Jackson Family Genealogy Home Page
Descendants of Robert Jackson of Hempstead,
Long Island, New York
This web site is dedicated to the descendants of
Robert Jackson. Robert is said to have arrived in Massachusetts
with his father, Richard, about 1630, sailing from Yarmouth,
England. "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 here:
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.
This web site is an effort to enable distant cousins to have a place to
gather together to look for their connections and add to their family tree.
Much of the information here has been generously submitted by these cousins.
So Welcome! Come visit awhile under our family tree and reminisce.
We'd love to get better acquainted and hear about your side of the family.
So draw up a chair and explore our site, then drop me an email to tell me
where you fit in. And perhaps you can fill in a lot of holes for all
of us too! I hope you will find a connection here and contact me so
your family can be added to our family database. The more we share, the more we know!!
I'll welcome any and all suggestions for
additions and improvements. Please read 'About this
Site' to become better acquainted and then explore the many
pages below. Come back often to see what's new and
bring the rest of your family too!
