Jackson and his wife Ruth Crampton. Ruth Crampton was daughter of Thomas Crampton and Ann Mary Maria Patrick of Gapland, Washington co., MD. Believe Thomas Jackson served in a Washington Co., MD militia during Rev. War. I found the following info: Frederick Co. VA Land Deed Book 42, page 142. Statement made before the court that Thomas Jackson was entitled to a slave by the name of Alexander age about 23 years, 6 feet rather slender frame was the property of Thomas Crampton of Washington Co. MD devised to his daughter Ruth, now the wife of said Thomas Jackson. Said Thomas Jackson is requesting from the court the right to transport said slave into Frederick Co. VA to sell him. Dated 10 Dec 1819, probated 3 Jan 1820. Does anyone know if the stayed in Frederick Co., VA and if they had any children??
