2019 January JACKSONs of Roe Valley

Bob Forrest email January 19, 2019

Despite all the research you and I have conducted into Jacksons there has been no proven link to Limavady.

 The JACKSONs of Newtownlimavady are of interest when it comes to verifying the ancestry of President Andrew JACKSON. Bob Forrest kindly transcribed all the JACKSONs he could find of the Roe Valley. So far, we can find no link to President Andrew JACKSON. This does not mean that there may not be one, but so far it is elusive.

Below are all the Jacksons in the Roe valley I have extracted -- please feel free to use if you wish!
