DNA Research

Now, IT IS A STUDIED CONJECTURE THAT SAMUEL JACKSON IS THE SON OF FRANCIS JACKSON SR. and brother to Francis Jackson the second. The Y-DNA of descendants of both men indicate a close family relationship such that they could be brothers.. Note from Jack McAnally: "Descendants of both Samuel and Francis all match the Hempstead DNA sufficiently such that Samuel Sr. 1134 and Francis Sr. 107 could be brothers. Your studied conjecture will fit within the possibilities of the Y-DNA information, but the Y-DNA info does not in any way help prove the conjecture other than these early Jackson were all related in some way. You have picked one of the possible ways. We don't have enough Y-DNA information to refute or prove the conjecture just enough to say it is possible.".

Both Samuel and Francis were in the same locality. No record has been found of Samuel owning any land. He left no land to descendants in his will. This may be consistent with his older brother (Francis) inheriting their father's land.

Research Notes

1723 Francis (2-107), the original owner of 227 acres is deceased by 1723 and his son Francis (3-105) is wanting a deed in his own name to the original 227 acres plus the surplus 113 acres. NOTE: "deed to his father". (The original 1712 deed was to a Francis Jackson (2-107) thus proving the relationship between the two Francis Jacksons.).

• Paternal Relationship through Y-chromosome DNA testing

John R. McAnally , FTDNA kit 17236, and his 7th cousin Lee Spencer Jackson , FTDNA kit 151782, match genetic distance of 5 on 111 markers confirming their direct paternal line back to their MRCA Francis Jackson Sr , FTDNA indicates that the probability the two share a common ancestor within the last 7 generation is 82.24%.
