I am going to add this Phebe to William Jackson and Prudence. Since there is conflicting info that I haven't been able to resolve yet, this will cause Wiliam and Prudence to have two daughters named Phebe. Any help unraveling this problem will be appreciated!

  1. 1. Name: David Vail (I failed to get the URL where I got this but it was Essex Co Quaker Records at ancestry.com)

Page 216: 1783, Feb 20. Jackson, William, of Woodbridge, Middlesex Co. Int. Adm'r--David Vail, of Somerset Co., Fellowbondsman--John Runyon, of Middlesex Co., Wit: Elijah Pound and Asa Dunham.

I assume this William who died in 1783 without a will and whose estate was admin'd by David Vail, was Prudence's husband and Phebe's father. But there is nothing in this record to prove that. I don't have a d/o/d for him from any other source, therefore, it is an assumption but a very likely one. Prudence didn't die until 1794; I would have expected her to have the right of administering or refusing.
