+ 2 i. Burwell2 Jackson, died 1792 in Nottoway County, Virginia.
Generation No. 2
2. Burwell2 Jackson (Matthew1) died 1792 in Nottoway County, Virginia. He married (1) ? Dunnivant. He married (2) Lucy Ferguson1 October 26, 1787 in Amelia County, Virginia2, daughter of Peleg Ferguson and Faith Anderson. She was born Bef. 1770 in Amelia County, Virginia, and died Aft. 1830 in Nottoway County, Virginia.
Notes for ? Dunnivant:
An examination of Burwell Jackson's 1792 will reveals that the first three of his children had been adopted by the Dunnivant family. As he was only married to his second wife for 5 years there was not enough time fo him to have 5 children by her, thus it is likely that the first three children were from a first wife connected to the Dunnivant family.
Notes for Lucy Ferguson:
Lucy's father was Peleg Ferguson, who remarried after her mother's death. Her mother was Faith Anderson. No contemporary birth record is known. The genealogy of Grant J. Anderson in 1909 lists her as the daughter of Faith Anderson, sister of Jordan, Thomas, John and James.
There is a Jackson Genealogy in the Amelia County Historical Society which erroneously states that Lucy was the first wife of Burwell Jackson, of Amelia County, who later became a surveyor in Logan County, Kentucky. It is clear from my examination that there were two Burwell Jackson's, probably of the same family perhaps cousins.
I am not sure that I understand the exact relationship with Fountain Tankersley. It appears that she married him after the death of her husband, and that he thereafter adopted some but not all of her children.
This family resided near Charles Anderson an unrelated descendant of Reynard Anderson and becomes intertwined with them.
The children were apparently indentured or apprenticed. Possibly the first three were children of Burwell Jackson's first wife and were adopted by the Dunnivant family as they are listed with the last name Dunnivant in the will. Fountain Tankersley is the guardian of Nelson and Ann.
Will of Burwell Jackson is filed in Nottoway County Wills. None known for Lucy.
The estate sale of Burwell Jackson says that John May made the coffin, David Vaughan bought the land.
