This site focuses on finding
connections via DNA to the various branches of what is called
the Hempstead Jackson Line. The actual data base for Robert Jackson of Hempstead has been moved 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 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. Both Jerry's site and this separate page remains a work-in-progress and
all additions, edits and corrections are appreciated!
My email link is at the bottom of the page; Jerry can be
contacted on the Quilted Family site.

The 'Hempstead' Jackson branches: Presently there are three branches of the Hempstead clan defined by five patriarchs.First Known Branch (Y9389) and a subgroup (Y38787): Robert Jackson of Hempstead, NY: @ Quilted Family Trees (Jerry Gross) Descendants of Robert Jackson of Hempstead, New York (archived as of 6/2014) Story of Robert Jackson (great historical record but no sources here; Frances Freeman) Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/468602469959095/members/ William Jackson, s/o Stephen Jackson and Nancy Cook (Jinny Jackson Smith) Col. Joseph Jackson's descendants have a mutation which sets them apart as a subgroup with the DNA Y38787. Samuel Jackson Irish Revolutionary Soldier, d Greene, PA Samuel Jackson and Margaret Cree's descendants (ancestry) and Samuel Jackson and Margaret Cree's descendants (wikitree) Research by Mike Jackson, John McAnally Second Known Branch (BY19809): Samuel Jackson of Stafford, Virginia (wikitree) Samuel Jackson of Stafford, Virginia (rootsweb) Research by John McAnally John Lynn and Isabelle Fristoe of Prince William & Fauquier, Virginia Research by Mark Lynn (ancestry.com)
This google spreadsheet was prepared to help you visualize the
relationships and connections of the Hempstead descendants who have
participated in DNA testing.
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!
"The more we share, the more we know!"
A Collaborative Effort
I started a Jackson Name Study at WikiTree. But it
is a larger job than I can handle. I need lots of folks to
help me! My primary focus right now is to have
a WT Profile for every man tested to be a descendant of Robert
of Hempstead. Then my
goal is to have a link to every EKA on the various lineages at
FTDNA. So this is much more than Hempstead research!
So now if you publish your EKA to WikiTee, please let me know!
COME SEE THIS PAGE ABOUT OUR JACKSON DNA CONNECTIONS!!
This section will function similar to a Blog to
keep folks updated on the Collaborative Effort to both preserve
our combined research and to work toward finding the Earliest
Known Ancestor for the quartet of patriarchs
associated within the SNPs I-Y8950,
Trees for the Five Patriarchs and their descendants have been created
at both WeRelate.org and
WikiTree.com.
These free, collaborative trees are always in-progress and can use your additions. Come add what
you know (and how you know it) to build our collective knowledge.
(Ah yes, you need to read or view the tutorials and explore
the site. Also there is a forum for asking questions!)
Both sites have their pros and cons but WikiTree has become the
preferred site for gathering all our combined research together.
From FTDNA blog: "Genealogy is detective work. If all of the
answers were just given to you, there wouldn't be any interest
or excitement left over."
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. Also, if considering upgrading, it may be helpful
to read John McAnally's page for tips on selecting just
certain SNPs to test. 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.

“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.
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;
Jack McAnally for his knowledge of DNA & research as it pertains to genealogy and handholding us
all when we falter;
Bob Mitchell [RIP] for his exacting
research into Jacksons in TN, AL and the Carolinas;
and Jerry Gross for his early encouragement and
continuing interest!
