For a full genealogy of the families of Deacon John Jackson and his brother Edward, see Jackson's Hist. of Newton, pp. 326-353. ‘It is a remarkable fact,’ says the historian, ‘in relation to these two brothers, John and Edward Jackson, that while Edward had but three sons and John five, there are multitudes of Edward's posterity, who bear his name, and only five of John's. Forty-four of Edward's descendants were in the Revolutionary Army, from Newton, and not one of John's. Now (1854) there are but three families in town of Edward's descendants, that bear his name.’ (Pages 332, 333.) 1 insert here a single family of the older branch:
