Research Notes:
Francis Jackson and Elizabeth had a son Hugh Jackson, who was named after Hugh Dickman. According to Shrewsbury Friends Records, which are fragmentary here: "The births of Hugh Dirkman's & Grace: Elizabeth Dirkman was born at Lin [Massachusetts], on the 14th… [probably about 1660]; Mary Dirkman was born at Rode Island, on ye 14th 6th mo... [probably about 1663]." In a deed dated 14 Feb 1692, "Hugh Dickman, yeoman, [sold] to Francis Jackson, carpenter, both of Shrowsbury, for the Eastern half of a lot there, bo't of Edward Thurston of Rhode Island June 17, 1675, adjoining Thomas Huet."

Salter gave a report of this Jackson family [5]:
Francis Jackson, carpenter, bought, in 1675, Hugh Dikeman's share of land. He was attorney for Christopher Ailmy 1684. In 1686 a warrant for land was granted by Proprietors to Francis Jackson; also January, 1687, for 179 acres and March, 1687, for 100 acres. In 1694 he bought land of Hannaniah Gifford. He was court crier 1683-1. In 1696, he was witness to a deed between Thomas Cook and Thomas Webley. He d. about 1698, as in that year Samuel Leonard was administrator to his estate. He left children William, Mary, Elizabeth aged 12 years and Francis Jackson, Jr., aged 13 months. It is probable that his wife died shortly before he did as the last named child was given to the care of Francis Borden and Jane his wife, and the administrator was directed to pay for its care; the dau. Elizabeth was also given in care of Francis Borden, who may have been related. The son William was placed with George Allen to learn the weaver's trade; the dau. Mary was placed with John Worthly and Elizabeth his wife. Francis had bequest in will of Francis Borden, 1703. In old Shrewsbury township, among taxpayers in 1761 were Benjamin Jackson, William Jackson and son, and William Jackson, Jr. In 1776 Henry and Richard Jackson lived in Freehold. Edwin Jackson, an aged citizen of Toms River, who lived at one time on the Salter place on the bay, d. Oct. 30, 1883, a. 93 years. In 1815, March 21, Joseph Salter and m'. Rachel deeded this land to Nathaniel Jackson, Edwin Jackson and Joseph Jackson for $6,500, beginning at mouth of Dillon's Island Creek, along Toms River 65 chains, refers to Ezekiel's Creek; one thousand acres; also one-third of a swamp; refers to house where one Stout lives, formerly James Mott's. In Massachusetts there was and is a Jackson family of considerable prominence. The history and genealogy of the family which has been published and the name Francis occurs in this family in almost every generation. On Long Island a Jackson family, of which Robert Jackson of South old, 1643, was the founder, has been quite noted. A sketch of this family is given in Thompson's History of Long Island, vol. 2, p. 37. William Jackson is named in Court records 1716 to 1718 and thereabouts. His eldest dau. is referred to in John Hulett's will 1736. In 1698 a Jackson came into court and chose George Curlies his guardian; his first name is not clearly written in court records, but it was probably Hugh, and the date being the same year that Francis Jackson d., leads to the inference that he was the eldest son of the last named. In 1719 Hugh Jackson bought land from Nicholas Brown, of Burlington county, "his loving brother-in-law," land in Monmouth, then occupied by said Jackson. Brown had formerly lived in Monmouth. He is also called brother-in-law by Nicholas Potter in a deed 1729. Another Hugh Jackson of a succeeding generation, and w. Mary, had children: Hugh, b. March 25, 1754, d. Feb. 12, 1834; William, Peter, Isaac, Joseph, Mary and Mercy. This line has been preserved.
