Children of Benjamin Jackson II & Patience Prescott

In the The Prescott Memorial, published 1870, pg. 340, they list Benjamin Jackson m. Patience Prescott with three children, Olive, Joseph, and Betsy.

We know they had more for the following reasons:

1850 census, Waldo, Waldo County, Maine. Family #117, Benj Jackson, 83, born NH and Patience 68, born NH. They are living next door to Benj Jackson Jr., 31, born Maine and his family. Benjamin Jr. was not listed in the book.

In the 1860 census, Brooks, Waldo County, Maine, family #451, we find Patience Jackson, age 77, born Maine, living in the home of her daughter Harriet (Jackson) Roberts. (I believe Patience was born in New Hampshire as her father Nathan Prescott was still living in Epping, NH in 1790.)

From these two census records we add Benjamin Jr. and Harriet Jackson to the list of children. We also see that Benjamin Jr.'s father moved from NH to ME.

Another child for Benjamin & Patience (Prescott) Jackson was Jotham Jackson. Jotham married three times. His first marriage to Mrs. Lydia Marshall lists no parents or place of birth. In Jotham's second marriage to Marie Augusta Lambert we see the names of his parents listed as Benjamin and "Elizabeth" Jackson, with his birth place as Monmouth, Maine. In Jotham's third marriage to Arabella Lamont, his parents are listed as Benjamin and Patience (mn) Prescott. (also see Connecting Oliver & Benjamin Jackson)

Oliver Jackson: Please refer to "Connecting Oliver and Benjamin Jackson"

Finally we have Aaron Jackson. DNA points to him being the son of Benjamin & Patience. Y-dna tests connect descendants of Aaron Jackson to Nathan Jackson (3rd grandson of Benjamin and Patience (Prescott) Jackson. Maynard Jackson (second great grandson of Aaron) and Keith Jackson (3rd great grandson of Aaron) FamilyTreeDNA shows an EXACT match at the Y-DNA 37 marker.
