Added over 200 descendants and related persons of Abigail Jackson and Jonathan Hughes into main data base. These are probably not all of their descendants but are all I have been able to reliably document for now. After much study, my conclusion is that Abigail was the daughter of William, s/o Joseph Jackson of Morris County, NJ, and her descendants deserve a place in our Jackson tree!
Posted a timeline for Jonathan Hughes on the Research Notes Page for purpose of determining location of birth of Abigail's children.
Updated Conflicting Data 3 pages about Abigail Jackson, daughter of William Jackson.

A compelling conjecture has been made for James Jackson who married Abigail Fairchild in Wilkes Co., NC,  being the son of John Jackson of Morris County, NJ who removed to North Carolina after his forge was sold at Sheriff's Sale in 1753.  But it is stressed that as of September 2008, the relationship of James born in Morris County NJ and James living in Wilkes Co., NC has not been documented.  Results of a DNA study have indicated that James is a descendant of Col. John Jackson and Elizabeth Seaman, but does not indicate the exact branch.  A study of the analysis and conclusions about James in Wilkes and Ashe Co., NC, by Bob Mitchell has been posted for your consideration here: http://www.jacksonfamilygenealogy.com/pages/conflictinganalysis_of_JamesJackson.htm.  So I have added James Jackson and Abigail Fairchild and a great many of their descendants (of Wilkes Co., NC to Montgomery Co., Indiana) to the data base.   This record of these folks has been a collaborative effort at ancestry.com by Janeen Proctor, Jack McAnally and Janie Kimble that is now moved over to this site.  Also revised the timeline research notes available from link in the Research Notes Section.  These Research Notes now include info on James Jackson of Wilkes County, who has been newly determined to be Hempstead by DNA match.

For some time I've had cautionary remarks in the notes of Rebecca Jackson Lowe, conjectured daughter of William Jackson, s/o Gen. Joseph Jackson. New information has arrived that Rebecca is more likely the daughter of William's son Stephen and though this sounds logical to me, it is not verified yet. Rather than remove all of Rebecca and Jacob Lowe's descendants from online, I am moving her to be Stephen's daughter, again with cautionary notes, hoping that verification can be made soon.
Quite a few descendants of Rebecca Jackson and Jacob Lowe have been added.

In addition to the above (1) James Jackson and Abigail Fairchild page in the Conflicting Data section, two more pages have been added to that section: (2) William Mott query by Graham Johnson and (3) a page analyzing all the William Jacksons mentioned in various charts as being in Wilkes Co., NC, during the time our William was there. This study seemed necessary in order to sort out the various claims and determine which is logically more accurate. This study on William also reveals that the Rebecca Jackson who married Abiud Fairchild is very likely a daughter of our William. So she has been added to William's family as a sister to Abigail. All three pages are recommended reading.

Connected Phoebe Fairchild and James Albert Sewell and added their children. Phoebe is d/o Rebecca Jackson and Abiud Fairchild; James is s/o Mary Gardiner Tompkins, step-dau of Elizabeth Jackson Tompkins, sister of William Jackson of Carter Co., TN.

The link added in July "Oh Come Angel Band" should have been put on the Broken Branches page, so that link has been moved to properly indicate these have been proved (by DNA) to be Hempstead Jacksons - we just don't know yet where they connect.

Home Page celebrates website's third anniversary
Revised wording in Jerry's box

Text of the page 'About This Site' has been slightly revised. Changed cutoff date: folks born 1908 or later are assumed living; 1907 and earlier are assumed deceased.
Edited several of the web pages replacing bold text with regular text, changed copyright dates and generally cleaned up the pages.

Willard Moore sent well researched and footnoted paper on desc of Samuel Jackson s/o Thomas Jackson and Mary Townsend. This has been included in the data base. I have removed 2 children, Thomas & Deborah, from record of Samuel Jackson and Deborah Seaman. These children previously taken from a rootsweb chart but are not included in author's later work; also Willard Moore's research does not support that information. I also removed the birth date of Phebe Birdsall, wife of James Jackson, because it did not fit logically with the census records.

Rec'd very helpful email from Graham Johnson. Input his corrections and additions including obits for Alfred H. Hicks and Esther (Emory) Hicks and removed illogical birth date from Elizabeth Holmes wife of Stephen Titus.

There is an addition of a previously unknown child, Alice, dau of Coe Jackson and Sarah Duryea. Also added Alice's spouse & children. The possibility that this Alice is the same person as sibling Sarah E. is noted, but both are listed as children.  This study initiated by email from Jodi Lutter, Cornell researcher.
