1.  Aaron Jackson II (son of Aaron Jackson and Marie Dorothee Jackson) married Christie Annie Emery. Her sister is Louise Emery (wife of William Hafford).  William Hafford's half 2nd cousin is Estella May Beals.  Estella Beals (1857-1939) married John Frank Seekins whose aunt is Eliza (Jackson) Seekins (wife of Isaac B. Seekins) and daughter of Oliver M. Jackson and Hannah Lambert.

2.  "Oren" Jackson was part of The Aroostook War under Captain James Huxford's Company.  "Nearly all of the members of Captain Huxford's Company were residents of Brooks"* (Waldo County, Maine) .   This would put Aaron/Oren in Fort Kent at the correct timeframe. Aaron/Oren's sister Harriet Jackson Roberts is buried in Brooks, Waldo, Maine, same town as "Oren" Jackson was said to be from.

3. In the 1850 census, Hancock Plantation (now Fort Kent), Aroostook, Maine ("Aren" in dwelling #54).        Dwelling #43 is William H. Webb.        He's married to Martha Farwell.  Her sister is Ann Farwell.  Ann Farwell is married to Consider A. Knowles.  Consider A. Knowles is the uncle of John Franklin Knowles. Frankllin Knowles is the husband of Lenora Avilda Roberts who is the daughter of Harriet (Jackson) Roberts, daughter of Benjamin Jackson and Patience Prescott. Also, William H. Webb is the son of Amos Webb.  I figured that out because William's brother Nelson is living with them in that 1850 census.  Amos Webb was living in Unity, Waldo County, Maine.

​

In the same census, In dwelling #45 we see Samuel Stevens. He is the husband of Cynthia (Moody).  Her sister Clara "Clarissa" (Moody) Gates is living in the home of a Deborah Gulliver in 1870 census for Old Town, Penobscot, Maine.  This Deborah Gulliver is the 1st cousin of Relief (Gulliver) Farwell who is the mother of Martha Farwell.  

(In short, William Webb, living eleven doors away from Aaron Jackson, and Samuel Stevens, living nine doors away are related by marriage to the granddaughter (Lenora Roberts) of Benjamin Jackson and Patience Prescott.)

4. Josiah D. Jackson (1st cousin to our Aaron, Benjamin, and Oliver Jackson) married  Cynthia Oakes* (d/o Jonathan Oakes & Rachel Carsley).  Cynthia Oakes is the half 1st cousin once removed of Alexis Electrius Oakes, husband of Marie Henriette Lavigne. 

This connects this Jackson line to the Oakes line of Aroostook County and New Brunswick, Canada.  Cynthia Oakes' father Jonathan Oakes died in Presque Isle.
