Many secondary sources before the 250th Anniversary of Southold showed the mother of Elizabeth to be Sarah Vail. The publication made for the 250th Anniversary contained information that disproved that assertion and asserted she was actually Sarah Jackson, daughter of Robert Jackson & Agnes Washburn of Hempstead. Details are shown below:

Celebration Committee, Southold, LI, NY - Celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the Formation of (Town of Southold, 1890), Google Books, pg 194 - Sarah Jackson proclamed wife of Nathaniel Moore - Sarah Vail is mistake.

"Robert Jackson, one of the original settlers of Stamford, Conn., bora as early as 1620, married Agnes, daughter of William Washbourne, who came to Long Island from Sandwich with Rev. Mr. Leverich. Mr. Jackson was at Stamford, Conn., in 1641-42; was on a committee sent to Long Island in 1643; crossed the sound to Hempstead Harbor, L. L, in the Spring of 1644, and aided a settlement at Hempstead village (perhaps as a carpenter); became one of the English proprietors of Hempstead, L. I., west of the truce line. He afterwards was present at a purchase from Indians in 1656, (he and another gave them two great kettles, perhaps wanted as helmets); was applicant for a patent at Jamaica; had 20 cattle, 13 cows, 2 calves, 37 acres of meadow in 1657; made 20 lengths of the general fence in 1658; was presented to the Governor for a magistrate in 1662 and appointed; had a house southeast from Hempstead village in 1664; was chosen constable (highest town office) in 1671; was Schepen under the Dutch in 1673; was one of the overseers of the town in 1676; agreed (at the head of the list) to contribute £2 yearly towards the support of Rev. Jeremiah Hobart, brother of the second pastor of Southold; made his will dated 25th May, 1683, which was recorded in the County Clerk's office of Queens County, Liber A, p. 11, in 1687-the oldest will so recorded, he dying in that year.

His son John became the first Col. John Jackson of Queens County, and died in 1726. He held many public offices. He married Elizabeth, daughter of John Seaman, son-in-law of our Thomas Moore, of Southold, and had a large family, including the second Col. John. Robert Jackson's daughter Martha in 1667, married Nathaniel Coles, of Oyster Bay.

His daughter Sarah became the wife of Nathaniel, the son of Thomas Moore, shipwright, of Southold, and received a bequest by Robert Jackson's will in 1683. He, Nathaniel, became an active ship master, was employed to carry furniture to Lloyds Neck in 1678, lived until 20th April, 1698, acquired land in Westchester County and left a will, in which he called Jeremiah Vail his brother-in-law. It was hastily supposed from this that he had married a sister of Jeremiah Vail; but this was afterwards found to be an error. Vail had married Anne, the widow of Nathaniel's brother, Benjamin Moore, and in that way was his brother-in-law. Sarah, daughter of Robert Jackson, survived Nathaniel Moore, and died his widow on 10th June, 1733. Their son, Nathaniel Moore, Jr., died unmarried in 1699. Their daughter Hannah married John Terry (No. 654 of index, son of Richard) and left many descendants. Their daughter Abigail married Isaac Overton-page 502 of index. Their daughter Elizabeth married Christopher Youngs (No. 743 of index), and their daughter Deborah married John Boisseau, the Huguenot. There was another daughter, probably unmarried."
