Person:Ephraim Jackson (17)

Bunn Family History, page 58, 59: "Ephraim Blackman Jackson, born 10 September 1741 in the portion of Fairfield now Redding, lived in the latter town until after 1775. He enlisted 12 July 1775 as a private in the Tenth Company, commanded by Captain Eli Leavenworth, Seventh Regiment, under Colonel Charles Webb, Connecticut militia, which was reorganized under Webb in 1776 and adopted as a Continental Regiment. During the summer of 1775 the companies of this regiment were stationed along the shore of the sound in guard duty. Later, the regiment was ordered to the Boston camps, as part of Sullivan's Brigade and continued on Winter Hill until discharged at close of enlistment, 10 December 1775. Ephraim Jackson must have removed soon after from Redding. He may have lived for some time in Stephentown, Rensselaer County, New York, but died in Addison, Vermont, where he took the freeman's oath in 1801. The early settlers of that section were driven out by the depredations of Tories and Indians, and it is probable that Jackson was among these. The History of Redding says he went to Addison.

"In 1897 his [Ephraim Blackman Jackson's] grandson, Andrew Jackson, was living in Addison and stated that his (Andrew's) father was born in Stephentown. Redding records show that Hezekiah, father of Andrew, was baptized 27 February 1774, the last child of Ephraim baptized in that Town. Ephraim married 26 June 1766 Martha Hull, who was baptized 19 February 1751 in Redding, daughter of Daniel and Mary (Betts) Hull. Their eldest child, Aaron Jackson, baptized 1 November 1767, married Anna Treadwell, and they were parents of Polly Ann Jackson, wife of Peter Bunn."
