1) Petition for land grant. Original is at New Brunswick, Can Provincial Archives in Fredericton; I have a photocopy, which carries William Jackson's signature. "Memorial of William Jackson and others, of the Parish of St. David in the County of Charlotte, 17th April 1804."
"To the Honorable Gabriel G. Ludlow Esqr. President of His Majesty's Council and Commander in chief of the Province of New Brunswick, Can &c, &c, &c, --
"The Memorial of William Jackson, Vance Clendinnen, Thomas MLaughlin Junr, Stephen Shareman, Aaron Stores, Benjamin & Asa Foster, James Brown, Samuel Brown, Green Brown, Elijah Brown, John Tuel, Zachariah MLaughlin and Samuel Finlayson, all of the Parish of Saint David in the County of Charlotte, "Humbly Sheweth, "That your Memorialists are Inhabitants of the County of Charlotte and are
firmly attached to the British Government and Constitution. That several years ago they have removed with their families from different parts of the States (except the first of your Memorialists who arrived here at the Close of the American war after serving His Majesty's in various stations during that
unhappy Contest) with a firm resolution to become permanent settlers in this Province, and having taken the Oath of allegiance to His Majesty,
"That all of them (except your memorialists Jackson, McLaughlin's, and Clendinnen, who have received a Lot each of very indifferent Land) are yet unprovided with any Land from Government tho' the greater part of them have numerous families to support --- Memorialists therefore humbly pray your Honor will be pleased to take this situation into your wise consideration and Grant them the several Lots set against their respective names in the annexed schedule or such a proportion thereof as in your wisdom may seem meet -- and your Memorialists as in duty bound shall ever pray

In the annexed schedule, William Jackson asks for Lots No. 1, 3, & 4 in Block Letter D, Fanning's Division. A memo on the outside of the document: "21st March 1806, may be registered for the vacant lots as marked." On the schedule are notes added at William Jackson's name: "No. 1 in D Fanng. improved by Davis Collin[g]s; 3 & 4 vacant."
Note: In a separate petition, on 10 January 1807 Davis Collings petitioned for a grant of these three lots; in this petition, William Jackson relinquished his claim to the lots, in favor of Collings.
2) This may (or may not?) be our William Jackson:
"Jackson, William. Lieutenant in Orange Rangers c1783, age 48, from England, served British Corps 23 years, Provincial Corps 6 years. Also listed in same regiment as an Adjutant, same age, same place of birth, but served Provincial Corps 5 years."
In: Burnell, Paul J. The New Loyalist Index, Volume II. (Bowie, Md. : Heritage Books, c1996), p. 100.
Burnell list as his source: List of Loyalist Officers from the H. T. Hazen Collection at the New Brunswick, Can Museum Archives Department in St. John, N.B., Can (Box 10, F6A). The original is from a small book (7 1/2 x 9) inches written in pen (paper very brittle), work compiled by George H. Hayward, CG,
(C). Lists made before Oct. 1783, probably between May/Oct. 1783.
3) Source: Charlotte County Land Grants 1785-1831. Microfilm Reel #L-80, Provincial Archives of New Brunswick, Can, Fredericton, N.B.
Original grantee, William Jackson; Title of Grant, Captn. N. Marks; Parish, St. Stephen; Date of Grant, 16 Sept. 1784; 200 acres; Quit Rent, L2 per 100 acres.

4) Notes: I have copies of several other petitions for land grants, various dates, which mention our William Jackson in Charlotte County.
5) I also have photocopies of two other land petitions concerning a different William Jackson who settled on the upper Saint John River near Woodstock (the original petitions are at N.B. Provincial Archives, Fredericton):
a) "York 146. Benjn. P. Griffith and [23] others" March 29, 1786. "We whos names are here unto subscribed do certify that we have not the smallest objection to Captain Smiths having a grant of an island by the name of Madunnehick Island lying in our settlement between No. 6 & 7." Memo on outside
of document: "Capt. Smith. respecting Maductic Island. In Council 14th July 1786. To be registered for Maductic Island by the consint of the settlers in the vicinity." One of the signatures is that of a William Jackson; it is in a different handwriting than the signature of our William Jackson of Charlotte
County.
b) "62. Joseph Cunliffe and [nine] others" Parish of Woodstock, County of York, Province of New Bew Brunswick, dated April 2nd 1800. "Some of us has been upwards of ten years on our respective lands, and (as yet) has not been able to obtain a grant for the same ..." William Jackson is asking for lot #43.
