Person:James Jackson (197)

James is mentioned in his mother-in-law, Freelove Jones Birdsall's 1821 will.

Notes below from research of Willard S. Moore provided to Janie Kimble January, 2008: "James died at Islip, New York, 'in the 54th year of his age,' shortly before 4 August, 1831, when his death was reported in 'The Long-Island Farmer'. . . James Jackson left but scanty traces on the historical record. He is mentioned in the wills of his grandfather and two of his aunts, one of which also mentions his daughter Margaret. James's wife may be the Phebe Jackson who witnessed the will of his aunt Martha Van De Water. James and Phebe Jackson's family is also mentioned in two wills from Phebe's side of the family. The will of Phebe's mother, Freelove Birdshal [sic], dated 28 February 1821, mentions 'my son in law James Jackson [and] my three grand dauters [sic] namely Margaret Jackson Elizabeth Jackson Deborah Jackson.' The will of Margaret Tredwell, widow of Timothy Tredwell, dated 8 January 1814, mentions mother Freelove Birdshall [sic] and sister Phebe Jackson."

  (Since Margaret is over 20 and Samuel is about 19, it makes sense that they are out of the household: Willard Moore)
