Note

In 1748, Ralph Jackson deeded 200 acres to his son Francis, land in Amelia Co. His wife is believed to be Mary Stewart, but I think this is doubtful - I've seen no proof.

p.419 Jan 1748 Deed of Gift Ralph Jackson of Dale Parish, Henrico, to son Francis Jackson. For natural affection. 200 acres, adj Ward's corner, lines of Jones, Towns, Samuel Jones' corner near head of a branch of Buckskin Crk. Wit: Benj. Stogner, Francis Osborne, Robt Thompson. Rec. 20 Jul 1750.

His will was dated 9 Oct 1792 and probated 29 Dec 1792. He referred to himself as Francis Jackson Senr and named children: sons - Burwell, Joel, John, and Francis, and son Leigh Wilkerson, and a daughter Polly Vaughn. He willed his house for 5 years to Sarah Hamblin who was living with him, after which the house would return to his sons.

[This abstract is incomplete - he also mentioned daughter Elizabeth, son Stewart, and Kitty Hamblin. A good example as to why one should go to the source.]
