Jackson Family
page 1
Nathan Jackson is the earliest Jackson known so far, found on the 1759
Tax List of Rowan County, North Carolina. The names of his wife and
father are unknown. It is thought that Nathan might have been a brother
to Samuel Jackson, who came to the area about the same time as Nathan.
His father may have been John Jackson, who likewise came to the area
about the same time. If Nathan was a brother to Samuel Jackson, he was
an emigrant from Northern Ireland.
It is believed that Nathan Jackson had two and possibly three sons. The
early Tax Lists of Rowan County, North Carolina name only Edward, but
bits of evidence indicate the eldest son was John Jackson, born in
Maryland. John came with his father to North Carolina when a young boy.
He was a member of Sandy Creek Baptist Church and served with American
forces from North Carolina in the Revolution. John removed to Warren
County, Georgia and had a son named Nathan. The other possible son was
Joseph Jackson, who was younger than Edward.
Edward Jackson, son of Nathan, was born about 1755 and died about 1822
in Burke County, North Carolina. No record of Edward Jackson owning
land in Rowan, Guilford, or Randolph County has been found. Neither has
any record of his service in the Revolutionary War, participation in
the Movement of Regulations, Tory activity, nor affiliation with the
Quakers been located, although he was of the proper age, in the right
location, and at the right time to have been involved in one of these.
Edward Jackson was still in Randolph County on December 17, 1782, when
he witnessed the deed of Josiah Lamb to Edward Beeson. The 1785 Tax
List, Randolph County, North Carolina, Captain John Welborn's District,
taken by Zebedee Wood, shows Edward Jackson 1 poll - no land;
also, Joseph Jackson 1 poll - 100 acres on Deep River.
Edward Jackson came to southwest Burke County, North Carolina before
1790 and settled on a branch of Crooked Creek on the south side of the
Catawba River. He was a neighbor to John Pittillo, Amos Chaffin, John
Noblet, Robert Hodge, and Michael Souther, with whom his descendants
intermarried.
On the 1793 Tax List of Burke County, North Carolina, Captain Adam's
Company, there is listed Edward and John Jackson, no land, and one poll
each.
At the April Term of the Burke County Court of Pleas and Quarter
Sessions, a Deed, dated September 13, 1792, for 185 acres of land, from
Edward Vance to Edward Jackson was proved. And at the January 1798 Term
of the Court, a deed dated March 1, 1797, 115 acres of land from John
Gilliland to John Jackson was proved. By virtue of Warrant #3852, dated
August 9, 1800, a survey for Edward Jackson for 30 acres lying on the
south side of Byers Fork and bounded on the west by Robert Hodges, Sr.
was made August 24, 1802. Millington Pittillo and Elijah Green were the
chain carriers. The Burke
Journal, Burke Genealogical
Society, Vol. XII No. 3, August 1994, pp. 4-6.
“To the Worshipful Court in Morganton Sitting We the inhabitance of
