• Notes

  From Lloyd Jackson's Notes: "An article on the history of the forbears of Theodore Frelinghuysen Jackson of Brooklyn, NY, appears at p. 78-79 Vol V American Ancestry 1890. He was a great grandson of Joseph Jackson.....He was born at Rockaway, NJ, Nov 16, 1830, lawyer, comptroller of City of Brooklyn 1890 - son of William of Brooklyn, born at Rockaway, NJ, Mar 16, 1788, died at Brooklyn Oct 18, 1872, iron manufacturer in Morris Co., NJ, son of Stephen of Rockaway, NJ, born there Sep 8, 1774, died there March 28, 1812, iron manufacturer, member of revolutionary committee in Morris County, commanded a company of horse in 1779-80 while the Army under Gen. Washington was encamped in Morristown. Son of Joseph of Rockaway, NJ, born at Flushing LI, Feb 9, 1710, died at Rockaway 1769, son of James (married Mary Rogers) of Flushing, born at Hempstead, died at Flushing 1735. Was voted a silver tankard etc.... "After retiring from the active practice of law, the remaining years of his life were those of comparative leisure. He built for himself a beautiful country house at Westhampton Beach, where he spent his summers, maintaining however, a resudence in the City of New York. He was exceedingly fond of travel, and visited all of the places of interest in this country, both in the South and West and upon the Pacific Coast. . . He was a member of the Empire State Society of Sons of the American Revolution, of the National Geographical Society, and of the New york Genealogical and Biographical Society, in whose affairs he took a deep interest." For a picture of his beautiful home: 'Fairlawn', the Theodore Frelinghuysen Jackson residence built c. 1902 in Westhampton Beach, see: http://www.oldlongisland.com/search?q=Jackson. 1870 Census Brooklyn Ward 19, Kings Co, NY Jackson, Theodore 38 M W Lawyer 25000 4100 New Jersey Jackson, Cornelia 30 F W keeping house New York Jackson, Frederick 5 M W New York Morgan, Sarah 25 F W domestic Ireland illegible 16 F W domestic New Jersey 1880 Census District 187, Kings (Brooklyn) Greater NYC, NY NJ NY Jackson, Theodore F.

W F 30 servant S servant Ireland IRE IRE Note from Dr. Anthony Troha: I have an observation to make regarding Theodore Frelinghuysen Jackson-1723 that should be included in a note lest anyone think that possessing the middle name "Frelinghuysen" may indicate a lineage with that family. He was in fact named after Theodore Frelinghuysen (1787-1862), a very popular New Jersey politician, after whom numerous individuals born in the area during the 1830's and 1840's were named. Although it might seem unusual from our jaded Twenty-First-Century point-of-view, people in the 1800's held some of their statesmen in the highest regard, and even thought that these politicians were the epitome of a great citizen, so they would name their sons after these men in hopes that their children would aspire to greatness."
