William Jackson Lumbee American Indians

born: ~1737
died: 1792

William Jackson is the patriarch of the Jackson family in the North Carolina region. We don't know anything about William's parents.

I got a TON of information about this Jackson tree from Evyonne Eddins - evonandrews*AT*sbcglobal.net who graciously allowed me to put it online. Evyonne's research is simply amazing!!!

From Evyonne:

"William Jackson was born about 1737 possibly in Northern Ireland, and married Margaret Wilson about 1755 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Margaret was the daughter of Andrews and Ruth (..?..) Wilson of Lancaster County. Pennsylvania who also migrated into Guilford County, NC. He had a second marriage to Margareth Liviston on 13 June 1763 as shown on page 411 Records of Pennsylvana Marriages Prior to 1810 entitled “Marriage Records of the Swedes Church Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. William died shortly after he wrote his will dated 1 October 1792 with his estate probated during the month of 1792 and Recorded within the November Term of 1792 within Guilford County, North Carolina. "

William Jackson's children with wife Margaret Wilson Jackson are:

Mary Jackson (born ~1755)
Andrew Jackson (born ~1769)
William Jackson (born 1774, married Elizabeth Oxendine)
John Jackson (born ~1778) Guilford County, NC
Naomi Jackson (born ~1784 Guilford County, NC; married David Oxendine)

Note that Andrew, William and John's lines have been DNA tested and verified.

1790 Census

In 1790, William and his wife were living in Guilford County, North Carolina with son Andrew, Andrew's wife Nancy, plus "three unknown females". One of those would be his daughter Mary. Andrew's first child wasn't born until 1791, and if young William wasn't born yet, then it's unlikely that young Naomi wasn't born yet either. John must be out of the house as a servant elsewhere?

William and Naomi married a brother-sister pair:
