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.

ANNOUNCEMENT - A COMPANION SITE!
Change is in the Wind!  Time marches on and I am beginning to feel the need to pass the administration of this work on to my collaborator, Jerry Gross.  I am addicted to this genealogy and will continue to work on it.  But we feel it is in our Jackson family's best interest to upgrade, update and prepare for many more years of sharing.  So Jerry has prepared a new version website using The Next Generation software which has several features that are not available on this site, such as: 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.  Jerry also plans to post many more photos as they become available from fellow descendants.  So click over to Jerry's new website and see what's happening over there!  You'll find that the Jackson data is exactly the same as we share the same database; but it is presented in a different format. So explore and check out the new features available at http://www.quiltedfamilytrees.com . I think the name fits so well as we've worked to piece our individual bits of knowledge together to create a large, beautiful quilt of memories!

  out as deserving of special mention and thanks: Bob Mitchell
for his ongoing research into Jacksons in Tennessee, Alabama
  and the Carolinas; Jack McAnally for his knowledge of DNA  
research as it pertains to genealogy; and Jerry Gross for
his early encouragement and contributions.
