Note on Husband: Stephen JACKSON

Jackson Ledger: "DAR No. 42012 (Brother of Edward) Stephen Jackson was Capt. of Calvalry in 1780 in Revolutionary War."

 

DAR ID Number 69102 per Louise Jackson Teare.

DAR ID Number 42012 per Susan Jackson Hannahs

 

Oscar Burton Robbins' book, pg 14: "Joseph Jackson died in 1769, intestate. Oct. 5, 1769, the widow Mary, and the son William, made a renunciation of their right to administer on his estate, and Oct. 6, 1769, administration was given to Stephen Jackson. Nathaniel Mitchell was fellow Bondsman."

 

Isaac Jackson Allen on pg 9 of his Allen Family Memoranda states "Job Allen II, my grandfather died in 1802. His tomb is still seen at Rockaway and his wife's beside it. His wife, (Isaac's grandmother) was Mary Mintun. She survived Job Allen II and subsequently remarried to her second husband, General Stephen Jackson."

So whether Capt. or General, Stephen was 'a major combatant'.

 

Rockaway Library documents: "Stephen was to become a driving force in the village and a major combatant in the Revolutionary War." pg 27.... Those who knew him well, described him as an active and enterprising business man with a high reputation for integrity. He was a liberal friend of the church, contributing much to its support. He was also a warm advocate of education and very instrumental in the establishment of the first school in Rockaway in 1784."
