book GENEALOGY OF THE JACKSON FAMILY, The Authentic History of Ephraim Jackson, The First Emigrant to America, 1687 and his Descendants, compiled by Israel Ernest Jackson of Boston, MA states in a footnote on page 14: "Nathan Jackson - dismissed by Society of Friends 11-25-1741/2 for marriage to one not a member." The only citation for the footnote is the research by Joseph A. Jackson. Since my original query about Nathan Jackson, I have been unsuccessful in contacting either Ernest Jackson or Joseph Jackson to find the source of the statement which is probably from a MM. As a descendant of Nathan Jackson of Guilford, Randolph and Rowan Counties in North Carolina I believe Nathan, son of Ephraim and Rachel, is probably the same Nathan in NC. Nathan appears on a Rowan County Poll Tax List with his son Edward in 1759. His neighbors in NC were Hollingsworths, Noblets, Mendenhalls, Chaffins and others from Chester County, PA who had traveled the Great Wagon Road southward into VA and onward to NC in the mid-1700s. His children and grandchildren married into the forementioned families in NC. Even though Nathan's family does not appear in MM records in NC, neither he nor any of his sons in NC participated on either side in the Revolutionay War, probably holding to the Quaker attitude toward war. Nathan is believed to have died before 1790 because he does not appear on the 1790 NC census. Hopefully, the sameness of these two Nathans can be proven or disproven in time.
