Subject: Robinson, Claybrook, Jackson, Gaines,Richardson,
I would like to know if anyone is researching any of these families? Of particular interest to me are the CLAYBROOKS and ROBINSON'S...
I hope this "Will" might help someone else.....Cain Jackson was the son or Joseph Jackson and Martha....last name is unknown to me.......
It is said but I have no proof that Cain's wife Elizabeth was a CLAYBROOK daugher of OBEDIAH CLAYBROOK and SARAH ROBINSON even though I personally have not seen the court documents to support this I believe it to be true and if anyone has please let me know.
