Genealogy of the Jackson and Associated Families

 

Generation 2
Children of Ralph Jackson and Leah Williams

 

D. William/Williams Jackson

 

     William/Williams Jackson was probably born in Virginia, although some researchers place his birth in Cowick, Snaith, Yorkshire, England. Given the approximate birth date of William and his father's known whereabouts at that time, it seems highly unlikely that William's birth took place outside of Virginia.  He married Sarah (Mary) Burton, daughter of John Burton (~1664 - ?) about 1715 in Virginia. Sarah is believed to have been born in Henrico County, Virginia. Both Williams and Sarah passed away in Dale Parish, Henrico County, Virginia.1,2,3,4,5,25
