Person:Samuel Jackson (88)

From Frank Jackson: "Samuel was one of the wealthiest merchants of his time. He owned a lot of real estate in and around Brooklyn, NY, and unfortunately died intestate. The probate records have gone missing but if they could be found, they would tell us a lot." Samuel died unmarried.

In the book "Kings County, New York Administration Proceedings, 1817-1856", Hamilton H. Jackson, Samuel Jackson's "only nephew " was given Letters of Administration 19 Jun 1832 for Samuel's estate. Samuel's next of kin are listed on page 8 and 9 as "said nephew, Hamilton H. Jackson of Brooklyn, Maria N., Cornelia A. and Christiana A. Jackson (children of an unnamed predeceased brother of the whole blood), Lydia Ann Depeyster, Sally Carll, Catherine Hegeman and Elizabeth White (children of Thomas Jackson, predeceased brother of the whole blood), Samuel J. Underhill, Adonijah Underhill and Mary Willets (children of Mary Underhill predeceased sister of the half blood), and William Jackson and John Jackson (children of Obadiah Jackson predeceased brother of the half blood). (67)"

The unnamed predeceased brother above was John, father of Hamilton, Maria, Cornelia and Christiana. Their brother, James, is not listed and so is presumed deceased.

Samuel, and his brother Tredwell, are mentioned in their grandfather Thomas Tredwell's 1779 will which is posted in his grandfather's Notes.
