Marshall Jackson in Ireland
« on: Saturday 05 November 05 09:12 GMT (UK) »
This is a long shot I know, but I'm looking for relatives to my ancestor Marshall Jackson - we believe from the Carlow / Wexford region.  He sailed to Canada in 1820 on the ‘The Commerce‘, landing December 20th. It is believed he travelled with Launcelot, Thomas and James Jackson. The father of these three Jackson boys was John Jackson, who served in the Crown Forces in the last battle stand of the rebels at Enniscorthy, County Wexford, at the Battle of Vinegar Hill and was killed on 21 July 1798.

Not sure how to even begin, but if someone has any interest in this Marshall Jackson, I'd dearly love to hear from you.

There were Jacksons by the name of James, Launcelot and Thomas who settled in the County of Lanark, Ontario Canada in the early 1800's. I believe they owned and farmed land in the township of Lanark. You could trace them through the Lanark County Archives. I don't have the address but the site should be available through Google.
