Migrated to New Brunswick, Canada in 1783.
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.
143. Obadiah Jackson-922
From research of Frank M. Jackson: "Birth date of 24 Feb 1733 from DAR Bible Records, Vol. 209, p. 36, NYS Library. Mentioned in the will of Jane (Seaman) Jackson dated 3 March 1785."
Bunker's book pg 222 says that he died in 1779 but that does seem very doubtful now and I will remove that d/o/d. (1) This Obadiah is the only man by that name old enough to own the 1787 earmark and therefore would be still alive. (2) This Obadiah was found on the 1790 and 1800 census. (3) Note below his son lived "at Jerusalem South near where his father lived". (4) I need to check the above Jane Seaman Jackson's 1785 will to determine if he was still living or mentioned as being deceased. (5) The 1730 d/o/b conflicts with another child being born that year, so the 1733 d/o/b seems to me to be more logical.
And ALT date of birth and death is recorded page 133 of the book "Jones Family of Long Island" as b 1730, d 1802. Also states that "Obadiah was the eldest son of Justice John Jackson, son of the 2d Colonel John, who was a brother of Phebe, wife of William Jones. He m. Almy, dau. of Jacob Seaman, and lived at Jerusalem South, near the old mill where his father lived. . . .By the death of an older brother (unnamed) his son, Jacob S. Jackson, b. 1763, became the only son and heir, and SUCCEEDED TO HIS FATHER'S ESTATE."
1790 Census Obediah Jackson, South Hempstead, Queens, NY
Number of free white males 16 and over: 4
Number of free white females 16 and over: 4
Number of slaves: 8 Total number in household: 161800 Census Obadiah Jackson, Hempstead, New York 0-0-0-0-1// 0-0-0-1-0// 0-0
So it appears that he is 45 or over. The younger woman could be a wife, daughter or even a housekeeper for the older Obediah. The only doubt about this record is: did the children all establish their own households and take the slaves with them? The only other Obadiah in the area is a younger man who lives in Oyster Bay.Obadiah's daughter, Elizabeth, named a son Obadiah after her father.
144. John Jackson IV-923
John and his first wife, Charity Treadwell, were married at St. George's Episcopal Church in Hempstead. But sometime later it appears that he became a Quaker.
From Jim Rubins: Hinshaw's Quaker Records: John received by request Jan 20, 1791 (to Jericho, NY Meeting) and
Mary, [his child], received by request 3-17-1791John's second wife, Margaret, was the widow of Noah Townsend and Daniel Thorne. This was her third marriage.
An interesting record of his home in Jericho is told at the following URL. It is called the Townsend-Jackson-Malcolm House. This hisoric home has now been completely restored. The restoration was made possible through a partnership involving the Nassau Conservancy, the County Department of Parks, Recreation and Museums, and a team of 16 Long Island interior and garden designers who volunteered their time and services. http://www.antonnews.com/oysterbayenterprisepilot/2005/12/09/news/malcolm.html
A quote from the above site: "Very little is known of John Jackson except that he was a Quaker and a fourth generation decendant of Robert Jackson, one of the original settlers of Hempstead. He was married twice, first to Charity Tredwell in 1756, and following her death to Margaret Wright Townsend. By his first marriage he had four children and by his second five more, the third being his son Obadiah.
"Like his father, Obadiah was a farmer and like his father, he was married twice, first to Elizabeth Wright, who died shortly afterward. Then in 1804, he married Rachel Underhill. Obadiah's son William's daughter Phoebe Jackson married James Malcolm who served as Town Assessor and was a director of the Oyster Bay bank. Their sons William and James A. Malcolm deeded the land to James A. Malcolm Jr. It was acquired by the county on April 2, 1974."
Noted by Frank M. Jackson: "This John Jackon’s will (sometimes known as John Jackson of Jericho) is dated 4 February 1820 and is recorded in Queens Co Liber D. of Wills, pp. 348-351. It was probated 9 March 1821. It is also recorded 10 June 1843 (Kings Co, Liber 6:314).
"It is a long and complex will in which he names his sons John, Thomas, and Obadiah and daughter Mary Jackson (Underhill). He also names the children of his son John: James T., Maria, Cornelia, Hamilton H. and Christiana. Also the children of his son Thomas: Robert and John. Also the children of his son Obadiah: none yet born but if born. Also the children of his daughter Mary Underhill: Amy, Samuel and Adonijah. He also mentions his grand daughter, Lydia De Peyster. He does use the phrase ‘in lawful wedlock’ with reference to the children his grandson, John, may have.
"His executors were son Obadiah, friend Valentine Hicks, and grandsons Hamilton H. Jackson and Samuel I. Underhill."
Tredwell, and his brother Samuel, are mentioned in their grandfather Thomas Tredwell's 1779 will which is posted in his grandfather's Notes.

464. Samuel Jackson-944
From Frank Jackson: "Samuel was one of the wealthiest merchants of his time. He owned a lot of real estate in and around Brooklyn, NY, and unfortunately died intestate. The probate records have gone missing but if they could be found, they would tell us a lot." Samuel died unmarried.
In the book "Kings County, New York Administration Proceedings, 1817-1856", Hamilton H. Jackson, Samuel Jackson's "only nephew " was given Letters of Administration 19 Jun 1832 for Samuel's estate. Samuel's next of kin are listed on page 8 and 9 as
"said nephew, Hamilton H. Jackson of Brooklyn, Maria N., Cornelia A. and Christiana A. Jackson (children of an unnamed predeceased brother of the whole blood),
Lydia Ann Depeyster, Sally Carll, Catherine Hegeman and Elizabeth White (children of Thomas Jackson, predeceased brother of the whole blood),
Samuel J. Underhill, Adonijah Underhill and Mary Willets (children of Mary Underhill predeceased sister of the half blood),
and William Jackson and John Jackson (children of Obadiah Jackson predeceased brother of the half blood). (67)"The unnamed predeceased brother above was John, father of Hamilton, Maria, Cornelia and Christiana. Their brother, James, is not listed and so is presumed deceased.
Samuel, and his brother Tredwell, are mentioned in their grandfather Thomas Tredwell's 1779 will which is posted in his grandfather's Notes.
Margaret was the widow of Noah Townsend and John's second wife.
466. Noah Jackson-844
Noah is not mentioned in his grandfather's 1820 will as were siblings Obadiah and Mary. It is possible he died without heirs before 1820.
467. Kesia Jackson-845
Kesia is not mentioned in her grandfather's 1820 will as were siblings Obadiah and Mary. It is possible she died without heirs before 1820 or perhaps Grandfather provided only for male descendants.
The record at Find-a-Grave differs from the Bible record used by the DAR applicant, but there is no photo of any stone to verify the typed record at Find-a-Grave. It says b 25 Apr 1735, d 8 Mar 1806.

The cemetery transcription at http://www.idreamof.com/cemetery/ny/longisland/sands_point.htm has Sands, Mary - wife of Benjamin Sands - b. 03 Jan 1739 - d. 16 Nov 1798. The d/o/d must have been difficult to read as other records have her d/o/d as 16 Nov 1778, a twenty year difference.
483. Jerusha Sands-18995
The page of cemetery transcriptions says she died giving birth to her first child, which was buried with her.
The cemetery transcription says he was 63 years of age when he died.

148. Jerusha Jackson-927
Frank M. Jackson has her d/o/b as 2 Apr 1741. His source is DAR Bible records, Vol. 209, p 36, NYS Library.
ALT spelling of name: In the book "Names of Persons for whom marriage licenses were Issued" his name is spelled: Maurice Pleas.
From Judy Place Maggiore: "Maurice moved to Dutchess County, NY, and served in the Revolution but left for North Carolina just before 1800 where he presumably died. Two of his sons, Isaac and William, owned 15,000 acres in the Dismal Swamp area where the canal was built and wherre they were involved in the timber and shingle industry. . . . Maurice was a Major in the Rev. War with the 5th Regiment, and he also held many positions in the township of Beekman. . . . Issac's father, Maurice Pleas, was a Major in the Revolutionary War over the 5th Regiment at Fort Constitution until about 1777. He was most likely the son of William and Zerviah (Brotherton) Pleas, born 1742 in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York. The Pleas family lived in the Huntington/Centerport/Northport area. In fact, the brother of Maurice, William Pleas/Place, from whom I am descended, is buried there at the old cemetery. I have visited his grave. He lived to be 90.
Also from Judy Place Maggiore: "Maurice married (first) Jerusha Jackson on 29 October 1766, dau. of John and Elizabeth (Hallett) Jackson. He moved to the Clove area of Beekman in Dutchess County by 1772 and served as town clerk for many years, and held various other offices in the town government. About 1800 he left NY and went to the Symon's Creek area of Pasquotank County, NC, to go into the lumber business, as recorded in the Quaker records with Issac's information who joined his father there."http://genforum.genealogy.com/place/messages/356.html
It is recorded in the book "General History of Duchess County" by Phillip Smith, appendix B that Major Morris Place served as a Regimental Office of Duchess County. (This book spells the county without a 'T'.)

"Birth date from DAR Bible records, Vol. 209, p. 36, NYS Library."Parmenus Jackson and Elizabeth Birdsall were issued a marriage bond on 13 Feb 1768. (Vol XIII,p.36 of 40 volumes in Office of Secretary of State.) Their marriage is noted in the Quaker record (Henshaw, vol 3)
"On 19 January 1776, Parmenas Jackson, along with many other residents of Queens County (including a number of Jacksons) signed a Declaration of Association that, in effect, affirmed their neutrality in the war with Britain.
"Whereas we, the subscribers, inhabitants of Queens County, on Long Island, in the Province of New York, have given great uneasiness to the good people of the neighboring Provinces and the Continent in general, by our not choosing a Committee agreeable to the orders of the Continental Congress, by our not paying that attention to the directions of our Provincial Congress, which we ought to have done, and by our opposing the General Instructions of the Continental Congress in almost all of our conduct and actions.
"Therefore, (In order to relieve the minds of the virtuous inhabitants of America, and those of this County in particular, engaged in the common cause,) we, the subscribers, do most solemnly and sincerely promise, that we will, hereafter, in all cases implicitly obey all orders and instruction enjoined on us by our Provincial and Continental Congresses, --that we will act in conjunction with the inhabitants of this and the neighboring Provinces, in the defence of American liberty,--that we never will take up arms against the Americans,--and that we will not, directly or indirectly, countenance, aid, assist, or by any means join with, any of his Majesty's troops in the present contest between Great Britain and America.

I leave to my wife and four children all the residue of my moveable estate, after all my just debts and funeral charges are first paid, and my children brought up, all which several bequests to my wife are in lieu of her dower in my estate.
To my two sons and two daughters equally, the use of all my real estate, until my son Permenas is eighteen years old, to be hired out by my executors for the benefit of my children.
To my two sons, Permenas and John, my real or "fast" estate, after my son Permenas is eighteen years old. It is my will that the whole of my real estate be possessed and enjoyed by my son Permenas from the time he is eighteen years old until my son John shall marry, or is eighteen years old.

154. Richard Jackson-969
Antony Maitland says that Richard and Phebe had eight children, but he doesn't name them. Also, that Richard and Elizabeth Brooks had no children. Richard settled in Duchess County, NY.
From the book "Concerning the Van Bunschoten or Van Benschoten Family in America", pg 134:
"Of my grandmother's family let me say a few words. Her father, Richard Jackson, was the son of Samuel Jackson and Mary Townsend; her mother, Phoebe, was the dau. of Daniel Kissam and Peggy, dau of Col. Benjamin Treadwell. -- all of earliest Long Island English stock. They were m. April 1, 1767; came up the river into Dutchess county in 1774, and settled on "Spruyt Creek": "Richard Jackson of Queens county on Nassau Island" purchasing some four hundred acres of land from the estate of one John Montrose on May 14, of that year."Richard's wife was an Episcopalian; he had been inclined to the Friends' belief but early went over to Wesleyanism, and, in time, his home became a great Methodist center, a resort of the ministers of that faith and a famous preaching place.
"Richard Jackson was picturesque; the lights and shades of his character were strong. He was a pushing, strenuous man, a driver; though doing not so much work himself he saw that others put in long days. In the winter he used to get his household up early -- in the deep dark -- have the chores done, breakfast eaten and be off with his men and teams to a wood-lot on the Fishkill mountains, some twelve miles distant, by break of day! So, in summer you may be sure the rising was early and the work under way betimes! And the Sabbath brought no relenting as to hours; he called his family together just as early on that as on any other morning, and at devotions invariably read that chapter which begins: "Very early on the first day of the week"...."

His father, Richard, is said to have settled in Dutchess County, NY but the Jones Book does not say when. It is a possibility that all of Richard and Phebe's children were born in Dutchess County, but I (Janie) don't have documentation of that.
498. Samuel Jackson-1949
Samuel is mentioned in the Codicil. February 17, 1780, of his grandfather Samuel's will. Revokes the gift of land made to his son Richard, and leaves the same to his grandson, Samuel Jackson, son of said Richard.
His father, Richard, is said to have settled in Dutchess County, NY but the Jones Book does not say when. The Van Benschoten Book says Richard arrived in Dutchess in 1774 but until the birth dates of the children are discovered, it is unknown whether they were born in Dutchess county or not. Samuel's birth date confirms that he was born in Dutchess.
500. Margaret 'Peggy' Jackson-24055
Her father, Richard, is said to have settled in Dutchess County, NY but the Jones Book does not say when. The Van Benschoten Book says Richard arrived in Dutchess in 1774 but until the birth dates of the children are discovered, it is unknown whether they were born in Dutchess county or not.
501. Phebe Jackson-24056
Her father, Richard, is said to have settled in Dutchess County, NY but the Jones Book does not say when. The Van Benschoten Book says Richard arrived in Dutchess in 1774 but until the birth dates of the children are discovered, it is unknown whether they were born in Dutchess county or not.
The Kissam Family book adds Phebe as her given name whereas the other sources knew only her surname.
502. Daniel Jackson-1950
His father, Richard, is said to have settled in Dutchess County, NY but the Jones Book does not say when. The Van Benschoten Book says Richard arrived in Dutchess in 1774 but until the birth dates of the children are discovered, it is unknown whether they were born in Dutchess county or not.
The Kissam Books says that Daniel's first wife was a Bedell and his 2nd wife was Susan Mitchill. Note the spelling of Mitchill. Daniel's sister Phebe married a Samuel Mitchill, so it is possible that these are siblings marrying siblings. Needs more research.
504. James Jackson-24058
His father, Richard, is said to have settled in Dutchess County, NY but the Jones Book does not say when. The Van Benschoten Book says his father, Richard arrived in Dutchess in 1774 but until the birth dates of the children are discovered, it is unknown whether they were born in Dutchess county or not.
A. Maitland says Letitia is mentioned in her father's Will.
From the Research of Joyce Poole:
Birth and death dates for Lettitia are from extensive research of Wm. DeCoursey: www.http://www.teachout.org/du/decoursey1750.htmlLetiticia Jackson, death date taken from research of Wm. DeCoursey: She married Solomon Pool(e)(Source: Bunker, Mary Powell, Long Island Genealogies, (Reprint. Originally published: Albany, NY: J. Munsell's Sons, 1895), 224.); Wm. DeCoursey states her death as 1 Mar. 1824, but cites no source.

Last Will and Testament of Solomon Poole identifies his wife, Letitia, daughters Elizabeth (Archer) and Mary (Corsa), and each of his sons. Will being proved February 20, 1826. LDS film #0595627, Vol. L, p. 9-11. It should be noted that the typewritten translation of Solomon's Will indicates 'strikeovers' and smear marks on Mary Corsa's married name. At first glance it appears to almost read 'Ouesci", but upon closer review and in an enhanced/larger view, it is properly read as 'CURSCI'. "Corsi" was yet another version of the Dutch name that evolved to "Corsa" (in this family) used during the wars with the French, etc.Sources used by Joyce:

From A. Maitland: "That she was one of Solomon Poole's daughters is proved in the wills of her Aunt Jamima and Uncle Townsend's Wills who called her Elizabeth Archer."
From research of Joyce Poole:
In the Last Will and Testament of Andrew Corsa (who married Mary Poole, sister to Elizabeth) it is noted he names a 'Benjamin Archer, Sr.' as one of his inheritors and as his 'best friend'. Could this possibly be the husband or family relative to Elizabeth??
