In 1748, Ralph Jackson deeded 200 acres to his son Francis, land in Amelia Co. His wife is believed to be Mary Stewart, but I think this is doubtful - I've seen no proof.

His will was dated 9 Oct 1792 and probated 29 Dec 1792. He referred to himself as Francis Jackson Senr and named children: sons - Burwell, Joel, John, and Francis, and son Leigh Wilkerson, and a daughter Polly Vaughn. He willed his house for 5 years to Sarah Hamblin who was living with him, after which the house would return to his sons.
[This abstract is incomplete - he also mentioned daughter Elizabeth, son Stewart, and Kitty Hamblin. A good example as to why one should go to the source.]
