This site is evolving to gradually add more information
about various Jackson lineages found in the USA and will
become an index for those Jackson lineages. The data base for Robert Jackson of Hempstead has been removed to cousin
Jerry Gross' Quilted Family Trees
where you can continue find the most recent data. Viewers
may appreciate the additional features on Jerry's site such as an individual
timeline, the ability to link documents, histories and media
directly to the person individual’s pages and the ability to
print pedigree, descendancy and individual pages in PDF format.
Also there is the ability to leave a comment directly on
that site either for questions, corrections or additional
comments. As always, both Jerry and Janie welcome your
emails. This site remains a work-in-progress and
all additions, edits and corrections are appreciated!
Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Table of Contents
The 'Hempstead' Jackson line and branches: Presently there are three branches of the Hempstead clan defined by five patriarchs.First Known Branch (Y9389): Robert Jackson of Hempstead, New York: Search Form @ Quilted Family Trees Updated 6/5/2018 William Jackson, s/o Stephen Jackson and Nancy Cook Research by Jinny Jackson Smith Update announcements/queries: https://www.facebook.com/groups/468602469959095/
Research by Mike Jackson, John McAnally & J. Kimble Second Known Branch (BY19809): Samuel Jackson and Vashti Greening of Stafford, Virginia John Lynn and Isabelle Fristoe of Prince William & Fauquier, Virginia Research by Mark Lynn (ancestry.com) For further details about how these three branches are differentiated by DNA, see John McAnally's page here. This google spreadsheet was prepared to help you visualize the relationships and connections of the Hempstead descendants who have participated in DNA testing. For those folks whose DNA proves they are related to the Hempstead line, but whose connection has not yet been found - charts for these folk are listed with links below: Janie's chart for ancestors of Raymond Vance Jackson Jack McAnally's chart for ancestors of Jim Ray Jackson Bit of history: "Tradition has it that Robert Jackson came from Watertown, Mass., to Wethersfield, Connecticut, from thence to Hartford, Connecticut and from thence to Hempstead, in 1643; which perhaps was the first English settlement in the western part of Long Island." But that tradition is not backed up with any documentation. For a very complete examination of this, see Marty Grundy's history: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~paxson/jackson/Jackson.index.html. Despite not knowing how Robert arrived on these shores, we do know his descendants have spread to all corners of the United States!

“Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will show thee; ask thy elders, and they will tell thee.”
Deuteronomy 32:7
"People do not learn from the history they do not know."
Charles Simpson, Pastoral Letter April 2012
DID YOU KNOW? HAVE YOU HEARD? Your family is still growing! With every day's research new cousins are found and with every DNA test new understandings come about. Did you ever wonder about these new cousins and wish you knew something of their background or history? Do you have favorite stories about your 'Grampa' that you wish others could know? I saw on a website the other day someone rejoicing; she wrote "I found my Grandpa!!" If you've always known your family, you may not have realized the joy it brings to those who don't know about their family to finally make that connection and know they've got cousins and relatives out there. Because our Hempstead line started using DNA testing at Family Tree DNA before ancestry.com even began offering it, FTDNA remains the lab with the most Jackson participants for comparison purposes. But ancestry.com is catching up and has a larger advertising budget. If you have tested at other labs and want to compare your results with results from Jacksons who have tested at FTDNA, know that you can transfer your data to FTDNA for a small fee. See Transfer page: https://www.familytreedna.com/landing/ydna-transfer.aspx. Scroll down to read the whole page before selecting the proper transfer.
For those willing to help further the DNA research especially for the BigY expensive tests, the donation page is at the bottom, left, of this page: https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/jackson/about. One can donate anonymously or not, but be sure to designate to which line or person you wish your donation to apply to.
I am so appreciative of all the contributions that have been
made by researchers and family members. But several stand out as deserving of
special mention and thanks: Thanks to Mike Jackson for his unfailing volunteer
work with the Jackson Groups at FTDNA;
Bob Mitchell [RIP] for his exacting
research into Jacksons in TN, AL and the Carolinas;
Jack McAnally for his
knowledge of DNA & research as it pertains to genealogy and handholding us
all when we falter;
and Jerry Gross for his early encouragement and
continuing interest! The results you see on this site are truly the results of
researchers willing to share and collaborate. It is the good spirit of sharing
and working together that has made this site such a pleasure! To all who have
contributed and continue to contribute THANK YOU SO MUCH!
