Individual Details
Joel JACKSON
(1756 - 1795)
Joel married his second cousin Elizabeth, daughter of Francis of "Flat Creek"; this Francis was a son of William, grandson of Ralph & Leah Jackson. They married 28 Nov 1787.
His wife had apparently died prior to February of 1795. This will indicated no wife or children for Joel. It cannot be his uncle Joel - because his father Francis, brother of the uncle Joel was already deceased before this will was written and proved.
