Bio Notes from John Jackson Find-A-Grave

Should Mary (Jackson) Foster (1639-1677) be added as a child? She appears to be connected to the wrong mother Katheryne Jackson (1606-1639).
posted by M Johnson
Although Mary (Jackson) Foster (1639-1677) is attached as John's daughter, matches have been rejected twice between Mary's attached mother, Katherine, and the John's attached wife, Katherine.

Mary's birth ("8 Dec 1639 in Exeter, Devon, England") is unsourced, as is also, for that matter, her marriage "5 May 1658 in Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts Bay" to Isaac Foster.

Without supporting reliable sources and sound analysis as to her birth and parentage, the linked child, Mary Foster, should be severed as the daughter of PGM John Jackson, with appropriate disputed associations comments entered on both profiles.

I have posted the following message to Mary's profile.

Profile lacks reliable sources and sound analysis as regards her birth and parentage.
Profile reads, "The 1MAy2016 profile had the correct parents"--but her linked father (PGM) was at Ipswich years before this Mary is reported born at England. As well, matches between Mary's mother and her linked father's wife have been twice rejected.
"Something's gotta give ..." comes to mind.
Without supporting reliable sources and sound analysis, the linked child, Mary Foster, should be severed as the daughter of PGM John Jackson.

It may be time for another look at Mary as a child.

1) Her marriage is now sourced. 2) Her unsourced birth has been estimated based on her marriage and is no longer in conflict with her father’s arrival in Ipswich. 3) Potential errors in the work of Savage and Anderson are discussed in her profile and in her father’s profile. 4) The attachment as an uncertain daughter of John but not to John’s wife is out of balance.

Katherine would be an uncertain parent like John, for all the reasons outlined in John and Mary’s profiles.

If she is not connected as a daughter to this profile, then she should be disconnected as the daughter of John as well.

Thx, Mike

Thank you for your work on this. I don’t see any compelling info to suggest Mary was a daughter of John and Katherine. I agree that either both parents should be uncertain parents, or both should be detached with ample info and links in all 3 profiles in case they are found in reliable sources to be her parents.

Hi Mike,

Yes, good work.

Has anyone found anything--court records, deeds, etc.--that could associate Mary or Isaac with her parents? Likewise, other than her marriage date, are there any records that indicate her age?

Anderson did not name Elizabeth (Jackson) West as the daughter of John and Katherine either. In that case, however, we have the record of her death, which provides a basis for her age and parentage. See Vital Records of Beverly for "Elizebeth [West], w. Capt. Thomas, d. John and Kathrin Jackson, Oct. 12, 1708, a. 66 y. 9 m." (InternetArchive).

Believe I had posted the links for deed research on the profile of Mary (Jackson) Foster hoping someone might look at those more carefully. --Gene

I looked through the deed records, but nothing jumped out as far as I could tell. Thanks for posting them by the way.

Jackson-5506 and Unknown-209691 do not represent the same person because: The two John Jacksons associated with these two wives do not match. Nothing has very good sources to confirm information.

Jackson-5506 and Unknown-209691 appear to represent the same person because: I'm not positive these are the same, but they link to the same FindAGrave profile. Careful review needed before merging.
