Dee - My Thomas Jackson was born in 1788, but not in PA, as some records have it (unless I've mixed him up with another), but in Charlotte County, Nova Scotia. His parents (John and Susanna Jackson Jackson) had left Chester County in PA in 1783 to pioneer in a new Quaker settlement in Canada, and he was the only one of their children acrually born in Canada. His family returned to the Former Colonies in 1792, to Baltimore where his father died in 1795. The last Quaker record that I've found for the 11-year-old Thomas (and his siblings) has him at the Kennett (Square) Monthly Meeting in Chester County PA in 1799. I believe that he married (wife's name unknown) in about 1813-14, and his son, John C. Jackson was born in 1815. There is a Thomas Jackson censused in East Marlborough Twp. on Chester County in 1820 with one young son. But then in 1830, 40, and 1850, he has a wife Mary and several children, none of whom are Thomas. I suspect that John C. left home in the early 1830's and went West. John C. was one of my great-grandfathers. He first appears again in the records of marriages in Lake Forest IL in 1855. My quest is to find whether he was truly linked to the East Marlborough family, what his mother's name was, and where he was between the early 1830's and 1855.
By the way, he did have a brother named Samuel who tracked with this family to Canada and back to Baltimore and to Kennett Quaker MM.
