    Notes:

    Deed: September 19, 1771, 248 acres Terrible Creek, John Jackson of Halifax County to Ephraim Jackson, same county, 248 acres branch of Terrible Creek, granted to Martin Brown by Letters Patent 16 August 1756 and sold to John Jackson, father to above named John and Ephraim Jackson and deeded to him. Signed John Jackson. Witnesses: George Watkins, John Leak, Micajah Watkins, Wm Lawson, John Milner. Recorded September 19, 1771 (Halifax DB 8, page 260) Hannah was his widow and she retained her dower right to one-third of the 248 acres which amounted to 80 acres. She shows up on the Halifax County tax lists until 1800. Because she was a widow she paid no taxes. There was another John Jackson in Halifax County at the same time, which greatly increases the research difficulties. He was from Amelia/Prince Edward and his family has been well researched.

    John Jackson, Sr. lived on Terrible Creek, Halifax County, Virginia. He was there at least by 1763 when he bought the land described below. Deed: Martin Brown of Halifax County sells to John Jackson of the same county 248 acres on the north fork of Terrible Creek, beginning at William Russell's, Givens line, John Sparrows - signed by Martin W. Brown, his wife Mary acknowledges her dower. Witness by James Bates, James Leek, William Leek, December 15, 1763 (3rd year of the reign of George 3rd.) (Halifax DB 4, page 443). This is the same land he gave to his sons John Jr. and Ephraim.

    John married Hannah Mrs. John Jackson Bef 1750. Hannah was born Est 1730; died Abt 1800, Halifax Co., Virginia. [Group Sheet]


  4. 13.  Hannah Mrs. John Jackson was born Est 1730; died Abt 1800, Halifax Co., Virginia.

    Notes:

    Hannah Jackson's age is estimated from the fact that John,
    Jr., her presumed son was born before 1750. She lived
    until about 1800 when she went off the tax rolls - although
    she never paid taxes because she was a widow.

    Children:
    1. 6. Ephraim/Ephram Jackson was born Abt 1750, Colonial Virginia; died 1832, Pittsylvania County, Virginia.
    2. John Jackson was born Bef 1750, Prince Edward Co., Colonial Virginia; died Yes, date unknown.
