Biography

Joseph's wife's name was Martha. They married ca 1733. This is the ancestor of Janice Friel, an excellent researcher who furnished much of the proof below.

Their children were:

1. Joseph Jr who married Francis Hatcher, dau of Henry Hatcher

2. Hezekiah married Elizabeth Pamplett/Pamplin on 11 Nov 1761 in Prince Edward Co VA. She was perhaps the daughter of William & Elizabeth Pamplett of Lunenburg Co. Two of their children were Josiah, born in Lunenburg, died in Jefferson Co TN; and Robert. Josiah married Susannah Fuqua 9 Aug 1785 in Charlotte Co VA.

3. Abel married Hannah Hancock daughter of Simon & Jane Flournoy Hancock

4. Cain married Druscilla Allen 13 Oct 1777 in Charlotte Co and married (2) Elizabeth Claybrook 9 Jun 1785. He died in 1821 in Charlotte Co.

5. Peter married Martha Ann Bass. He died in 1798 in Chesterfield Co VA where his will was probated Nov 1798.

6. Patience never married. VIRGINIA GAZETTE, 29 May 1778 "Miss Patience Jackson died in the bloom of life" [The articles "The Jacksons of Lower Virginia" state that Patience married Ezekiel Sudbury. In 1746, Martha Jackson, John Green & Ralph Jackson witnessed a deeds of gift from Ezekiel Sudbury to his son Ezekiel, "son of my wife Patience" By 1747, Patience had died and Ezekiel's wife was Anne. This seems to effectively remove all possibility that the right Patience has been identified as the wife of Ezekiel. Patience as a daughter of Joseph, would not have been old enough to marry Ezekiel Sudbury prior to 1747.]

7. Lucy married Joseph Powers, Jr., probably in Chesterfield Co VA. Book states he might have been a brother of Sampson Power who married Phoebe, dau of Ralph Jackson III, but then there is no such marriage given ????

8. Ezekiel married Sara Cogbill, daughter of George Cogbill and (2) Rhoda Dance on 22 Dec 1789 in Chesterfield Co.

9. Martha married Joseph Watkins, son of William Watkins, probably in Chesterfield Co. Joseph Watkins' will filed in Chesterfield in 1821. A son William was executor along with his mother.

Joseph was about 9 years old when his father died. Joseph inherited 100 acres on the North side of Swift Creek from his father - this was Henrico Co until 1749 when his property became part of the new Chesterfield Co.

Research Notes

Online trees have planted a Joseph who married Ann Jarvis of Goochland VA in this place.[1] I believe that is an error - names of children and grandchildren separate this family. I don't know who the father of the Joseph who married Ann Jarvis might of been, but I believe it was not Ralph Jackson.


Wiki Conventions have changed which includes "span", "names" and "emails" which are no longer allowed. So I will be cleaning up this profile to follow Wiki Protocols. I encourage you to make sure I don't remove anything important even as I will copy this profile into a Free Space so if I accidentally delete anything important we can bring it back.
Also, I just checked and both profiles display "Michael Jackson's" Y-DNA so they both are within the same family. Though we are not allowed to source from paid sites since these sites are only accessible for paid members, they don't work well on a family profile. With this said, if a name is listed in International Marriages, and Sourced on this profile, it can't be dismissed and needs further reseach by someone

There is a profile on FamilySearch's FamilyTree site for the Joseph Jackson who married Ann Jarvis, identifying him as the Joseph Jackson who came from England perhaps around 1725, settled in Bedford County, Va., left a will there, and whose family ended up in Clark County, Kentucky. The "Jarvis" connection is very obvious in that he named a son "Jarvis Jackson." I agree with the author of this Wikitree profile (see "Research Notes") that that Joseph Jackson who md. Ann Jarvis) cannot possibly be a son of Ralph Jackson, nor can Ralph have had two different sons named Joseph whose life spans overlapped, children of the same mother. "Joseph Jackson Sr." (Jackson-37433) should be removed as a child of Ralph Jackson.

I am a descendant of Ralph Jackson through Williams Taylor Jackson. Wiki's protocol for profiles have changed which I've said in Research and Notes. Additionally, I'd be cautious about removing the Joseph who married Ann Jarvis especially as Michael Jackson's Y DNA appears on both profiles. Just as interesting is that a Source listed on this profile has Anne Jarvis as Joseph's wife. It is possible they both belong to this family, but need more research to see where and how. With that said paper trails from Wills establish Ralph's wife was Leah Williams, Leah Neale so I will be changing the mother's name to fit with the rest of the ramily.
