Antony Maitland has an ALT d/o/d as 28 Sep 1781 on his rootsweb chart. The Jones Family Book, pg 378 says Abigail was baptised St. George Church, Hempstead, 1 Sept., 1743 (from NYG&B Record Vol X, pg 19).

345. Joseph (1) Mott-9548
Mentioned as a cousin and son of my sister Abigail Mott by Will of Isaac Jackson. See abstract in Isaac's Notes.
346. Elizabeth Mott-5405
R. G. Clarke says that Elizabeth's father was Jacob Mott, but I haven't yet figured out which Jacob this was.
Mentioned as Samuel, a cousin and son of my sister Ruth Smith by Will of Isaac Jackson. See abstract in Isaac's Notes.
347. Samuel (1) Mott-9549
Mary Powell Bunker has two sons of Jacob and Abigail: Samuel who married Anna; and Jackson who married Glorianna Coles. Michael Thissen and John Fox have recorded this as one son, Samuel Jackson Mott who married Glorianna. I am going to accept their record unless/until better records are known. See below!

These sons were both mentioned in Isaac Jackson's 1750 Will as his cousins, sons of Isaac's sister Abigail Seaman Mott. Therefore, there were two other sons named Samuel and Jackson still living in 1750, but must have died by 1753 when Samuel Jackson Mott was born. According to the Jones book, these two boys died young.

356. Richard Mott-1035
Birth and death dates taken from Michael Thissen's site, but Bunker's marriage date of 1770 cannot be reconciled with birth year. Which is wrong/right?
116. Thomas Jackson-809
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.Historical and Genealogical Miscellany: New York and New Jersey, Vols. I-V available on ancestry.com
Abigail Jackson Mott was also the sister of Thomas Jackson, of Hempstead Harbor, who, in his will, Sept. 3, 1752, alluded to her as such, and made her a contingent legatee, and appointed Jacob Mott , a brother-in-law, one of his executors.

Per Mary Powell Bunker's book: Mary Willis married Thomas Jackson, son of Samuel, John & Robert in 1748. Their daughter, Mary, was born in 1749. Then Thomas died in 1750 and the widow Mary married a second time; to another Thomas Jackson (Thomas, James, John & Robert).
120. Thomas Seaman-932
August 2, 1756, mentioned in uncle's will, Nathaniel Seaman, of Jerusalem, Queens Co., NY. (Source: Heritage Books Inc., New York Abstracts of Wills, 1665-1801 (CD #9), (Bowie, MD: Heritage Books, 1997), "CD-ROM," 5:136.)
Thomas Seaman's will was dated April 24, 1792 and proved July 3, 1792.
365. Mary Seaman-974
Mary's birth year is estimated based on her mother's age and Mary's marriage date.
There are records of a Townsend Jackson marrying both a Mary Seaman and a Polly Seaman. This writer cannot help but wonder if there were two men by the name of Townsend Jackson. For lack of anything better, I will post what I've found but with a caution to see if you can learn more about Townsend and these Seaman ladies.
From Antony Maitland: Townsend and Mary had no children. His will dated Oyster Bay October 15/1830, proved November 29/1830.

Page 16:“Shortly after the Revolution, Townsend Jackson [great-great-uncle of Jacob Willits Jackson #23735] purchased several hundred acres at the corner of what is now Jericho Turnpike and the north-south street that was then called Oyster Bay Road. The property, which extended as far north as Teibrook Avenue, passed through several generations and eventually belonged to Jacob W. Jackson (RIN #23735), the owner of a large trucking concern in New York. In Jackson’s day, the trucks were pulled by horses, which he brought out to his ranch every so often for a few days of rest. The thoroughfare that paralleled the Jackson property was later named Jackson Avenue. (Carl Baker.)” Included with this article is a picture of this beautiful homestead."
On the 1790 census for all of the state of New York, there was only one Townsend Jackson listed; so it is assumed that the 1790 record is for this Townsend Jackson. He is listed as having in his household at that time, one white male under 16, two white males 16 and over; three white females and one slave. (By the late 1800s, there were nine Townsend Jacksons found in Queens County!) His birth date is estimated based on his being at least 21 years old when he married Mary Seaman.
123. Martha Coles-4046
Martha died in childbirth per Antony Maitland.
Martha was his first wife; Anne was his second wife, widow of Daniel Kissam.
368. John Townsend-4050
A very interesting note about John and Judith Townsend is found here: http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=tomt&id=I7891 This bit of history taken from:
Title: Memorial of John, Henry, and Richard Townsend and Their Descendants,
1865.
Publication: Townsend SocietyAntony Maitland's records say this John died with his mother during childbirth and I do notice he was born the same day his mother died. But the Townsend Society Records show he grew up to marry Judith Townsend. I don't know who is right; but have accepted the Townsend Society records.
A. Maitland: Rev. Caleb Wright's death occurred on the date of his ordination.
He left will dated 9 Oct 1752.
