Person:Thomas Jackson (170)

From Powell, Mary Bunker "Long Island Genealogies" p. 221 Ms. Powell did not say Thomas was Abigail's child, but listed him as the first wife's child. I have put Thomas as Abigail's child thinking that the 1722 marriage date of Samuel and Abigail is correct. Possibly this is not correct. (This source does say that Richard and Samuel are children of Abigail Seaman Jackson.)

Frank Parise notes that Thomas was born in Jericho. Thomas died when his child, Mary, was just a baby.

Frank M. Jackson has contributed Thomas' Will: In his will dated 3 September 1752 Thomas Jackson of Hempstead Harbor leaves to his wife, Mary, all the goods she brought. The executors are to sell all shop goods and other effects. He leaves wife Mary a black mare. He leaves his brother, Isaac Johnson(sic), all his rights of land and meadow in common in Hempstead and his horse and bay mare. To his daughter, Mary, 100 lbs when 18. All the rest to his wife and daughter but if his daughter dies, then his brother(sic), John Betty, (Batty) and his sisters Elizabeth and Abigail Betty (Batty) shall have 10 lbs each and his sister Ruth 20 lbs and his brother, Isaac, 1/2 of the remainder and the rest to his two sisters, Ruth Smith and Abigail Mott. His daughters are to be brought up and schooled out of his estate. He names his two brothers in law, Abel Smith and Jacob Mott, near Hempstead Harbor, and his father in law as executors. There is an added memorandum: "I, the said Thomas Jackson, having some suspicion that my wife may be with child", said child if born is to have 1/2 of his estate with his daughter Mary. The will was proved 27 October 1750.
