According to Charlotte & Carol Fisher Megill's article "The Megill Family of Monmouth County," in Genealogies of New Jersey Families from the Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey, GPC, Baltimore (1996), Volume 1, pages 560-7: William Fletcher Megill was living in the household of John and Ann Jackson of Ocean Township in 1870. Mr. Jackson was a grocer, and William clerked in his store.

See also Francis Bazley Lee's Genealogical & Memorial History of the State of New Jersey, Lewis Historical Publishing Company, New York, 1910. Pages 1385 thru 1393 cover the Jackson family of Newark, which descends from a James Jackson who came to the state from Forkhill in County Armagh, Ireland, in the 18th Century.
