Having problems with message search?
Trellys,
I started from scratch with Hugh Jackson and started looking for records. Assuming that the Hugh Jackson in Stewart Co. in 1820 is our Hugh Jackson, it is clear that he was married to someone sometime around 1810. This is born out again on the 1830 Gibson Co. Census since Hugh and Mary were married only two years before.
I couldn't find Hugh on the 1860 Census, maybe you have? I did find a record that may be our Hugh Jackson, an IRS Tax Assessment List for 1862 that covered Gibson Co.among others. This could be another Hugh Jackson from one of the other counties.
Hugh was enumerated on the line above David Jackson in Stewart Co. which would lead one to believe that they were connected. However, we find his nephews son marrying his daughter later on. This leads me to believe that Hugh is not actually directly related.
Sure bears more research, problem is where to look:-) Well, I am into it now and I will see what I can dig up.
Bob

Hate that I don't belong to the Jackson group as I followed the research from the beginning BUT: Jesse Jackson DNA matches many, many from the Childress line and not one single person from the Jackson DNA list. I don't know who the Childress father is at this time. I'm playng with the idea that Hugh Jackson b. 1790 (who you believe to be the son of David b.1758 and Susan Meador Jackson) married wife #2 Mary Childress 17 Apr 1828 Madison Co., TN - Perhaps Mary Childress brought this young child into the marriage and was raised by Hugh as his father also taking the Jackson name. Or another idea: Mary Childress was the daughter of Ibba Childress (1830 Gibson Co Census) and when she married Hugh she brought her younger brother into the marriage. Hugh and Mary did name their first child together, Iba.I need researchers like you working on the Hugh Jackson line . . . There is a Hugh Jackson on the 1858 Lamar Co., TX Tax list and many of his children settled in Lamar Co. I don't find him after 1850 census nor do I find Mary anywhere. Just that listing of the 1858 tax list.Perhaps you'll have some extra Jackson men that could be sons of Hugh Jackson from his first marriage, who ever she was . . . I have never found proof that he was the son of David and Susan Meador Jackson, have you?Kit 9044 belongs to my cousin Richard Jackson . . . he's in the same boat that I'm in . . . needing help to find Jesse's daddy.Thanks . . .Trellys ErwinOn Jun 14, 2009, at 4:01 PM, Bob Mitchell wrote:
I noticed on the FTDNA Jackson Project Website, a couple of kits (9044 and 7722 ) who have Jesse Jackson, born 1825 in Tennessee. I believe this Jesse Jackson to be the Jesse Jackson, born 9 Jul 1825, probably in Haywood or Madison Co., Tennessee. He married Catherine Jackson Benthal, a widow and daughter of David Jackson and Elizabeth Temple. David Jackson is of the Hempstead Jackson line with lineage back through David Jackson, Sr and Susan Lucey Meador. David being a son of Benjamin Jackson born 26 Jul 1719 and wife unknown. This lineage has been proven with yDNA.It was conjectured by myself and other researchers that Jesse Jackson was a Hempstead Jackson, but yDNA has proven us wrong. However, there is more than a good possibility that this Jesse is a grandson of Jesse Jackson, born 7 Jul 1761 and Elizabeth Simpson, born 18 Sep 1762 both in Pasquotank Co., North Carolina. Family history found in the narrative contained in the Application for Revolutionary War Pension by Elizabeth Simpson Jackson shows Jesse Jackson 1761, as a son of Dempsey Jackson and Dorcas Jennings of Pasquotank Co., North Carolina.This line continues back from Dempsey to Zacharias proven by a will dtd 18 Oct 1748 and proved on 4 Aug 1749 in Pasquotank Co. From Zacharias back to Daniel Jackson as proven by a will dtd 14 Feb 1735 and proved 10 Jan 1737 in Pasquotank Co. From Daniel back to William Jackson who wrote his will on 21 Feb 1695/6 and was proved on 3 Mar 1697. There were two William/Will Jacksons in the area during the same time frame. They may or may not be related. The Will Jackson named above was the elder of the two and was known as Will Jackson, Sr. There was no mention of a Will or William Jackson in his will, so the assumption is that the junior William/Will Jackson was unrelated directly.The connection to Jesse Jackson, 1825 has not been proven. I strongly suspect that this Jesse is a son of either Jesse Jackson, born 1 Jan 1802 or his brother James Jackson, born 30 Jan 1796. Both of these men are sons of Jesse Jackson, 1761 and Elizabeth Simpson. Both of these mean were in the Haywood Co., Tennessee area before 1850.There was a post on The Jackson Genealogy Group in 2004 seeking information on a Lemuel Jackson:"My line is Lemuel Jackson, b. abt 1840's, married Ann Eliza Davis in
Pasquotank County, NC. Lemuel died in 1867. Brick wall!"
Brenda (bkipper2003)There was a Lemuel Jackson in this line who was mentioned in his father, Zacharias's will mentioned above. He is a brother of Dempsey Jackson. 1790 US Census places a Lemuel Jackson in Pasquotank Co.Now with these few facts and conjecture, I am hoping to stimulate the interest of the folks who submitted the two samples for Jesse Jackson, 1825 and Brenda who hit a brickwall with her Lemuel Jackson to work together to see if this line can be proven by testing yDNA from a descendant of Lemuel Jackson.I am unrelated to this line and actually do not have a "dawg" in this hunt except to gain the satisfaction of knowing the truth.Bob Mitchell
