John Jackson¹

• Last Edited: 6 Dec 2019

• Biography*: John Jackson must have been born in the 1670s, or slightly earlier. His parentage has not been determined.Some say he was the son of John Jackson who died in 1713 in VA.
  
  The first records located regarding him are three land patents. On 22 Feb. 1724 John Jackson was granted 200 acres of new land in Surry County on the north side of Meherrin River below Ralph Jackson by Rocky Run (Patent Bk. 12, p. 162). On 7 July 1726 John Jackson of Surry County was granted 125 acres of new land in Brunswick County on the north side of Reedy Creek (Batent Bk. 12, p. 520). And on 28 Sept. 1728 John Jackson of Surry County was granted 525 acres of new land in Brunswick County on the north side of Reedy Creek (Patent Bk. 14, p. 63).
  
  On 1 Nov. 1733 John Jackson made a deed of gift of 100 acres on Reedy Creek to his son-in-law John Watson, Jr., both being described as of St. Andrew's Parish (Brunswick Co. VA Deeds, Wills &c 1, pp. 83-85). Watson promptly sold this land for on 4-5 May 1737
  
  Lewis Parham of Brunswick County sold to James Parham, Jr., of Surry for £10, 100 acres on the north side of Reedy Creek at the mouth of a great branch, adjoining John Jackson's line and on a branch below where Lewis Parham's old house burned, excepting one-half of a water mill and 42 acres for the use of the mill, describing it as granted to John Jackson and given by him to John Watson and purchased of Watson by Lewis Parham and Matthew Parham jointly (Brunswick Co. VA Deeds, Wills &c 1, pp. 341-343).
  
  On 21 Feb. 1739 John Jackson of Brunswick County sold to Adam Sims of the same county part of a 200 acre patent (of 22 Feb. 1724) to John Jackson between Sims and Jackson. The witnesses were Mary Jackson, Margaret Jackson, Esther Davis and John Chapman (Brunswick co., VA, Deed Bk. 2, p. 29).
  
  John Jackson and his wife Rebecca of Brunswick County on 4-5 Nov. 1742 made deeds of lease and release of 425 acres on the north side of Reedy Creek, granted to John Jackson 28 Sept. 1728 and adjoining James Parham, to Robert Hicks. Both John and Rebecca signed and the witnesses were Edward Tatum, Jesse Tatum and Lucy Jackson. The consideration in the release was £50 (Brunswick co., VA, Deed Bk. 2, p. 192, 194). (Lucy Jackson was their granddaughter-in-law, wife of Peter Jackson.) .
  
  The will of John Jackson was written 22 Feb. 1739/40 and proved on 1 Jan. 1746/7. He left the tract of land on Reedy Creek where he lived to his son Thomas Jackson, along with a Negro woman after his mother's decease and one-half of his sows and pigs that ran on Bearskin Ridge, a heifer and tools and wearing apparel. To his daughter Rebecca Watson (wife of John Watson, Jr.) he gave one heifer and the same bequest was made to his daughter Sarah Jones (wife of Willie Jones). His daughter Jane Bayles was given one heifer and a steel trap. To his daughter Margaret Jackson he gave 50 acres lying below the line lately run between him and Adam Sims. His daughter Anne Lynch was also given one heifer. And to his daughter Mary Jackson, after her mother's death, he gave whatever was left after Adam Sims' purchase and the bequest to Margaret Jackson. Finally, the remainder of his estate was given to his beloved wife Rebecca. The witnesses were Ester Davis, John Chapman and Adam Sims (Brunswick Co. VA Will Bk. 2, p. 127).
  
  The inventory of his estate was recorded 5 Feb. 1746. . On 23 April 1749 Rebecca Jackson, widow, of Brunswick County "to prevent disputes between us and my son Thomas over the will of my late husband John Jackson and for love and affection" gave to him all rights to a Negro boy Ben (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 3, p. 575). .
  
  Rebecca Jackson left a will dated 9 June 1758 and recorded 28 Oct. 1765 in which she left to her daughter Margaret Jackson her entire estate and appointed her sole executor. The witnesses were Adam Sims and Lemuel Lanier (Brunswick Co. VA Will Bk. 3, p. 429). The inventory of her estate was dated 30 Oct 1765 (Brunswick Co. VA Will Bk. 3, p. 440). . On 4 June 1747 Margaret Jackson sold to Sampson Lanier the 50 acres she inherited from her father (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 3, p. 326).

Thomas Jackson¹

• Father: John Jackson b. s 1670, d. c 1746
• Mother: Rebecca (?) b. s 1672

• Biography*: Thomas, son of John Jackson, received his first grant on 12 July 1718, it being for 225 acres of new land in Surry County on both sides of Plantation Branch (Patent Bk. 10, p. 391).
  
  Within the next few years he received additional grants of land in the part of Surry County which became Brunswick County: on 24 Feb. 1724, 325 acres on the north side of Three Creeks by the Plantation Branch, adjoining his own land (Patent Bk. 12, p. 178); on 7 July 1726, 195 acres of new land. Brunswick County on the north side of Reedy Creek (Patent Bk. 12, p. 519), and on 7 July 1726, 250 acres of new land in Brunswick County on the south side of Reedy Creek (Patent Bk. 12, p. 520). In all three of these grants he was described as of Surry County.
  
  A grant to Ralph Jackson on 11 July 1719 on both sides of Plantation Creek adjoined the land of Thomas Jackson (Patent Bk. 10, p. 448), as did a grant to Ambrose Jackson in 1732 described as lying on both sides of Little Creek of the Three Creeks, adjoining James Vaughn, Col. Nathaniel Harrison, John Carter and Thomas Jackson over run at Plantation Branch, part of which was granted Ambrose Jackson 11 July 1719 (Patent Bk. 14, p. 506).
  
  Peter Tatum of Prince George County on 28 Sept. 1728 had a grant of 455 acres in Brunswick County adjoining Thomas Jackson (Patent Bk. 14, p. 76). .
  
  By recorded deeds it is known that Thomas Jackson had two later grants, one of 400 acres on Watery Branch, dated 20 April 1742 (Patent Bk. 19, p. 27) and another for 353 acres on the north side of Watery Branch, dated 1 Oct. 1747 (Patent Bk. 20, p. 290).
  
  By the will of his father John, Thomas inherited land on Reedy Creek where John had lived. . On 2 March 1737 he gave to his son John Jackson of Brunswick County for love and affection a tract containing 130 acres adjoining Henry Hunt; John Duke and Ambrose Jackson. Witnesses were M. Cadet Young and Thomas Wilkinson (Brunswick Co. VA Deeds, Wills &c 1, pp. 390-1). This land was on the south side of Plantation Branch.
  
  On 6 April 1738 he made a deed of gift to his son William Jackson of Brunswick County for love and affection of 125 acres on the west side of Reedy Creek adjoining Ambrose Jackson's line, to Peter Tatum's line. Witnesses were M. Cadet Young and John Brooks, Jr.(Brunswick Co. VA Deeds, Wills &c 1, pp. 401-2). .
  
  On 19 Sept. 1750 Thomas Jackson, Sr., conveyed to Daniel Jackson, both of Brunswick County, for £50, 400 acres patented by Thomas Jackson on 20 April 1742, beginning at Lanier's line to Chamberlain's, to Smith's, to John Jackson. The witness was Jesse Tatum and the deed was acknowledged 25 Sept. 1750. This deed, as others made by Thomas, was signed with his mark, the letter 'T" (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 4, p. 186).
  
  On 26 March 1751 Thomas Jackson conveyed to Ralph Jackson, both of Brunswick County, for £55, 250 acres, part of 325 acres granted by patent to Thomas Jackson, Sr., on 22 Feb. 1724, by Chinkapin Bottom, to the road from Allen's Mill to Meherrin River to Theophilus Fields, to John Ogburn. Witnesses were Sampson Lanier, Mark Howell, and John (X) Jackson, son of Ambrose (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 5, p. 18).
  
  In 1767 Ralph Jackson and Amy his wife of South Carolina sold this land to Daniel and Mary Jackson of North Carolina. The Ralph in this deed is the son of Thomas . There had been another Ralph Jackson in Brunswick County but he was dead by 1714. .
  
  The will of Thomas was written on 15 Aug. 1751 and recorded 24 Sept. 1751. He named as executors his sons John and Daniel and the witnesses were John Jackson, William Collier, Lemuel Lanier and Adam Sims. The will devised to son Thomas five shillings; to son John 400 acres lying on both sides of Cabin Branch and his trooper arms; to son Ralph a Negro boy Dick, and Ralph was to pay his sister Anne Jackson 20 days' work yearly as long as she lived single; to son Daniel a Negro boy Wingo, and Daniel was to pay Anne Jackson 20 days work yearly as long as she lived single; to son Peter the plantation of 250 acres where the testator lived, but Anne was to have full liberty as long as she lived single, and also to Peter a Negro Gaffy and Peter was to pay Anne 20 days' work as above; to daughters Anne Jackson and Mary Rainey 250 acres on the creek adjoining Lemuel Cook's line and the road that lead to Chamberlain's line and the land given to Daniel Jackson; and to grandson Peter Jackson, son of William Jackson, deceased, one cow and a heifer (Brunswick Co. VA Will Bk. 3, p. 28). .
  
  The inventory of Thomas Jackson's estate was dated 1 Jan. 1752 (Brunswick Co. VA Will Bk. 3, p. 48-50). . The name of the wife of Thomas is unknown. She was not mentioned in his will and was most likely dead by 1751. .
  
  On 25 Sept. 1751 Thomas Jackson, son and heir of Thomas, personally appeared in Court and declared he had nothing to object to the validity of his father's will lately proved in court (Brunswick Co. VA Order Bk. 4, p. 109).

John Jackson¹

• Father: Thomas Jackson b. s 1693, d. b 24 Sep 1751

• Biography*: Johns (3) Jackson was born about 1718-20. On 2 May 1737 Thomas (2) deeded to his son John (3) "for love and affection" 130 acres on the south side of Plantation Branch beginning on Henry Hunt's line, then along his own line to John Duke's line, thence along his line to Ambrose Jackson's line, and then back to Hunt's line (Brunswick Co. Deed Bk 1, pp. 390-1). . John (3) Jackson married Elizabeth Lloyd, daughter of Thomas Lloyd. Over the years there has been much debate about which of the two John Jacksons of Brunswick County married Elizabeth Lloyd as both Johns had wives named Elizabeth. A close examination of deeds has proved that John (3) Jackson, son of Thomas (2) was the one who married Elizabeth Lloyd. This John always signed his name on the court records, whereas John (2) son of Ambrose (1), signed with his mark. This fact, which occurred without exception, plus the fact that it was John (3), son of Thomas (2), who sold the land given Elizabeth by her father in the following deed, proves conclusively that it was John (3), son of Thomas (2), who married Elizabeth Lloyd: . On 6 Aug. 1746 Thomas Lloyd the Elder of Brunswick County deeded to "John Jackson the younger" of the same county and "my daughter Elizabeth his wife" 274 acres on Beaver Pond Branch, the residue of 574 acres granted by patent to Thomas Lloyd on 28 Sept. 1728 (Brunswick Co VA Deed Bk. 3, p. 305). John Jackson was called "the younger" because his grandfather John (1) lived until the year this deed was recorded. . The following year, on 12 Oct. 1747, John Jackson sold to Henry Morris, both of Brunswick Co., Va., 274 acres on Beaver Pond Branch, the same being the land which was heretofore given and conveyed "to the said John Jackson by Thomas Lloyd the Elder" by deed of gift 7 Aug. 1746 (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 3, p. 450). This deed was signed by John. It was witnessed by James Clack, Adam Sims and H. C. Clack. In November of the same year the other John, son of Ambrose, sold land and the deed was signed with his mark. . On 17 Oct. 1752 John (3) and Elizabeth sold to Peter Butts of Nottoway Parish, Southampton County, 130 acres on the east side of Plantation Branch, part of a larger tract granted to Thomas (2) Jackson, 12 July 1718. John signed and Elizabeth made her mark. Witnesses were Daniel Jackson, Peter Jackson and John Butts (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 5, p. 261). This 130 acres was the land that Thomas gave to his son John on 2 May 1737. . Besides the 130 acres in the above deed, John also inherited from his father 400 acres on both sides of Cabin Branch upon the death of his father in 1751. The will of his brother Peter Jackson, written 20 Sept. 1757, also devised "To beloved brother John Jackson the tract of land and plantation whereon I now live if he should live to return from the journey that he is now gone. In case my brother John does not return then it is my will my brother Daniel shall have same" (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 3, p. 422). This is the land Peter was given by his father, Thomas . . John returned safely from his journey and Peter did not live long after writing his will. On 24 June 1765 John (3) and Elizabeth of St. Andrew's Parish, Brunswick County, sold to William Malone, Jr., of Sussex County all that tract of land adjoining Henry Cook, William Rainey and Daniel Jackson that "Peter Jackson, late of said county, devised to John Jackson by will." Nathaniel Malone and William Vaughn were witnesses and again John Signed and Elizabeth made her mark (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 8, p. 151). By the will of Thomas 2, Anne Jackson was to have full liberty to the place he devised to his son Peter until she married; so it would seem that she was married by 1765, possibly to Wainwright. . On 26 April 1760 John bought from Adam Sims and his wife Elizabeth for £15 100 acres, part granted Sims by deed from Samuel Chamberlain 9 June 1744, beginning at corner of Hunt's line, to John Jackson's line, etc. The deed was witnessed by William Chapman, John James and B. Chapman (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 6, p. 511). . Sixteen years later on 24 June 1776 John sold this same land to Edmund Wilkins, described now as adjoining John Hunt, Wm. Sims, Wm. Finch, Smith, Simmons, James Mason and Nathan Jackson (son of Daniel Jackson), which Samuel Chamberlain conveyed to Adam Sims 19 June 1744 and Sims to John Jackson 26 April 1760. The deed was signed by John Jackson and witnessed by Will Machen and Ben Hicks (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 12, p. 61). . John (3) had now disposed of his last piece of property and does not appear again in the Brunswick County records. He and Elizabeth must have left the county or moved in with one of their children. . The names of his children are unknown, but one of his daughters married Robert Lanier 9 Sept. 1759 with Peter Jackson as security and Daniel Jackson, Jr., as witnesses.

Thomas Jackson Jr.¹

• Father: Thomas Jackson b. s 1693, d. b 24 Sep 1751

• Last Edited: 19 Oct 2000

• Biography*: Thomas Jackson, Jr. patented 385 acres in Brunswick County on 20 July 1738 (Patent Bk. 18, p. 67) and another 217 acres in Brunswick County in the fork of Bearskin Creek on 12 Jan. 1747 (Patent Bk. 26, p. 154). Other grants to Thomas Jackson, Jr., are mentioned in a later deed, but since a third Thomas Jackson was grown by 1760 it is difficult to know which of three Thomases received them. . No record has been found indicating that Thomas was ever given land by his father but he owned land on the north side of Reedy Creek in 1749 as shown by a deed from Peter Tatum to his son on 26 Dec. 1749. The land in this deed is described as 389 acres in Brunswick County on the north side of Reedy Creek beginning at Thomas Jackson, Jr.'s corner elm on said creek to John Jackson's corner. Thomas Jackson, Jr., was one of the witnesses with John Douglas and Moses Dunckley (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 3, p. 623).
  
  On 26 June 1753 Thomas Jackson of St. Andrew's Parish, Brunswick County, conveyed 150 acres on the north side of Reedy Creek to William Liles and Ann his wife for love and affection, "both for love of said son-in-law and said Ann my daughter and in consideration of a marriage to be solemnized between Liles and Ann" (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 5, p. 419).
  
  Ann and William Liles moved to Granville Co., N.C., where his will, written 30 July 1800, was recorded at a court held in Aug. 1805. The will named the following children: Thomas Liles, Jackson Liles, Mark Liles, Samuel Liles, Sally Glendenning, Sandal Liles, Charlotte Fort, Clary Bennett, and son-in-law Nathan Jackson [son of Danie13 Jackson who died in 1760]. Executors were his four sons Thomas, Jackson, Mark and Samuel. The witnesses were Henry Cocke, James Taylor and Nathaniel Moore (Granville Co., NC, Will Bk. 6, pp. 203-205. An account of sales of his estate is in Will Bk. 6, pp. 231-33.) . Ann was probably dead by 1800 as she is not named in her husband's will. . On 12 Nov. 1759 Thomas (3) Jackson, Sr., conveyed to Thomas (4) Jackson, Jr., both of Brunswick County, for £10, 200 acres on Deep Branch of Reedy Creek (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 6, p. 426). Thomas (3) has now become Senior as his son Thomas (4), the third of the name, had reached manhood. . On 27 April 1761 Thomas (3) Jackson conveyed to Daniel (4) Jackson, both of Brunswick County, for 5 shillings, 265 acres beginning at Liles Siring Branch (Brunswick Co VA Deed Bk. 6, p. 678). . On 27 April 1761 Thomas (3) Jackson also conveyed to Samuel Jackson, both of Brunswick County, for 5 shillings, 280 acres beginning at Hall's line and running to Harwell corner and to Broadnax (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 6, p. 677). These two deeds appear to be deeds of gift. The witnesses to both were John Jones, Francis Young and James Ransom. Although there is nothing in these deeds to indicate a relationship, the fact they were made on the same day with the same men as witnesses suggests that Daniel and Samuel were nephews of Thomas and sons of his recently deceased brother, Daniel. The fact, too, that Daniel, brother of Thomas, died in 1760, the year before, leaving the Daniel of the above deed of gift as the only one of that name in the county lends even more credence to this suggestion. . Samuel (4) Jackson of the above deed of gift married Mary King 24 Sept. 1759. She was the daughter of Joseph King of Halifax Co., N.C., whose will, in that county, was dated 20 Feb. 1770 and probated in Bute Co., N. C. He named a minor son Ransom and a daughter Mary Jackson (Bute Co. NC Will Bk. A, p. 219). Samuel and Mary Jackson were also in Bute Co., N.C. . At the same time in Brunswick County there was a William Jackson of the same generation as Daniel and Samuel whose identity is undetermined. This William could have been a son of either Daniel (3), Sr., or Thomas (3) Jackson. . William (4) married Susannah Randle, daughter of William Randle who made his will on 19 Oct. 1770, proved 22 April 1771, in which he named his daughter Susannah Jackson (Brunswick Co. VA Will Bk 4, p. 67). William Jackson made his will 6 March 1781, proved 26 March 1781, and named sons Thomas, Nathaniel, Gray, Benjamin and John "when he comes of age", three daughters, and a grandson James Edwards. . On 23 Feb. 1778 Nathaniel Jackson sold to James Mason 400 acres adjoining Mason and lands of Pelham, John Jackson and Edwards. This land was granted to Thomas Jackson on 20 May 1742 and came by sundry conveyances to Nathaniel. There was no witness. The deed was acknowledged on 25 Feb. 1778 (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk 13, p. 49). This was the 400 acres that Thomas (2) sold to his son Daniel in 1760 and the land Daniel devised to his son Nathan in his 1760 will. . It was Nathaniel (5) Jackson, son of the above William (4) who sold land in Brunswick County to Jacomiah Randle of King William County on 18 March 1760. The deed was witnessed by Peter Jackson, William Randle and Jacob Woolsey. This Peter was probably the same Peter (4) Jackson who, along with Samuel Jackson, witnessed a deed made in 1772 by William, John and Peter Randle for land on the Main Branch of Rocky Run (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 10, p. 336). . It also appears that it was Thomas (5), son of the above William Jackson, who with his wife Clary on 5 Nov. 1771 for £90 sold to John Jones 282 acres. This land adjoined Daniel Fisher, Tatum, James Brewer and Edward Saunders on Rattlesnake Creek. Both Thomas and Clary signed by name and acknowledged on 20 Nov. 1771 (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 10, p. 297). Daniel Jackson, Jr., sold land to Daniel Fisher in 1764. . On 26 Nov. 1785 Thomas Jackson and his wife Lurany, both of Brunswick County, conveyed to Owen Myrick, for $120, 300 acres which Thomas bought from Thomas Claiborne in 1782 (Brunswick Co. VA Order Bk 2, p. 327). The witnesses were James Fletcher, William Ward, Thomas Howard and Joel Manning (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk 14, p. 148). This land was located on Little Rattlesnake Creek on Owen Myrick's line. Thomas and Luraney signed their names. It is believed this Thomas, now married to Lurany, is the same Thomas who was married to Clary at the time of the preceeding deed. It is also thought that this Thomas with wifes (1) Clary and (2) Luraney was the son of William Jackson who named a son Thomas in his will in 1781. . To go back to the subject of this section, Thomas (3) Jackson, son of the Thomas who died in 1751, it is clear that more work needs to be done on his family. From 1761 both Thomas arid Thomas (4) Jackson appear in the deed records of Brunswick County with little to distinguish one from the other. However, Thomas (3) always signed his name while Thomas (4), rear the end of his life, signed with an "X". Thomas (4) can also be identified after 1778 as the name of his wife, Sarah, appears on the records involving this Thomas. Sarah may have been Sarah Harwell a daughter of Samuel Harwell and his wife Abigail, who was a daughter of Ann (2) Jackson (Ambrose (1)) and an older Samuel Harwell. . There were several marriages between the Harwell and Jackson families which created close ties between the line of Thomas (3) Jackson, Jr., and that of Ambrose (1) Jackson, Sr., beginning with the marriage of Ann Jackson to "Little" Samuel Harwell. These marriages and that of Ann, widow of Ambrose, to Hincha Mabry resulted in several lawsuits involving these families. Upon her death Ann Jackson Mabry willed to Abigail Harwell, her granddaughter, the slave Dinah and her increase. Dinah had been devised to Ann by her first husband, Ambrose Jackson Sr. Dinah had twins .and Hincha Mabry gave one to "Little' Samuel Harwell, father of Abigail. After Abigail's marriage to "Long" Samuel Harwell, he sued Mabry for the second twin. Witnesses included Thomas Jackson and Henry Jackson, Jr., who later married Ann Mabry, the youngest child of Hincha Mabry by his third wife, Ann (Clack) Courtney, who survived him. Ann Mabry was the only heir of her mother who died in 1772. In that same year Henry Jackson, Jr., and his wife sued the Mabry estate for her share of the slaves left by Hincha Mabry. The Mabrys lost all the suits (Brunswick Co. VA Order Bk. 11, p. 459, and Order Bk. 12, p. 287) . On 23 Jan. 1763 Thomas (3) Jackson along with Nathaniel Tatum witnessed a deed of gift from Joseph Tatum, Sr., to Nathaniel Tatum of 150 acres adjoining Thomas Jackson on Reedy Creek (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 7, p. 457). This land is next to the land Thomas Jackson owned in 1749. . On 23 April 1764 Thomas (3) Jackson, Thomas (4) Jackson, Jr., John Jones, Tom Butler and Mark Jackson sold to Thomas Twitty for £200 slaves, cattle and household furniture. The witnesses were Richard Lanier William Brown and John Tilman (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 7, p. 209). On 4 Nov. 1764 Thomas (3) Jackson Senr., of Brunswick County, sold to John Jones, Gent., for £500, 282 acres "whereon Thomas Jackson lives," on the west side of Reedy Creek. The witnesses were John Clack, William Hall and Burwell Robinson (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk 8, p. 103). The latter deed was probably executed before the one just above and recorded at a later date. This would explain the involvement of John Jones along with the others in the first deed. . No explanation is found as to why Mark Jackson is involved in the 1764 sale to Thomas Twitty. Neither is it known why Tom Butler is included. More confusion is added when one remembers the Thomas Jackson, with wife Clary, who sold 282 acres on Little Rattlesnake Creek to John Jones in 1771. . Thomas (3) Jackson does not appear again in the Brunswick County records until 8 June 1780 when Thomas Jackson of the Province of South Carolina sold to Mark Jackson of Brunswick County 730 acres he had by patent 7 July 1763. The witnesses were Henry Bishop, Icabod Marshall and Cary Jameson. . It thus appears that Thomas (3) followed or accompanied his brother Ralph to South Carolina, where he died sometime after the 1780 deed was executed.

• Biography*: There is no recorded deed of gift by Thomas (2) Jackson to his son Peter. However, in his will written in 1751, Thomas devised to "son Peter Jackson the plantation I now live on." Anne Jackson, Peter's sister, was "to have full liberty as long as she remains single." . Peter died unmarried. His will was written 20 Sept. 1757 and was recorded 25 May 1765.12 He devised to "beloved brother John Jackson if he should live to return from the journey that he has now gone" the tract of land and plantation where he lived and, if John did not return, to his brother Daniel; to "well beloved brother, Ralph" a Negro fellow Guffey; to his sister Anne £5; to Daniel the remainder of his estate. Peter appointed his brothers Ralph and Daniel to be executors. The witnesses were John Maclin, Le'll [Lemuel] Lanier, Elizabeth Jackson and "John Jackson son of Ambrose." This John lived adjoining Peter; the witness Elizabeth Jackson was no doubt John's wife. . Ralph refused to act as executor and, as Daniel had died in 1760, their brother John, having returned from his journey, was appointed administrator of Peter's estate (Brunswick Co. VA Will Bk. 3, p. 424).

Ralph Jackson

• Father: Thomas Jackson b. s 1693, d. b 24 Sep 1751

• Last Edited: 17 Feb 2003

• Biography*: There were two men in Brunswick County by the name of Ralph Jackson. The older one died in 1745 before the death in 1751 of the father of the Ralph now under discussion. . On 26 March 1751, approximately five months before Thomas (2) Jackson wrote his will and six months before his death, he deeded to his son Ralph 250 acres in Brunswick County which was part of a patent to Thomas dated 22 Feb. 1724. This land was described in the deed as being in Chinkapin Bottom on the road from Allen's Mill to the Meherrin River, to Theopholus Field's line, to John Ogburn's. The witnesses were Sampson Lanier and James Vaughn (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 5, p. 18). The original grant was for 325 acres "on the north side of Little Creek of the Three Creeks side of Plantation Branch" adjoining his [Thomas (2)'s] own land and James Vaughn (Patent Bk. 12, p. 178). . On 22 Oct. 1764 Ralph (3) Jackson deeded the same 250 acres to Daniel Jackson for £100. The witnesses were Thomas Jackson, Jr., James Wilson and John Raley (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 9, p. 307). The Daniel Jackson in this deed was Daniel (4), Jr., as Daniel (3), brother of Ralph was dead by 1760. . Subsequent to the above transaction Ralph (3), Jackson went to South Carolina and Daniel (4) Jackson, Jr., went to North Carolina as proved by the following deed: 23 Jan. 1767, Ralph Jackson and Amy his wife of the Province of South Carolina and Daniel Jackson [Jr.] and Mary his wife of the Province of North Carolina sold to John Robinson of Brunswick County for £150 the same 250 acres, part of a patent to Thomas Jackson, 22 Feb. 1724, since conveyed by Ralph Jackson to Daniel Jackson on 5 Oct. 1764, called Chinkapin Bottom, adjoining Benjamin Simmons. Witnesses were Douglas and Edmund Wilkins and Thomas Sisson (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 9, p. 77) . According to a recent history of Union Co., SC (Union Co. Heritage) Ralph Jackson and his wife Amy came to South Carolina from Brunswick Co., Va., about 1767 and he obtained a grant of land on the Tyger River. They had four sons, Ralph, Jr., Nathaniel, Frederick and William. Ralph, Sr., died in 1783 and administration records of his estate are to be found in Abbeville District Court. Ralph, Jr., and Frederick Jackson, his sons, and Thomas Scales acted as administrators. At the death of Amy Jackson, wife of Ralph, Sr., in 1794, William and Frederick Jackson signed the administrator's bond and Ralph, Jr.,, was administrator of the estate. . Ralph Jackson, Jr., died in 1817 and his will was recorded on 23 April 1817. Union Co., S.C., Will Bk. A, p. 34; Probate Box 9, package 20. A letter written in 1886 by Isaac Murphy to a nephew in Utah (in Family History Library, Salt Lake City, Utah) tells of relationships between the Murphy and the Duke and Jackson families. Delilah Murphy was born about 1756. The same letter states a younger Daniel Jackson, who married Eddie White, was living in Cherokee Co., Ga., in 1886 with six children, Martha, Susannah, James, Henry, Sarah Ann and Delilah Jackson. A Gideon Jackson who married Mildred White in 1824 is mentioned. Their children were Elizabeth, Jane, James and Littlebury. . His [Ralph's] wife Delilah was daughter of Simon (Sion) and Sarah Duke Murphy and had the following children: Simon, Nathan, Frederick, Lavina, Sarah, Delilah, Peter, Harriet and Elizabeth. . The first wife of Nathaniel, son of Ralph, Sr., was Drusilla, by whom he had Nancy, Betsy, Gideon, Littleberry B. and Jesse. By his second wife he had Cary W., James, Thomas and Elizabeth. . The estate of Frederick, son of Ralph Jackson, Sr., was administered by his son-in-law Benjamin Holcombe. Frederick married (1) Mary Greer by whom he had Sarah, Susanna, Mary, Nancy, Edith and Jesse. By his second wife, Tabitha, he had Nathaniel, Ralph, William and John. . William, son of Ralph, Sr., married Martha Smith and had John, Liddy, Cassandre, Susan, Mark, Daniel, William, Jr., Amy and Nancy. There were two other daughters, one of whom married Richard Hayes and another who married William Wilbanks.

Daniel Jackson¹

• Father: Thomas Jackson b. s 1693, d. b 24 Sep 1751

• Last Edited: 6 Oct 2000

• Biography*: On 25 Sept. 1750 Thomas Jackson sold to Daniel for £50, 400 acres he had by patent 20 May 1742, joining Lanier, Chamberlain, Smith and John Jackson. Jesse Tatum witnessed the deed (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 4, p. 186). . By his will in 1751 Thomas (2) gave to his son Daniel Jackson his Negro boy Wingo with the stipulation that Daniel pay his sister, Anne Jackson, twenty days' work yearly so long as she remained single. . According to his will, written 6 May 1760 and proved 28 July 1760, Daniel (3) Jackson, Senr., gave to his son Nathan Jackson the plantation "that I now live on" with 400 acres of land and all improvements; to Bethiah Jackson his wife he gave the use of the property during her life or widowhood and the use of the Negro man Mingo; the residue was to be divided between his wife and children (unnamed). He appointed "brother" John Jackson and "my wife Bethiah Jackson" as executors. The witnesses were Eleanor Jackson, Anna Wainwright and. John Jackson (Brunswick Co. VA Will Bk. 3, p. 325). . Daniel Jackson's reference to himself as Daniel Jackson Senr. indicates there was a son Daniel, Jr. The will did not indicate that the children were minors. A younger Daniel, presumably Daniel (4) Jackson, Jr., was grown by 1760. It was to him that his uncle, Thomas (3) Jackson, gave 265 acres adjoining William Lyles in 1761. No relationship was mentioned, however (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 6, p. 678). In 1765 Daniel sold this same 265 acres to Daniel Fisher of Southampton Co., Va (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 7, p. 526). . A few months later, on 22 Oct. 1764, Daniel (4) bought from Ralph (3) Jackson 250 acres which was part of the 400 acre tract patented by his grandfather Thomas (2) in 1724 and by him given to Ralph (3) (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 9, p. 307). Three years later, when Daniel, Jr., was in North Carolina and Ralph (3) was in South Carolina, they with their wives joined in the sale of the game 250 acres to John Robinson of Brunswick County (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 9, p. 77, dated 23 Jan 1767). . Thomas Sisson, who was one of the witnesses to this 1767 transaction was a son and heir of Stephen Sisson who also witnessed the signing in 1767. Stephen Sisson died before 1773 leaving a wife Bethial and children. Bethial, who was named administratrix of the estate, may well have been the widow of Daniel (3) Jackson, Sr., who died in 1760. She later married Stephen Sisson. A daughter of Stephen Sisson married Lewis (5) Jackson, son of Thomas (4). Lewis and his wife filed suit against Bethial as administratrix of Stephen Sisson's estate and were successful in winning guardianship of Lucy Sisson, daughter of Bethial and her husband Stephen Sisson, with Thomas (4) Jackson and Lazarus Williams as securities. Lewis (5) Jackson named his second son Stephen Jackson. . Nathan (4), son of Daniel (3) Jackson, on 25 Feb. 1778 sold to James Mason for £250, the 400 acres adjoining Mason, Peter Pelham, John (3) Jackson (son of Thomas) and Edmund Wilkins, being all of the tract of land that Thomas Jackson had by patent 20 May 1742. The witnesses were Douglas and Edmund Wilkins, Steven Sisson and John J. Wa11 (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 13, p. 48). This was the 400 acres that Thomas (2) sold to his son Daniel (3) in 1750 and the same land that Daniel devised to his son Nathan (4) in his 1760 will. . Nathan married a daughter of William Liles and his wife Ann Jackson, daughter of Thomas (3) who died sometime after he went to South Carolina where he was living when he sold the remainder of his land in Brunswick County in 1780. Nathan and his wife Ann Liles were, therefore, first cousins. . It was Nathan (4) Jackson who sold land in Brunswick County to Jacomiah Randle of King William County on 18 March 1760. The deed was witnessed by Peter Jackson, William Randle and Jacob Woolsey. This Peter was probably a son of William (4) Jackson and the same Peter Jackson who, along, with Samuel Jackson, witnessed a deed in 1772 made by sons of Jacomiah Randle to land on the Main Branch of Rocky Run, the same land Nathan (4) sold to him in 1760 (Brunswick Co. VA Deed Bk. 10, p. 165) . It was the above Samuel (4) Jackson who married Mary King, the bond being dated 24 Sept. 1759. She was the daughter of Joseph King of Halifax Co., N.C., whose will was dated 20 Feb. 1770 and probated in Bute Co., N.C. (Bute Co., NC Will Bk. A, p. 20). It named a minor son Ransom and a daughter Mary Jackson. Samuel and Mary Jackson were also in Bute County. . William (4) Jackson, son of Daniel (3), married Susannah Randle, daughter of William Randle who made his will 19 Oct. 1770, proved 22 April 1771, in which he named his daughter Susannah Jackson (Brunswick Co. VA Will Bk. 4, p. 67 -- note: no proof is provided for this son William, or for his marriage. Susannah Jackson probably married Peter Jackson, rather than this William (Lew Griffin)). . William (4) made his will 6 March 1781, proved 26 March 1781, and named sons Thomas (5), Nathaniel (5), Gray (5), Benjamin (5), and John (5), "when he comes of age 21," three daughters and a grandson James Edwards. . There were several Jackson-Randle marriages in Brunswick County. Later Randles were in North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama along with the Jacksons.
