Person:Thomas Jackson (128)

Thomas was mentioned in his father's 1820 Will. The Will provides for two sons of Thomas, John and Robert, but does not specify an inheritance for Thomas. The will does not say Thomas was deceased but it is possible.

Found at http://www.royalprovincial.com/genealogy/fems/fams6.shtml: Thomas Tredwell JACKSON describes his experience in capturing the Loyalist post of Fort St. George, Long Island, on the 23rd of November 1780: The poor dogs had not time to rub their eyes, or gasp before they were obliged to cry Quarters. A musical sound. Here was a scene my friend, of war my eyes never beheld nor description cannot equal. The cries of the wounded in the agonies of death. The screeching of the women and children while the parent and friend were entreating pity and compassion, called forth every tender feeling, yet add to these the shouts of the veterans it gives a pleasing lustre to the triumphs of a soldier.
