1694-1743 Quotes from the book "Prince William A Story of its People and Places, WPA, 1941, Pg 27: "Along the branches of Quantico Creek and the north branches of Chopawamsic, the following men took up patents between 1694 and 1743: William Bennett, Samuel Jackson, Abraham Farrow, Thomas Harrison, Robert Headges, William Halley, Henry Lucas, Henry Halley, Francis Jackson, Wansford Arrington, Philemon Waters, John Ashmore, John Farrow, John McMillan, William Spiller, Charles Green, and Bertrand Ewell."

1688 13 Feb Bill of Sale SAMUELL JACKSON giveath unto his Daughter ELIZABETH JACKSON one horse.
(Could a minor own a horse? If she's 21 and he was 25 when he married, Samuel could have been born by 1642. If he lived to age 80, he was prob deceased by 1722. Of course, he could have been a lot older when Elizabeth was born.)

(At one time this Samuel was being considered as a possible son of Robert Jackson of Hempstead, Queens Co., New York. Robert Jackson of Hempstead left a will mentioning his son Samuel, but nothing beyond an estimated birth date of 1645-1647 is known about him. When three Jackson descendants that were all of the I2-M223 subgroup took the Big Y test [at FTDNA], the direct male descendant of Robert Jackson proved to be in a special haplogroup Y8945 and the direct male descendant of Samuel Jackson of Virginia was classified as Y7219. Thus indicating that their most recent common ancestor was not in the mid 1600s as required to be a son of Robert Jackson but earlier in the mid 1500s. So Samuel's parentage remains unknown.)

1694 25 Sep 200A was conveyed by said Andrew GIBSON to Samuel JACKSON 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. On the 1766 deed this land is said to be in Dettingen Parish.

Tebbs Signed Francis Jackson. (#?) According to 1788 doc, this Francis is NOT the same Francis who had land adjoining Samuel 1694. The Francis selling this land is Samuel 1694's grandson. (see next 1766)

*1766 Mar 4 Francis Jackson leases 300 acres in Dettingen Parish PWC. This 300 adjoins land he already has there and also adjoins land of John Farrow (NOT John Farrow Jackson!) and Swan Jones. (Transcription is an abstract only. Janie rec'd from Jack.)

1778 May 26 In the same company with Reuben Calvert were George Calvert, who also died, and Zeal Calvert who later settled in Mason County, Kentucky. The Inventory and Appraisement of Reuben Calvert can be found in Wills G. p. 7. Dated May 26, 1778. In obedience to the order of Prince William Court we, FRANCIS JACKSON, Charles Cornwell, and Chas. Stewart Being Duly Sworn to Appraise & Value the Estate of Reuben Calvert, Decd. so appraise the following articles..... (Descendants of Virginia Calverts Book 1, Part II, pg 87)

*1778 Nov 2 Francis JACKSON makes a gift deed to 'my son Samuel. . . 242 acres I believe this is the land Samuel (Will 1815) leaves to his wife Mary saying it is land his father gave to him, of land in County of Prince William on a branch of Occoquan River called the Cabin Branch' . . . and follows is the legal description of the land which includes all houses, buildings and tenements and says that Samuel was currently living on the land. Francis' wife Sarah was examined privetly and consented to the deed. Sarah signed or made her mark as Sarah C. Jackson. (By 1781 Sarah is not mentioned in Francis' will.) (this deed is #7 on Scott's list but we didn't order it. I found it online here:
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=princewmcounty&id=I05779 )

See 1799 deed wherein Francis Jackson, s/o Francis and Sarah Ridley sells land he has inherited from his mother Sarah Ridley who received it from her father, William Ridley. This deed spells out the relationships. The 1799 deed mentions that his parents Francis Jackson and Sarah Ridley are deceased but does not say when they died.

1779 Feb 1 Frances Jackson leases to Joshua Carney 90A more or less for 20 years. If there was a release to go with this, we don't have it.

1779 14 October The Magazine of Virginia Genealogy, Vol., 30, No 3, pgs 180, 181 and 182 gives a list of petitioners of Prince William County, County, Virginia. I have culled the names of all Jacksons who signed the petition as of 14, October 1779.
Saml Jackson pg 180 son of Francis who died 1781/2
Francis Jackson, Jr. pg 180 could be s/o Samuel 1694
Francis Jackson pg 180 Will 1781/2
Francis Jackson, Younger pg 180 son of Francis who died 1781/2
George Jackson pg 181 s/o Sam 1785
John Jackson pg 181 s/o Sam 1785
Samll Jackson pg 181 wrote his will in 1785
Samll Jackson, Junr pg 181 s/o Sam 1785
There are no Jacksons on page 182. So there were 3 men named Samuel, 3 men named Francis, 1 George and 1 John. Dates are my attempt to tie these names to document dates in this list.

*1781 Sep 6 Samuel Jackson Jr. buys slaves Eve, James & Addam in 3 sep Bills of Sale. (I have marked on #7, 7A & #8)

1782 Jan 7 Zacharias Jackson is dec'd. Bond is posted; Sam'l Jackson JR, and Wm Fielder are executors. (#4)

*1782 Jan 7 Francis Jackson is dec'd; Bond Samuel Jr & Wm Fielder Executors, Stephen Howison and John McMillion join in bond. Page 220 PWC Bond Book by Turner (2-149) Note that a Stephen L. Howison is later in 1836 appointed guardian of the children of George Washington Jackson, grandson of Francis. It is unlikely that it is the same Stephen but is likely related someway.

1782 Dec 2 (2-154) Page 220 PWC Bond Book by Turner
George Jackson signed bond for Benjamin Mattison executor of will of Truman Higgs:

1782 Land Tax Record PWC but I don't have source: There is no Jackson listed but I do see Isaac & Wm Farrow, Wm Lynn & Estate of Lewis Reno among others. But note 1783 Jacksons are on Personal Property Tax Records.

1783 Quotes from the book "Prince William A Story of its People and Places, WPA, 1941
Appendix A: A list of Taxpayers in Prince William County in 1783 Compiled from Personal Property Tax Records: page 205
"Francis Jackson, Samuel Jackson, Samuel Jackson Jr., Samuel Jackson." These are the only Jacksons listed for that tax year.

1784 Apr 9 A Samuel Jackson witnessed a deed for John Wright Vickers PWC 80A to Jas Webster. Said land was Willed by Richard Wright, dec'd to two eldest sons of John Vickers and adjoins lands of James Webster, John Murray dec'd, Joseph Wright and Isaac Farrow. (Neither Richard nor Joseph Wright are in my PAF file as related to Reuben Wright who m Kessiah Jackson.)

1784 Tax List There are two listing at ancestry.com for a Ruth Jackson hoh, both in 1784; no township listed.

*1785 Jan 29 Samuel Jackson wrote his will. He names the following heirs. Note he puts Jr after both Samuel and George!

• son Francis (gets slaves Jacob, Jan, Leana) Sure would like to have his will. I wonder if the distribution of Samuel's est is available?
  
• grandson George
  
• grand son Samuel
  
• granddau Susaner
  
• gramddau Margret
  
• granddau Nancy
  
• son Samuel Jr. (gets slaves Easter, Cate, Billey, James, Fancy)
  
• grandson Charles (see 1792 lease) Samuel sells Cate in 1790!
  
• son George Jr., executor
  
• grandson Samuel
  
• son John, executor
  
• dau Nancy Jackson Roch (gets slaves Milley, Sue, Sharderick) married James Roach - see 1790

*1786 Mar 6 Above Samuel Jackson 1785 is dec'd. John Jackson, George Jackson, John Calvert, John Redmon and James Greenstad are bonded; John and George Jackson are executors (Scott's #6; we already have) Will is recorded WB G 1778-1791. The will was witnessed by Isaac Murphy, Benjamin Mattison and Thomas Mattison. Will provided by Donald Wilson , Virginiana Librarian, at RELIC, Prince William Public Library System, Bull Run Regional Library, Manassas, VA. Cindy McC Posted the inventory recorded *4 April 1786, recorded WB G, pp. 340-342 PWC. In this inventory Samuel is called Samuel Jackson Senior. The appraisers were John Calvert, Redman & Benjamin Mattison/ The inventory is found here:
http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.virginia.counties.princewilliam/2841/mb.ashx See 1790 where Samul executor is selling ? to John Calvert. I'm wondering if John Calvert is husband of one of the granddaughters???

1788 Feb 18 Indenture, Willoughby TEBBS and Samuel TEBBS of the town of Dumfries, Prince William Co., VA, surviving executors of Foushee TEBBS...................... which 200 acres of land hereby intended to be sold by an Indenture of Feoffment 25 Sep 1694 was conveyed by said Andrew GIBSON to Samuel JACKSON & either by devise or descent the same devolved upon Francis JACKSON the grandson of said Samuel which said Francis JACKSON made a conveyance thereof to sell to Foushee TEBBS by deeds of lease & release 6 Oct 1766. (# look this up) Samuel recd 200A from Gibson 1694
Unknown this has to be Francis 1781 BUT NO, THERE IS PROB HERE; RECORDS SHOW JOHN AS SON OF THIS SAMUEL
1766 Francis sold 200A to Tebbs We don't know how old Francis was in 1788, but he was over 18 & under 21 in 1781
Note copied from 1792 doc below: "1766 there are deeds of lease and release of a tract of land between Francis Jackson and Thomas Borston, that could very well have been this tract or near it."

1788 John Calvert died before Jun 9, 1788, on which date his Inventory was taken by William Alexander, Benjamin Materson, Scarlet Madden and James Gwatkins. The inventory was recorded September 1, 1788. (For account of John Calvert estate, see No. 32. Part I.) From this account it will be noted that the three sons-in-law and Francis Calvert received the same amount as per their accounts. From this sameness it is inferred that Francis Calvert was also a son-in-law instead of a son.
JOHN REDMAN was the administrator and Elizabeth Calvert, the widow, was administrix. (Descendants of Virginia Calverts Book 1, Part II, pgs 80, 81)

*1790 April 2 Samuel Jackson (Bill of Sale) buys 204A from Charles Gray, Edward Higs & Francis Reno. On the waters of Occoquan & the waters of Powell's Run. (#5) (Scott's #11)

*1790 Oct 1 Samuel Jackson gives Bill of Sale to John Jackson et al (#6) Samuel sells slaves Cate, Will & Cave, 12 head catter, 3 horse, FIVE feather beds & furniture, & crops to John & George Jackson, John Calvert & James Roach. Jas Roach is prob husband of Samuel's dau Nancy Roach in their father's 1785 will. Who is John Calvert? See 1786 where John Calvert appraises Samuel's estate.

I'm thinking that Samuel is recording their share of Samuel Sr. estate and that John et all is Samuel's brother John and sister Nancy Jackson Roach but don't know John Calvert's connection. This last sentence seems logical but is conjecture. Could John Calvert be the husband of one of Samuel's granddaughters mentioned in his 1786 Will?? [Later, found that John Calvert is prob John, son of the John Calvert who died before 1788 and is in the next paragraph as his son. John Jackson had married Chloe Calvert and was John Calvert Sr's son-in-law. The John Calvert who appraised Samuel's estate could have been John Sr.]

4 Jan 1791 The following men bought slaves from the estate of John Calvert.
JOHN JACKSON bought slave named Daniel
John Davis bought slave named Spencer.
Francis Calvert bought slave named Keziah
JOHN REDMAN bought slave named George
John Calvert bought slave named Constance.
See page 80 & 81 which indicates that the above are sons or sons-in-law of John Calvert. (Descendants of Virginia Calverts Book 1, Part I, pg 39)

*1793-1811 John Jackson & David Renoe & others were tenants living on "Bristow's Tract' and paying rents to Commissioners of Escheated Property. They brought an injunction protesting the proposed sale which injunction was issued to stay the sale until their rights were determined. John was still living on the property in 1811.

*1792 Jun 4 Samuel & Vashti (Grinnin) and their son Charles lease land from Martin Cockburn. Indicates Charles is oldest son and probably not minor. (#9, 9A) Samuel leases Lot #4, Francis has adjoining Lot (# n/g), Anthony Buchner has Lot #2. Witnessed by Francis Jackson, James Muschett, Mungo Hancock & Charles Tyler. (There is mentioned in WPA Historical Inventory a history of Jackson's Mill Site on Lot #10 but I don't have plot of any of these lots.) "There does not seem to be any information as to who this Jackson family was or from whence it came, but some old records at the Court House at Manassas have yielded what may be a clue, as in 1766 there are deeds of lease and release of a tract of land between Francis Jackson and Thomas Borston, that could very well have been this tract or near it." NOTE: Borston "Boyd Stone" our docs!

1794 John Calvert of county of Prince William sold to Richard Scott Blackburn and Burr Peyton, slaves William and Fanny and her child, to relieve the bond [on the estate of John Calvert, Sr.] with the said John Calvert, JOHN JACKSON AND JAMES ROACH. (Descendants of Virginia Calverts Book 1, Part II, pgs 104.)

*1795 Oct 5 Deed from John Fairfax et al to Samuel Jackson for 250 acres on head draines of Crooked Branch of Occoquan. Samuel Jackson received deed for 250A from John & William Fairfax. DB Y: pps 674-677 witnessed by James Muschett, Mungo Hancock & Charles Tyler Jun. This is #10.

1. Samuel 1694 --need to put here for ready reference why I thought this Sam was same Sam who wrote 1785 will-- ah, see doc 1766 & 1788.
   
2. Samuel who wrote will in 1785 - he is obviously not the Sam who married Vashti
   
3. Samuel Jr. son of #2 who by now is not using the term Jr. So this is Samuel who in 1815 wills this to his son George Washington Jackson with wording that may indicate he had deeded it to George before writing the will. But putting it in the will covers all the bases.

*1796 Jun 18 Samuel Jackson leased to Andrew Foster (#11) 202 acres of land exempting 3 acres around the meeting house.

1798 May 2 Deed from Rodham Blancett to Samuel Jackson for what? (#13 & #14)

*1796 & 1798 Samuel JACKSON & wife Mary (Farrow) gave land for church (#12)

*1799 Dec 2 Francis Jackson, s/o Francis deeds to Margaret Evans and Stafford Matthews mentions Sarah [nee Ridley] wife of Francis. (#15) Deeds 143 acres previously granted to William Ridley by Proprietor of NN and bequeathed to Sarah Ridley. Quote from Joanne Pezzullio: "The land Sarah Ridgley inherited is not mentioned in Francis' will because it was not his to bequeath. Under primogeniture, still in effect in 1781, the land would descend directly to Sarah's eldest son (though her widowed husband would have a curtesy interest in it as long as he lived." So this confirms to us the division of Francis' children between mothers.

*1801 Jan 26 Deed John Lynn sells to Reuben Calvert 42A in PWC. This Reuben Calvert may have Jackson connections. (YES!) Info from Barb Shave printed. This land adjoins William Lynn and James Gwtkins and Peter Cornwell's land. In this deed it is spelled Gawtkins.

1801, July 31. Enoch Calvert, William Roach for value received, JOHN REDMAN acting Executor for the estate of John Colbert, deceased, do relinquish to the said Redman his heirs, etcs. all right to small tract of 100 acres. Witnesses were JOHN JACKSON, Wm. Shaw and Solomon Ewell.
(JOHN JACKSON also released the above.)
Issue of John and Susanna (.......) Calvert:
i. John Calvert b abt 1759: m ......
ii. Enoch Calvert. Went to Frederick Co., Va.
iii Chloe Calvert b. ....; m JOHN JACKSON. (this John is the line I'm following)
iv. daughter Calvert b....; m Francis Calvert. See No. 128.
v. Charlotte Calvert b....; m John Davis.
vi. Elizabeth Calvert b....; m. JOHN REDMAN.
(Descendants of Virginia Calverts Book 1, Part II, pgs 104.)

*1803 Dec 2 Will of Isaac Farrow. In it he mentions his daughter Mary Jackson. See 1815 below. He also mentions four granddaughters, Nancy Strother, Susannah Botts, Sibby Davis and Elizabeth Carney without mentioning their Mother, but they are listed after Mary and are probably her daughters.

• Named are two sons-in-law, Samuel Jackson & Enoch Reno.
  
• dau Sibby Farrow m Enoch Reno (named s-i-l) (rec'd slaves Patience, David, Jane, Sarah & Charles + 400 pounds cash)
  
• grandson George Reno
  
• grandson William Reno (rec'd a slave named Lawson)
  
• granddau Susannah (Reno) Botts (rec'd slave Lewis already in her possession)
  
• son John Farrow (rec'd slaves Lucy, Frank, Jesse, Samuel & Jacob and NO $ mentioned)
  
• grandson Isaac Farrow (rec'd slave Alse + 200 pounds cash)
  
• dau Mary (Farrow) Jackson (rec'd slaves Nell, Robert, David, Tom & Mason + 400 pounds cash to be invested) and leaves another 200 lbs to be divided among her heirs at her death.
• "Mary's son, John Farrow Jackson" (gets 1/2 his mother's invested principal at her death; also 200 pounds now + slave Robert)
  
• granddau Nancy Strother (rec'd slave Lawson already in her possession) (Luis Strother per Isaac's 1804-5 Estate acct.)
  
• granddau Sibby Davis (John P. per 1804-5 Estate acct) (gets slave girl Agg.)
  
• granddau Elizabeth Carney (George Carney per estate acct.) (gets slave Patients + 100 pounds cash and no more)
  

Land, negroes, stock of all kinds, household & kitchen furniture & all property of all kinds to be sold & bonds on hand except above to be divided equally except no more $ for Elizabeth Carney. Names two sons-in-law Samuel Jackson & Enoch Reno sole executors. (notice he cut out John Farrow from being executor. Sibby & Mary get cash and grandchildren divide up proceeds of sale, but John gets only half money until his mother dies!)

Isaac's Will was witnessed by George W. Jackson, John Cornwell, William B. Webster and William Norman

1804 & 1805 Some items from Isaac Farrow's Estate Account:
Francis Jackson was paid for chain carrying for surveyor for lot of land for Isaac's estate.
There were a LOT of folks paid their debts to Isaac's estate in 1804 & 1805. Isaac must have collected rent or bond interest from a LOT of folks.
Paid George Carney & wife in full 100 pounds
Paid George W. Jackson for John Jackson 200 pounds (This had to be John Farrow Jackson)

*1815 Feb 28 Samuel JACKSON will written in Prince William Co., Virginia, probated 1 May 1815; Will Book K; 388-90.
Samuel' Will mentions 4 or maybe 5 tracts of land that he either purchased or received from his father.
1. to Mary "land which my father gave me by deed of gift" which he purchased of the Boyd Stones or Boydstones. (We didn't get this from RELIC but I found it online.) (Note another doc says Thomas Boiden.) See Francis 1778 wherein Francis gifts to Samuel.
2. to Mary tract of "land I purchased of Billey Jackson". This may be Billey, s/o Charles, s/o Francis, see Will 1781. don't have
3. to George Will mentions that George was already provided for by receiving earlier (when??) "by deed of gift" land George's father Samuel had purchased from John Fairfax! This ties George's father Samuel to the Samuel in 1795. We do not have this deed of gift to George W.
4A Samuel's father (assumed Francis) purchased from Col. George Mason. we don't have deed
4B Samuel's father (assumed Francis) Willed to Samuel the George Mason land where is that mentioned?
4C Samuel gave deed of gift of the Mason land to John we don't have that deed.
4D Samuel's 1815 Will mentions this deed of gift previously given to John "all that tract of land my Father gave me by Will which he purchased by Col. George Mason" adjoining the land I (Samuel) gave him (John Farrow Jackson) by deed of Gift. Something wrong with this logic.
John Farrow is also to get tract 1 & 2 above after his mother Mary dies. She died in 1817. (1839 John Jackson accrued his portion of his wife's inheritance, 126 acres in Fauquier County.
Dec 1839 John sold his land in Prince William County and moved to the 126 acres of his deceased father-in-law.

Mentions what he gave to Baptist Soc (this is docs #11 & #12 1796 & 1798)
Wife Mary rec'd London, Robin & David & woman Sila – all slaves
Wife Mary rec'd 2 tracts of land #1 & #2 above

1. dau Sarah Strother (strange that Isaac Farrow doesn't list her among Mary's daughters) gets slave Matilda, 50# cash and = personal prop.
   
2. Sybil/Sibby Davis per Isaac Farrow's 1803 will (m John P. Davis) gets slave Jacob + equal portion personal prop.
   
3. dau Susanna Langfit m Philip Langfit per father, Samuel's 1815 will gets slave Philip, 50# + equal portion of personal prop.
   
4. dau Jane Jackson (no married name given; still single) (also not listed as dau of Mary in Isaac's will!) gets slave Hester, stock, house & kitchen furniture, + 50# + an equal portion of personal prop
   
5. dau Elizabeth/Betsey Jackson ** (no married name given - George Carney per Isaac Farrows's Estate account) gets slave Charlott, stock, house and kitchen furniture, + 50# + equal portion of personal prop.
   

George Washington (not listed in Isaac's will as a grandson but he was witness to Isaac's will!)

• Nancy m unkn Strother per grandfather, Isaac Farrow's 1803 will. Nancy Strother per this 1815 will is already provided for but will get = portion of personal property after Mary's death.
  
• Capt John Farrow (mentioned as grandson of Isaac Farrow in his 1803 Will above; this proves Samuel's wife was Mary Farrow)
  

Slave Moses to be sold
Executors of Samuel's 1815 Will are "my sons George W. Jackson, John F. Jackson and my son-in-law Philip Langfit."

• Daughters marked with * were mentioned in Isaac Farrow's 1803 Will as his granddaughters! The others are married so were born in 1803 and it causes one to wonder why they weren't also mentioned.
  
• Daughters marked with # were listed in Samuel's 1815 Will as his daughters.
  
  • If she was married to George Carney in 1803, why is she called Betsey Jackson in 1815?
