289. Captain Stephen Jackson-10366
Records and analysis below contributed by Bob Mitchell.
The lineage of Stephen Jackson being a descendant of Robert Jackson of Hempstead was proven by yDNA testing 5 Mar 2006 when a descendant of Stephen's son, Abel was a 67/67 match to a well documented descendant of Robert Jackson.
A transcription of the Declaration of Stephen Jackson (Revolutionary War Pension Application) Nancy Jackson, Widow of Stephen Jackson State of TN } Humphreys County } can be found on the Conflicting Data Page here:
<http://www.jacksonfamilygenealogy.com/pages/conflictingdataStephensinCarolina.htm>. This page studies the various Stephen Jacksons in the area during this time period. Statements in this Declaration prove that Killing Stephen and Nancy Cook had only 4 sons, two of which are named within the documents.In addition I (Bob), I now believe that Stephen had a second family based on the many transactions below.
Due to the fact that there were three Stephen Jacksons in the Cheraw area of Anson Co., North Carolina and Chesterfield Co., South Carolina during the time period of 1790 through 1810, it is extremely difficult to determine exactly which one of these Stephen Jacksons was the Stephen Jackson who interacted with Nancy Ann Hendrick during that period of time. Based upon a my examination of the available records, it is my opinion that Capt. Stephen Jackson is that Stephen Jackson. There is no document or record that spells this out specifically, and conversely nothing has been found that can refute this assertion. This connection is my opinion only. I am open to meaningful conversation and exchange of information on this subject. Please email me direct at bmitchell@hickorylake.net.
Known as "Killing Stephen," Stephen Jackson received this title after killing 6 Tories during the Revolutionary War and declaring that he would not quit until he had killed 20. Philip Rushing, a soldier who served under Capt. Stephen Jackson stated in his declaration for pension: "he recollects an anecdote of his Capt that is Capt Jackson that he the Capt usually said that he had killed 19 Tories and that he must kill the 20th before he stopped, that is with his own hand-he killed the nineteen." Stephen Jackson was a Captain in the South Carolina Militia and fought under General Francis Marion, also known as the Swamp Fox. He had two children with Nancy Cook, names unknown, who died during the Revolutionary War. This may explain his hatred for the Tories and his reported statement that he would quit killing Tories when he had killed twenty. Perhaps he intended to exact his revenge by ten fold for each child. Based upon land records, slave transactions and an 1804 Act of the North Carolina General Assembly, I think this is the Stephen Jackson who was also a consort of Nancy Ann Hendrick. It appears that Stephen was not living with his wife Nancy and she in fact had removed to Tennessee where she was living with her their surviving son Abel in Humphreys County by 1830. Divorce was not very easily attained in that day and it was not uncommon for husband and wife to split and lead separate lives. CPT Stephen Jackson is named numerous times in various Applications for Revolutionary War Pensions by men of the Cheraws or their wife in providing proof of service. Many of them served with or under Capt. Stephen Jackson.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Previously it was thought that Nancy's son John Hendrick Jackson was the same John who married Rebecca Rushing. But this was conjecture based on circumstances and location but no documentation. So this is still a possibility but until better evidence is found, the connection of John Jackson and Rebecca Rushing and John Hendrick Jackson has been removed as of Feb 14, 2009.
According to Bob Mitchell:
After Stephen's death Nancy moved to Tennessee to live with her son Abel. In 1840 she made application for Revolutionary Soldiers Pension based upon her husband's service in that war. Nancy died before the penson was paid and in 1854 her son Abel provided a supporting declaration for the pension to be paid to himself. This all occurred in Humphreys Co., Tennessee.
880. Male Jackson-10460
According to Bob Mitchell:
Name unknown, killed as a child during American Revolution
881. Male Jackson-10461
According to Bob Mitchell:
Name unknown, killed as a child during American Revolution
According to Bob Mitchell:
1800 Anson Co., NC US Census, William Jackson age 16-25, one daughter under 10, wife age 16-25.William is mentioned in a declaration made by Abel Jackson in 1854 supporting his mother's claim for Revolutionary War Pension Benefits. He is described as 10 years older than Abel and deceased. A William Jackson is found on the 1800 Anson Co., North Carolina US Census with a wife and daughter.
--end of Bob's Notes--William's brother Abel has been proved to be a descendant of Robert Jackson of Hempstead by DNA; thus his brother William is also a descendant. But no paper trail has been found to prove the record of William Jackson researched by Jinny Jackson Smith is the same man as Abel's brother. But circumstantial evidence indicates her record is accurate. Her record of William Jackson's descendants can be found at her web site here: http://www.ohcomeangelband.com/ .
CORRECTION:
Bob Baird and Will Hendrick have worked together to examine the various references to Nancy/Ann and have concluded that earlier thought that her name was Hendrick is incorrect.
Bob Baird says "There is a lot of confusion between Hendrick and Kendrick, as the capital letters look so similar. . . I think the evidence very strongly favors her being a 'Kendrick" and not a "Hendrick". A while back we counted references to her and there was something like 20-odd citations as "Kendrick" and only 2 or 3 as "Hendrick". Other than the fact that she lived in the same area, there's nothing at all that connects her to any of the Hendricks. I would think that the clerks in Anson and Chesterfield would have been familiar enough with the Hendricks living there that it was not accidental that they spelled her name as "Kendrick" and everyone else as "Hendrick".
Will Hendrick says "_____ has pointed out many times that none of the known Hendrick men ever witnessed any of the multiple transactions involving Ann. That seems in stark contrast with the degree to which their names show up on each other's Hendrick documents. {Also,] finally, the fact that the legislation changing the spelling of children's names from "Kendrick" to Jackson is telling."Janie Kimble: Therefore, as of January 2011, Nancy Ann's name will be changed in this record from Hendrick to Kendrick. It is presented as 'reasonable conjecture' that the Stephen Jackson who legally adopted Nancy Kendrick's children was the same Stephen Jackson, who was married to Nancy Cook.
Rosemary Crawford Miller points out that there is no specific document to confirm this and so has challenged this conclusion. But it is a conclusion reached by an accumulation of the many citations below and study of the circumstances in the area at the time. Please see the Notes in Stephen Jackson's record and also read the Conflicting Data Page for analysis and understanding of this conclusion: <http://www.jacksonfamilygenealogy.com/pages/conflictingdataStephensinCarolina.htm>.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nancy and Ann are used interchangeably as a name for Nancy Kendrick. Her name was probably Nancy and Ann her nickname. Her name is also seen in transcribed records as Hendrick or Kindrick. These citations below are for the purpose of showing Nancy and Stephen's relationship and not for proving her surname one way or the other. The citations are from transcriptions and I have no way of knowing if the original spelling looked like Kendrick or Hendrick.

290. Edward Jackson-10368
5 Mar 2006: y-DNA sampling confirms the link between the Benjamin Jackson line, father of Edward, and the James Jackson-Rebecca Hallett line of New York.
Researcher for this line, Bob Mitchell, has written a page about Edward's father, Benjamin's wives and which children belong to which wife and it is posted here: http://www.jacksonfamilygenealogy,com/pages/ConflictingData or See Table of Contents.
Birth
Concerning the birth location of Edward, Bob Mitchell writes: "The border in Anson Co. with South Carolina was apparently a moving target for many years. I guess the best way to look at is before 1764 and after. After 1764 most of what our Jackson's held was in SC. Their land was in the Cheraws area of NC/SC which became the Cheraws Dist of South Carolina. Included in the Cheraws was southern Anson Co., NC, Craven Co., SC, Chesterfield Co., SC and part of what is now Chester Co., SC and Union Co. and Richmond Co., NC.
Edward Jackson researchers are the only ones who claim Craven Co., SC or name it specifically. I would say it would be possible that some of the other sons [of Benjamin] were born in in Craven Co. We know for sure that some of the land holdings spread from Anson, to Union to Chesterfield Counties. I now find evidence that suggest that some holds may have spread into Richmond Co., NC.
One important point on all of this is the fact that in the early days prior to the Revolution, Anson County had the only court house and law in the area. Land purchases in the areas outside of Anson were registered in Anson Co during those times, births were probably recorded there as well.Family Life
Genealogist Grady Langley writes "Edward lived near the town of Auburn, which was originally in Jackson Co. but became a part of Gwinnett Co. when the latter county was established.
"From the Meyers papers in the Georgia State Archives, Edward Jackson owned a mill on Little Mulberry, north of Auburn, about 2-3 miles. It was operated by Seaborn Jones Jackson. Today, Auburn, GA is located in Barrow Co., half way between Hoschton, Jackson Co. and Grayson, Gwinnett Co. Barrow Co. was formed in 1914 from parts of Jackson, Gwinnett and Walton Counties.22 Dec 1794 Land Entry: Edward Jackson entered 150 acres in Anson County, North Carolina on the waters of Clay Creek, adjoining John Harnet, James Wimberly, Stephen Jackson and John Hendrick.
Edward Jackson drew a Bounty Grant as a Revolutionary Soldier in the Lottery of 1827, (Lot 52, District 14, Muscogee County, Georgia), while a resident of Davis District, Gwinnett County, Georgia. This is also mentioned in Pruitt's North Carolina Land Entries, 107, No.1639: Edward drew Muscogee County land granted 18 Dec 1827.
The Heritage, pg 12: 'Edward's son David and daughter-in-law Rachel Bracken Jackson, along with daughter Mahaley 'Alsey' Jackson Myers and her husband Carney left for Walker county in 1837, taking with them their children. It was while he was visiting these children and grandchildren in Waterville, several miles slightly SE from LaFayette, Walker County, that Edward died February 22, 1845, at age 90."
According to "Gone to Georgia", p. 156 & 157) Gwinnett County, GA Families 1818-1968, he was enumerated in the 1840 census as 96 years old. But in 1840 he would have been 85/86 so there is likely a typo there. Checking the census records at ancestry.com we find Edward enumerated on the 1840 Census for Gwinnett Co., Georgia.
He was 86 years old
In his household were one male 10-14; one male 80 thru 89; one female 60 thru 69 for a total of three white persons and no slaves.Revolutionary War Service
While a resident of Chesterfield District, South Carolina, Edward Jackson enlisted in 1775 and served at various times until the close of the Revolution, amounting to about two years in all as private in Captains Griffith's and Lloyd's companies in Colonel Benton's South Carolina regiment. He was in the Battle of Cocsawhatchie, South Carolina, eighty-two miles southwest of Charleston on the road to Georgia. This battle was fought on May 11, 12 and 13, 1779, between the forces of the British General Provost and those of the American Lieutenent Colonel Laurens in which half of the Continentals were killed.A transcription of his pension application W2119 can be found at: http://southerncampaign.org/pen/index.htm. Edward Jackson was allowed pension of Thirty Dollars per annum to commence on the 4th day of March, 1831, on his application executed October 5, 1832, at which time he was a resident of that part of Gwinnett County, Georgia, which was out from Jackson County by the Georgia Acts of 1818, 1819 and 1820.
The Heritage, pg 12: "Edward applied for a pension and was allowed $30 per annum beginning July 1, 1833 with $75. of back pay. He signed the application himself, showing he was literate.

Edward Jackson is buried one and a half miles north of Trion, Chattooga County, Georgia, in the Poe Cemetery, west of the Alabama Road. On October 15, 1939, the William Marsh Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution unveiled a Government marker at the grave of Edward Jackson. The memorial address was delivered by the Secretary-General of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, Mr. Frank B. Steele, of Washington, D.C.Poe Cemetery is on private land, the former Marsh place. The William Marsh Chapter of the D.A.R. from Lafayette, Georgia maintains his gravesite several times a year. It is mentioned in Edward's granddaughter Lydia's 1888 obituary that her grandfather Edward is buried on the Marsh place.
A second memorial including a stone is listed for Edward Jackson in Suwanee Memorial Cemetery, Gwinnett County, Georgia. This memorial clearly states that it is a memorial only; that Edward was not buried there but is buried in Poe Cemetery, Chattooga Co., Georgia.
Bill Couch's site has Charity's DOB as 1768 and DOD as 1803.
Mary Pauline (Polly) Hall-10527
The Heritage, pg 13: "As a Revolutionary War Veteran's widow, Mary Pauline Hall Jackson, at about age 84, was allowed a pension March 5, 1853. She died months later on January 4, 1854, and is buried at Haynes Creek Primitive Baptist Church near Loganville, Georgia. I (Shannon Coffey) have been unable to find a tombstone marking her grave."
898. Isaac Jackson-10685
Take NOTE of this record: Georgia Marriages to 1850 at ancestry.com http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=2085
Name: Isaac Jackson
Spouse: Miriam Pugh
Marriage Date: 17 Jul 1807
Marriage County: Jackson
Marriage State: Georgia
It appears that this compiled record of marriage is in error. Ancestry says these records are compiled from various records and books and does NOT say the marriages are compiled from original documents. This may be the date of Isaac's birth instead! But he did marry Miriam Pugh. It is only the date that is questionable.
1790 Census Anson Co., David Jackson over 16, wife no age given & 2 children under 16. Samuel and Stephen fit the bill. David appears to be the only David Jackson enumerated in Anson Co., in 1790. He is next hh to Thomas Medows.
According to Bob Mitchell:
1800 Anson Co., NC, US Census, David Jackson and wife both ages 26-44, two sons under age 10, two sons age 10-15, four daughters under age 10. Again, David is the only David Jackson enumerated in Anson Co., in 1800. He is next hh to Stephen Jackson.
By 1810 David is in Stewart County, Tennessee on a Tax List.
By 1820 David is on the Stewart County, Tennessee U. S. Census. 1-2-0-1-0-1-1-2-1-0-1
He is enumerated next to Hugh Jackson, probably his son.Madison Co, TN Court Minutes Book 1821-1825 Vol.1, page 368. Administration of all goods etc of David Jackson dec. granted to Susan Jackson and David Jackson. John Rasberry and Abel Rainey security. (John Rasberry and Abel Raines were sons-in-law of David.)
Madison Co., TN Court Minutes Book 1821-1825 Vol. 1, page 415. Sale of the estate of David Jackson returned with allowance for widow.
According to Bob Mitchell:
The name Meadows was pronounced Meadors, due to the dialect of the time. It is seen in records spelled both ways. All marriage bonds 1750-1868 were destroyed in court house fire in 1868. The marriage register in the court house begins in 1868. However preserved in the Archives in Raleigh (File No 5.001) are two marriage bonds dated 1762 and two lists of marriage licenses. In the marriage license list 1 June 1786 to 1 June 1787 among others are: David Jackson - Succey Meadors. Susan Meadors apparently died before 1830 as she is not listed on the 1830 Census either by herself or with any of the children.
910. Temperance 'Tempy' Jackson-10835
Per Barbara Crumpton: "Tempy would not appear in father David's 1830 household as she was married to Lewis Meador and in 1830 they are in their own Madison County household living next to her sister Susan / John Rasberry and brother David Jr. / Susan (Rushing) Jackson."
292. Mary Rushing Jackson-10413
According to Bob Mitchell:
Blakeney researchers show this Mary Rushing Jackson to be a daughter of Benjamin Jackson and Mary Rushing.
According to Bob Mitchell:
William Blakeney and family are found on the 1800 Chesterfield Co., SC US Census with 2 male children under 10 years, 2 male children between 16 and 25 and 2 female children under 10 years. He had 16 slaves.

In the 1807 deed above, Jesse is buying 334 acres from his brother David. Benjamin was their father. Elisha Jackson was Jesse's son.
From Bob Mitchell: "The name Meadows was pronounced MEADORS, due to the dialect of the time. It is seen in records spelled both ways. Deep Creek Baptist Church minutes 1810-1850 - Delilah Jackson was a member. Shown as Head of Family in 1830 Anson County US Census."
Solomon's will was proved February 16, 1780.
932. Thomas Seaman-5863
Per Robert Eldredge: "Thomas was an unmarried schoolmaster. Thomas, in his will made 7 May 1799, left his entire estate to his nephew Solomon Jackson. The will was proven at Jamaica, Long Island on 28 June 1819."
933. David Seaman-5864
Per Robert Eldredge: "David was not known to be married."
935. Almy Seaman-5392
Per Robert Eldredge: "Almy was not known to be married. It is very interesting to note that, upon her death, Almy's will was probated on 19 October 1789. Her will, dated 8 March 1788, left her monetary estate to her brother-in-law Samuel Jackson for a period of ten years. After that, the estate was to be divided between Samuel's sons, Solomon and James. As for her other possessions, Almy left them as follows:
"To nephew Solomon Jackson she left her Negroe Boy named Obadiah, her 'Cow and Cubbard and my Best Bed and beding and my Silver buckles.'
"To sister Mary Buffet 'all my wearing clothes and the one equal half of my house hold goods'.
"To sister Deborah Jackson 'the other remaining half' of her household goods."
342. Sarah Smith-5566
Jim Rubins has birth location as Hempstead, Queens and R. G. Clarke has birth location as Oyster Boy, Queens. The Jacob Milton Bergan book also has Oyster Bay.
Sarah is mentioned as a cousin and daughter of my sister Ruth Smith by Will of Isaac Jackson. See abstract in Isaac's Notes.
Note in the cited Bergan Book says "They lived for a time at Littleworth, now Glenwood, in Oyster Bay, LI, and then by 1764 on a 350 acre farm at now Pleasant Valley in Dutchess County. He listed himself as a yeoman and a cooper. He was an ardent supporter of the Tories. Sarah remarried Ahasuerus Ellsworth and was known as Grandmother Ellsworth."
958. Samuel Peters-21735
This Samuel is listed as the tenth child of George and Sarah in the cited Bergen book. It is assumed he died very young as the twelth child was also named Samuel. The author did not have birth dates for either Samuel.
960. Samuel Peters-21736
This Samuel is listed as the twelth child of George and Sarah in the cited Bergen book. There is also another Samuel listed as the tenth child so it is assumed the earlier Samuel must have died very young. The author did not have birth dates for either Samuel.
349. Isaac Mott-5404
Mentioned as a cousin and son of my sister Abigail Mott by Will of Isaac Jackson. See abstract in Isaac's Notes.
Mary Foster Ludvigsen's rootsweb chart says that Samuel drowned in the Hudson River with 2 of his grandsons.
From Jim Rubins rootsweb chart: "Samuel Coles [5], 1). Nov. 19, 1766, drowned Oct. 30. 1839, mar. Mary Leonard [6], who d. Nov. 221, 1826; issue, seven children. of whom Samuel Leonard [6], b.

George and Jerusha [5] (Mott) Strebeck. {from: Harris, Edward Doubleday "The Descendants of Adam Mott of Hempstead, Long Island, NY" [Lancester, PA: The New Era Printing Co., 1906] Revised Edition, p.4}"
963. Jordan Mott-5397
From R. G. Clarke's chart: Jordan had 7 children; three with Lavinia, and 4 with an unknown second wife. He married a third time to Elizabeth Ellison.
353. Samuel 'Jackson' (2) Mott-5400
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!
From R. G. Clarke: Samuel Jackson Mott, s/o Jacob; b: 6 Feb 1753 at North Hempstead, Queens Co, NY; d: 11 Aug 1828; Buried on Aug 1828 at Duck Cove Hollow Cemetery; Residence: 1 North Hempstead, Queens Co, NY; m: to Glorianna <Caleb> Coles Mott 25 Jan 1774; 12 children
Note: 1 Will dated 7 Aug 1820 & pro 25 Aug 1828.
Source: 1 NYG&BS Library manuscript files: Edward D Harris manuscript notesLATER: I have found record of two other sons of Jacob and Abigail, brothers of Samuel Jackson Mott, named Samuel and Jackson in the book "The Jones Family of Long Island", pg 378. 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.
From R. G. Clarke:
Glorianna <Caleb> Coles Mott; b: 13 Jul 1753; d: 1 Oct 1831; m: to Samuel Jackson <Jacob> Mott; 25 Jan 1774; 12 children.
