About John Jackson

From Bill Jackson, researcher: "At least three sons of James left New England for North Carolina long before the war. Benjamin settled in Anson County in the Pee Dee region with Stephen and John, the Jackson who sold the forge in New Jersey.

"In 1764, the brothers found themselves in another state – without moving. Redrawing of North Carolina’s border put the Pee Dee in South Carolina, in the Cheraws District that later became Chesterfield County."

Bob Mitchell writes: "Richmond County was formed from part of Anson Co., in 1779. The county seat of Anson Co., west of the Pee Dee River was difficult for the residents east of the river to reach for business, especially during spring floods. Richmond County is bound on the west by Anson Co., and on the South by Chesterfield Co. It is in the area that was referred to as the Cheraws Dist in the late 1700's. My guess is that John Jackson Sr.'s family wound up in Richmond Co., instead of Anson or Chesterfield after the shifting of boundaries. This will help in the hunt for the John/Jonathan Jacksons of the Cheraws."

From Bob Mitchell: North Carolina Wills, Book J, Page 8 Will of John Jackson in Anson County N. C. ...daughters Elizabeth , Mary, Sarah and Rebecca, each 5 Sh., my lands and all my movable estate to be sold to the best advantage and the money to be paid as follows: to Daughters Phebe, Jemimah and Hannah to have it equally divided between them. Stephen Jackson and John Perkins, exrs. 15 April 1768 Wit. Job Meadow, John May, Charles Booth Executed 1772, Anson Co., NC
