His son Phillip held the first "vendue" or tax sale on March 22, 1794 in Eaton, atthis time the rights of 42 of the grantees were bid in, 26 of them byDr James Jackson, Jr {our progenitor} and Henry Wood. He was a ship'ssurgeon in the Revolutionary War. In 1853 the western part of Eaton broke away from the eastern part to become the town of Madison, nearly all of the Jackson families lived in the western part of Eaton, (from Nicholas Jackson of Rowley, Massachusetts and his Descendants)

The Jacksons owned land in the Madison Corner area. [p. 12] Dr James Jackson and four of his sons came up from Rochester. [p. 16] James, Samuel, Phillip and Ebeneezer Jackson are listed as "Fathers of Eaton in1790". Eaton grew steadily from 1790 to 1850. In 1880, population is 381, 1810 - 535, 1820 - 1071, 1830 - 1432, 1840 - 1710, 1850 - 1743. Populations declined beginning in 1860. [p. 28] James Jackson was the Head of the Superintending Commitee for his School District in 1834. [p. 43] On March 12, 1811William Hill's children were vendued (put up for sale to the highest bidder). "Jonathan Jackson Bid of Shadnick [Shadrack] & give 3 Dollars" Jonathan paid the town for the use of the child for one year. William Hill, the father of these children, went off to the War of 1812 under Capt. Jonathan Stark in 1813, and died in theservice in 1814.
