John Little[4] and his brother, "Squire" Thomas Little, sons of Theophilus Little, each married Jackson sisters, Ann and Lydia, respectively. The Little family were Quakers and daughters of Benjamin Jackson and his wife Rebecca Greene of Rhode Island. Ann was somehow closely realted to future President of the United States Andrew Jackson, probably as an aunt. Tobias Little, her grandson, spent summers at The Hermitage, or Andrew Jackson's home, near Nashville, Tennessee with his mother, Sarah Wisner Little. Benjamin Jackson Little, son of John[4] and Ann, is Benjamin Jackson's name sake. Isabel Little, the granddaughter of the emigrant John Little[1] and first cousin to Theophilus, married Andrew McDowell. This all occured before 1800 and before Theophilus moved his family to PA. In fact, there is no evidence that the original Jackson family ever moved to Pennsylvania. In fact, Ann died before John[4] moved to Pennsylvania with his second wife, Mercy Dennis.
Note: Mercy was likely the sister of the deceased husband of Major Benjamin Dennis, the deceased husband of John[3] Little's sister Hannah Little.

There was also a Jackson family that came to prominence in Sullivan County early in its history, but after the Little family began to buy land and move there. This was the family of Samuel Jackson. It is not known at this time if this family and the Jackson family to whom the Littles initially married in New Jersey are related.

Samuel JACKSON, was one of the leading businessmen of Dushore. His ancestors came to Pennsylvania with William PENN, locating in Chester Co. For many generations, they were connected with the Society of Friends or Quakers. A branch of the family settled Catawissa, PA. From there, he moved with his father to Toronto, Canada, where both engaged in manufacturing hats, being hatters by trade. In the war of 1812, Samuel JACKSON joined the United States Army, holding the rank of Captain. At the close of the war, the family moved to Cherry township, engaging in the mercantile business, first on Bahr's Hill or Cherry Hill, as it was then known. Seeing that the business interests would eventually be moved from Cherry Hill to Dushore, or Mosier Hollow as it was then called. Mr. JACKSON moved his business from Cherry Hill to the Hollow, where Dushore is now located.

The parents of Samuel JACKSON were Samuel and Hanna (DAVIS) JACKSON, and to them were born eleven children:
