See the Notes in father, James Jackson's record!

From source book, pg 36, "Charles Jackson, whose estate was administered May 31, 1785." No location given, but it appears to be Woodbridge, New Jersey. His wife Mary was born in Woodbridge and after Charles died, she remarried to Ebenezer Ford "of Ford's Corner" in Woodbridge, New Jersey. (pg 30)

Now I am going to make an assumption - this is not documented - but this Charles is probably the son of James Jackson Jr., who was found in the Quaker records of the Plainfield/Rahway/Woodbridge MM. James Jr. was conjectured son of James Jackson and Rebecca Hallet. James' son Charles (b 1745) is of the right age and is the only other Quaker named Charles Jackson in the Woodbridge area that I have found to date.
