   -----
   [janiejac Note: Although this document wasn't recorded until 1692, it proves that Samuel JACKSON was a resident of Stafford County at some time before April 1683, probably a year or more earlier, when the bill of sale for the mare was signed. (This case must have started out in Stafford County court before being appealed to the General Court in Jamestown. Samuel was apparently a witness to the original contract.) The records for Stafford between 1668 and 1686 are mostly lost except for a few scraps, 1671-72 and 1680, in which Samuel JACKSON's name is not found. From this 1683 document it can be stated that Samuel was probably born prior to 1662. It appears he is an associate (a relative?) of John BLAKMAN.

   Samuel had to be at least 21 yrs old; agrees with 1683 document above that his birth was probably prior to 1662. There is no transcription of this deed but see description in the later 1766 deed which mentions these 200 acres being sold by "Samuel's grandson" Francis Jackson to Tebbs. The 1766 deed give a bit more description of this land saying part of a tract "lying upon Quantiquot Creek and Powells Run in County of Prince William". It is also said to be in Dettingen Parish. And Patricia Wink speaks of "the area of Quantico Creek & Powell's Run, which is at the border of Stafford County & Prince William County.]
