Allen line: The family of John Jackson-highly speculative and perhaps incorrect

This guy is a mystery and he may not be ours.  I've found little documentation about him.  He was likely born about 1710 based on the dates of his supposed children, possibly in England.  He may be the John Jackson who died in 1761 in Prince Georges County, Maryland.  He may have been married to Ruth Beall, and then to a second Ruth, who may also have been a Beall.  Or there could have been two John Jacksons, each married to a Ruth Beall.  It's confusing. The older Ruth Beall wouldn't be the mother of the children I'll mention, because she was born in 1686 and the children were born from 1732 to 1747.   I'm writing this post hoping that someone has this figured out, but if not, then the next person who works on this guy will be alerted to the difficulties I've found.

The list of his children seems to have been taken primarily from a will, but whether this is the will of our John Jackson or not I cannot say.  These names are Alexis, Samuel, Richard, William, Thomas, Henry, Edmund, and Jacob.  These names need to be studied further.  It does appear that all were born in Prince Georges County, and that at least Alexis, Samuel, and Richard followed a logical migration path to Greene or Beaver County, Pennsylvania.  Henry, our Allen ancestor, moved on to Guernsey County, Ohio.  I will follow him in my next blog post.   

Please let me know if you have any information about any of these people.  Let's give Henry the benefit of knowing who his parents are!
