Person:John Jackson (341)

Notes Contributed by Frank M. Jackson:

"John is identified as his son in the Will of Parmenus Jackson in his will dated 14 Jan 1781. (See Will in his father's Notes.) John is identified as the grandson of Thomas Birdsall in his will dated 8 Sept 1782.

"The 1830 US Census lists a John Jackson, probably this one, living in South Hempstead, Queens Co, NY as head of household with one male between 40 and 50 years and one female between 40 and 50 years. Also two males between 10 and 15 years and two between 15 and 20 years; one female under 5 years,one between 5 and 10 years and one between 10 and 15 years.

"In a deed recorded 21 Feb 1835 (Kings Co, Liber 46: 220) Samuel Jackson deeds real estate to John Jackson.

"John Jackson petitioned the Chancery Court 18 March 1836 on behalf of his thirteen children. He had gotten (described as deeded to John in the 1836 chancery court settlement) a farm property from Samuel Jackson (66 acres in Ward 7, Brooklyn) bounded northerly by the Brooklyn and Bushwick Turnpike (or the Wallabout Bridge Road), westerly by the land of the heirs of John Ryerson, southerly by the Bedford Road, and easterly by the land of Teunis Cowen Coven estimated to be worth $ 33,473.25 or thereabouts. There are two problems. He had difficulty and expense getting the deed for the land from Hamilton H. Jackson, executor for Samuel Jackson. Also, the taxes on the land had increased as well as road assessments due to road construction and he was unable to bear the expense. He earns only a limited income from his farm and he wishes to sell the land in lots and give the money equally to the children to defray costs of their upbringing and education. His children are all named and his infant children (under age 21) are listed with their birth dates. John has a 'life estate' interest in the farm he occupies and his children are to benefit from its sale when he dies.

"In a deed dated 14 May 1838 (Queens Co. NY, Liber VV :126) John Jackson and his wife Margaret of Hempstead, NY sell to Charles Jackson of Hempstead and Stephen C. Jackson, Isaac Jackson, Jacob S. Jackson, Coe D. Jackson, Parmenus Jackson, Richard Jackson and Edward Jackson of Brooklyn for $4,142.69 a farm and tract of land in the Town of Hempstead then occupied by John and Margaret Jackson. The land lies on the southerly side of the South Oyster Bay turnpike bounded as follows: beginning at the northeasterly corner adjoining said turnpike at a stake, running in a straight line on the easterly side of a certain ditch to another stake near a creek that leads from what is called the Mill creek to the west then easterly and southerly by the middle of mill creek that leads out to the creek until it comes to the land of Valentine Hicks then westerly partly by said Hicks land and partly by land of which Obadiah Jackson....

"In a land transaction recorded on 1 April 1844 (Kings Co, Liber 184, 310.) John sells Hay Scale Farms to his children: Isaac Jackson, Charles C. Jackson, Rosetta Jackson, and Fanny Jackson, all of Hempstead and Stephen C. Jackson, Coe D. Jackson, Parmenus Jackson, Richard Jackson, Edward Jackson, Rosannah Baldwin, wife of Bedell Baldwin, Ann Baldwin, wife of Stephen Baldwin , all of Brooklyn and Jacob S. Jackson of New York City for a sum of five thousand dollars. The deed also mentions that John acquired the farm from Samuel Jackson (Liber 46, 220).

"On 16 Sept 1848 John Jackson deeded property (Kings, Liber 184: 310) to Isaac Jackson and Charles Jackson, Rosetta Jackson and Fanny Jackson, Stephen C. Jackson and Coe D. Jackson, Parmenus Jackson and Richard Jackson, Edward Jackson and Jacob Jackson, Rosanna Baldwin and Ann Baldwin, Isaac Jackson and Rosetta Jackson, Fanny Jackson and Stephen C. Jackson. Also to Coe D. Jackson, Richard Jackson and Jacob S. Jackson Margaret Jackson deeded land (possibly with John) to Parmenus Jackson and Edward Jackson and Rosanna Baldwin and Ann Baldwin (Kings Co, Liber 184:310).

"In the 1850 US Census for Hempstead, Queens Co (roll 432_583:172) John Jackson is listed in Queens, Hempstead, as a farmer age 69 with wife, Margaret age 64, and children: Rosetta, age 23, Fanny, age 21 and Parmes, age 12.

"On 23 Feb 1850 the heirs of John Jackson deeded land to Isaac Jackson (Kings Co., Liber 211: 263.); Richard Jackson (Liber 211: 270); Ann Baldwin (Liber 211: 275); Coe D. Jackson (Liber 211: 281); Stephen C. Jackson (Liber 211: 287); Fanny Jackson ( Liber 211: 293); Rosanna Baldwin ( Liber 211: 299); Parmenus Jackson (Liber 211: 305); Edward Jackson ( Liber 211: 311); Rosetta Jackson (Liber 211: 317).
