Ziba Jackson is the son of Benjamin and Abigail Mitchel(l) Jackson. Benjamin is the brother of Daniel Jackson, my 5th great-grandfather and Elizabeth Jackson Tompkin, my husbands 5th and 6th great-grandmother.

Ziba’s birth is found in Rockaway Records of Morris County,  N.J. Families” by J. Percy Crayon. as 2 Feb 1777, in Rockaway, Morris Co., New Jersey.   On his son Issac’s death certificate says he was born in Pennsylvannia and that Phebe was born in New Jersey. On this death certificate it does say that his parents are Ziba and Phebe Lyon Jackson.

This gentleman also served in the War of 1812.

Ziba and Phebe are found in Morris Township, Knox Co. Ohio by the 1830 census.

I find them both on F.A.G. buried in Old Fredericktown Cemetery
Also known as: Harmony Churchyard, Maple Grove Cemetery in Fredericktown, Knox Co. Ohio.

We find a list of five children for this couple at F.A.G. , I can only verify one and that is the above Issac.

Their children are as follows:

Aaron Case Jackson (1800 – 1879)
Nathaniel Mitchell Jackson (1803 – 1891)
Abbey C. Jackson Talmage (1810 – 1845)
Chalon Jackson (1815 – 1906)
Isaac Lyon Jackson (1823 – 1914)

We find a marker for his Uncle Daniel also at Old Frederickstown Cemetery, his actual burial is at Yankee Street Presbyterian Cemetery ,Chesterville ,Morrow County ,Ohio, USA. We also find his cousin’s buried in Knox Co. Ohio as well. They would be my McCartney Grandparents.  Jamima Jackson McCartney wife of Samuel Craig McCartney being the above Daniel’s granddaughter. If your keeping track she is 1st cousin once removed to Ziba.

Happy Hunting!
