User:Janiejac/Notebook of Samuel Jacksons in PWC

1779 October 14

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.       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.

Samuel Jackson who had land in 1694

1664 Stafford County formed

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.)

1694 25 Sep 200A was conveyed by said Andrew GIBSON to Samuel JACKSON (later sold by grandson Francis to Tebbs in 1766; mentioned in a Tebbs deed in 1788.)

1728/1729 Samuel Jackson owned or leased land in Stafford Co adjoining Philemon Walters "on a branch of Quantico" . (from rootsweb chart of Michael Marshall) I believe this same land is later described as being in PWC – PWC not formed until 1731

Copied from http://genforum.genealogy.com/carter/messages/19307.html "Samuel Jackson, in area by 1688 and living as late as 1695 in Stafford Co., Virginia. Wife unknown. His property is now located within the Quantico military base."
