George JACKSON of DE and PA
I am looking for source material linking Jane JACKSON to her father George JACKSON.
Jane was born in Huntingdon County, PA 19 Feb 1769 (newspaper clipping, Fairfield Jeffersonian, 1958) to George and Rachel JACKSON.She married John FEE 16 Jun 1791 in Huntingdon County (records of Rev. John Johnston, reprinted in History of Huntingdon and Blair Counties by J. Simpson Africa).
George was born in Wilmington, DE1 Nov 1737 (church records).He married Rachel, place and date unknown.He died 30 Aug 1805 in Huntingdon County, PA (History of Huntingdon and Blair Counties, J. Simpson Africa, Philadelphia, 1883, Page 294).Unfortunately he died intestate, so there is no will or probate record.Letters of Administration were granted to Rachel and William JACKSON (relationship not specified).
There was allegedly a family Bible but I have been unable to locate it.I have read several histories of Bedford, Blair and Huntingdon counties, all of which state that George is the father of Jane.However, these were all written after the principles were dead and are therefore not considered as primary source material.
If you have any information that would help me I would be extremely grateful.I have collected quite a bit of information on these families which I would be happy to share.
