Biography

There is little information available about Maria Ann Blakeney. FamilySearch.org indicates she was born about 1808 but provides no documentation.

She was undoubtedly born in New York City to Thomas Blakeney, Jr. and Catherine Mildeberger and married one Joseph Jackson.^[1]

Included on page 19 of Frost's "Ancestors of Benjamin Ferris Blakeney and His Wife Stella Peronne Sabin" is the following:

Aunt Maria, the eldest daughter of my grandfather, married Joseph

Jackson and one son survived them, named Joseph Thomas Jackson;

Aunt Maria had her genteel peculiarities which, as I thoughtfully look

back, were beautiful characteristics. Her tone and manner were innate

and gentility itself, with every expression of endearment. In speaking

of her deceased husband she would always say "My dearly beloved

companion"; When greeting my father it was always "And how is my

dearly beloved brother Tommy today?" I appreciate her memory, I

can assure you, her manners were all so natural and unaffected. What

a pleasure it would be to meet those tones beyond the vale.

The above notes are as of January 24, 2024.
