2. For one account of the family tradition of a Scots ancestor, see The Clyde Enterprise, Thursday, 18 Feb 1892, as transcribed on http://www.jacksonfamilygenealogy.com/pages/historicalstoriesJosephJackson1795.htm that quotes Joseph Jackson: "My grandfather Jackson was a Scotchman; his wife was a Frenchwoman." Be sure to see also Janie's note at the very bottom of the page. The Joseph of long memory was the son of Daniel, son of Joseph, son of James, son of John, son of Robert. Which wife was from France? "Grandfather" General Joseph Jackson was married to Margaret BURGESS first, and then to Mary Ann ROBINSON, both of whom sound more English than Huguenot, although of course spellings did morph. But Gen. Joseph was still at least three generations removed from the immigrant.

3. See, for example, Charles Henry Pope, The Pioneers of Massachusetts, A Descriptive List . . . (Boston: Published by Charles H. Pope, 1900), 254; Vernon Heaton, The Mayflower (NYC: Mayflower Books, 1980), 37-42; lots of references over the years in New England Historical and Genealogical Register. For the record of Richard Jackson in Southold, Long Island, see Charles B. Moore, Town of Southold, Long Island, Personal Index prior to 1698, and Index of 1698. ... (New York: John Medole, Printer, 1868), 24. The SoutholdIndex.pdf is available on http://longislandgenealogy.com/BooksOnline.html No Jacksons appear in the 1698 census for Southold, Ibid., 95.

Joseph Hunter, Collections Concerning the Church or Congregation of Protestant Separatists Formed at Scrooby in North Nottinghamshire, in the Time of King James I: The Founders of New-Plymouth, the Parent-Colony of New-England (London: John Russell Smith, 1854; digital facsimile reproduced by Google Book Search, http://books.google.com/books?id=fHir6HSEkEcC&pg=RA1-PA128&lpg=RA1-PA128&dq=scrooby+jackson+nottinghamshire&source=web&ots=O9VGcXlxKc&sig=svuCrErM2EiGmkz0VBuCZZ23Q9g#PRA1-PA130,M1 ) 131. I am greatly indebted to Janie for bringing this to my attention.

6. There is a plethora of books now about the Pilgrims. This account is taken mostly from Vernon Heaton, The Mayflower (NYC: Mayflower books, 1980), 37-38. It corrects some of the earlier account by Hunter, The Founders of New-Plymouth, 72-73, 130-31. The dates may not quite compute. April 1608 is from Hunter, Dec. 1607 from Heaton. A little more research is needed.

7. Heaton, The Mayflower, 38-41, gives a more detailed account than is in Hunter, The Founders of New-Plymouth, 131-5. The latter conflates the two attempts at emigration. For their life in Leyden, see Heaton, The Mayflower, 42ff; and the 56 page pamphlet by Jeremy Bangs, The Pilgrims in the Netherlands--Recent Research (Leiden, 1984).

34. From http://www.newsday.com/community/guide/lihistory/ny-history-hs304a,0,5912509.story?coll=ny-lihistory-navigation seen 3/20, 2007. My thanks to Janie Jackson Kimble for bringing this to my attention. Deborah Dunch was born in London in 1586, married Henry Moody who was later given a knighthood, and widowed in 1629 when Deborah was about 33 years old. She emigrated to Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1639, and left in 1643. The fledgling settlement at Gravesend was attacked by Indians from up the Hudson, and the settlers removed to Amersfoort (Flatlands) until they got their patent and returned. Dame Deborah died ca. 1659, aged about 73. See also "Lady Deborah Moody", on http://longislandgenealogy.com/moodygrave/LadyMoody.htm This article includes the names of those who held the first 40 plots, and also those of the first division of land.

35. Robert Fowler's own account of the remarkable voyage is reprinted in James Bowden, The History of the Society of Friends in America (London: Charles Gilpin, 1850), 1:63-67. A shorter, perhaps more readable version, is in Elfrida Vipont, George Fox and the Valiant Sixty (Philadelphia: Friends General Conference, 1997), 107-8. See also Bowden, The History of the Society of Friends in America, 309-320.

36. Bowden, The History of the Society of Friends in America, 311, 316. My guess is that this was Capt. Thomas Willett, New England merchant and first mayor of New York City in 1665. The irony is that by 1714 there were Quaker Willetts in New York. That year John Willett, the grandson of the other Thomas Willett, married Mary Rodman of Flushing. Their descendants were the Quaker Willetts, many of whom removed to New Jersey and Pennsylvania. For more on the Willett family, see Genealogies of Long Island Families, From The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record Vol. ii: Praa-Youngs (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1987), 700-742.

44. My thanks to Janie Jackson Kimble's e mail of 2/20/2007 for this information. She cites John Henry Jones, The Jones Family of Long Island, Descendants of Major Thomas Jones and Allied Families (New York: Tobias A. Wright, 1907), 352, referencing Vol. 7, p. 32 of Deeds, Secy. of State Office, Albany, N.Y.

45. The will was transcribed from the first book of Records, Queens County, Long Island, New York, by Robbins, included in his book, and posted on the web at www.jacksonfamilygenealogy.com/pages/willrobertjackson.htm (seen 9/16/2005).

46. Descendants now spell the name SEAMAN. There has been confusion over the number of wives that John had. This has been straightened out by Janie Kimble on her web page, http://www.jacksonfamilygenealogy.com. For an example of the confusion, see Oscar Burton Robbins, History of the Jackson Family of Hempstead, Long Island, N.Y., Ohio and Indiana: Descendants of Robert and Agnes Washburne Jackson (©1951). The correct wife is in Norman Davis, Westchester Patriarchs: a genealogical dictionary of Westchester County, New York, families prior to 1755 (Bowie, Md. : Heritage Books, 1988), 133. I have not yet had an opportunity to check primary sources, but am very appreciative of the work done by Janie Kimble.

47. My thanks to Janie Jackson Kimble's e mail of 2/20/2007, and her web site, http://www.jacksonfamilygenealogy.com/pages/conflictingstoryoftwowives.htm for sorting out the often repeated misunderstanding that John-the-father had two wives, instead of one of the wives (namely Elizabeth Hallett) being married to his son.
