In the process of researching the descendants of Robert Jackson of Hempstead, Long Island, New York, I often found the need to keep information about other Jacksons. Or maybe just ran onto some interesting information that just begged to be recorded for surely somebody will want to know this. So I've acquired lots of Bits and Pieces, some from other folks, and some I just dug out of old records myself. After a while, all these Bits became disorganized and I decided to put them on this page to make them easier for me to locate and also to make the info available to others. The goal will be to combine duplicate info and upload to WeRelate so the info is not lost.

So here is a list of Brick Wall Jacksons and/or immigrant Jacksons and/or just Jacksons with no earlier information yet found. Feel free to add a link to any 'Earliest Known' Jackson family you have uploaded.
