Notes for JOHN JACKSON:
John Jackson was born 1753 in PA an died 10 Aug 1810 in Clinton Co., OH. After their marriage, John and Phoebe Beales Jackson moved to Surry Co., NC. He had received a NC land grant on Chinquepin Creek which was located near Tom's Creek and the newly formed Quaker Meeting House at Westfield. When Stokes Co. was formed, this land was just over the line in the newly formed Stokes Co. There are several deeds for John Jackson at Dobson, NC, county seat of Surry Co., NC, where he bought and sold land and was a witness to many deeds and wills.

They became members of the Westfield Quaker Meeting 3 Mar 1792, where they were members for several years. This was a few years before he moved to Greene Co., TN. It is recorded in the MM records that John Jackson was disowned from the Meeting for "going to law with a member of our society, also for not complying with his contracts, and for a breach of trust in that of taking a travelers horse in order to take care of him and trading the horse away without the leave of the said traveler, and when he (the traveler) returned have him no true information nor made him any satisfaction for said horse.' John is not mentioned again in any Quaker records after his disownment except as the father of his children or as Phoebe's husband.

John and his family left Westfield, NC in 1799 and moved to Green Co., TN. Nine of their eleven children were born in NC and two children were born after the move to Green Co., TN.

"History of Clinton County, Wayne Township" By James H. Terrell
John Jackson came to Ohio in the year 1802, directly from TN. After his marriage, he had lived for some time in Surry Co, NC and afterward for some years in East Tennessee, Jefferson Co, not far from Knoxville. He came to the point of his location in the spring of 1803, with his wife Phoebe and ten children. They settled on the Middle Branch of Lose Creek, on one of the Ransdale's surveys, No, 1,027, about one mile a little north of west from where the counties of Highland and Fayette have a corner in the east line of Clinton OH.
His cabin stood west of where the Urbana road is now located, upon a high piece of rolling land covered with a heavy growth of large oak trees, and near a large spring, about two hundred and fifty yards nearly southwest of the present well-known residence of James Morris. His cabin disappeared long ago, but the indications of the ground plainly show the place where they at one time stood.
They were built in the wild green woods, remote from any road or path except the one which he opened for himself and family in coming to their location. with no human habitation near, if a deserted indian wigwam on the creek, half a mile away is not regarded as an exception.
The barn said to have been built by him was, until lately, and perhaps still is, in use for the purpose for which it was erected. The fields which he cleared and brought Into cultivation are now, with the exception of a few acres, cleared on the Daily farm, all merged in the home farm of Mr. James Morris.
This favored spot was, at this date, in the midst of a solitary wilderness of great extent, peopled by Indians and abounding in wild deer, bears and wolves.
At the date of Mr. Jackson's settlement, the whole number of families within the boundaries of what is now Clinton Co did not exceed ten, the true count being, it is believed, only eight, or at most nine. In our count, Isaac Miller and Joseph McKibben are excluded, though residing within the limits referred to as early as 1802, neither having a family at the time.
Mr. Jackson's nearest neighbor on the north of Clinton Co side of the line, which now divides the counties of Highland and Fayette from Clinton, was, not a doubt of it, Morgan van Meter, at the site of what was afterward Morgantown, now deserted, seven miles away.
Three miles below van Meter, on the east fork of the Little Maimi, near where Farmer's Station, on the Marietta Railroad, now is. Joseph McKibben and Isaac Miller, young men and single were keeping "bach" in a cabin, ten miles from Jackson's improvement. At about the same distance, in a course a little west of North, on the Hinkson Prairie. in what is now Wilson Township. Amos Wilson and James Mills lived in the same dooryard, yet each In his own dwelling. On the other or south side of the same line, a few settlers, not more than half a dozen in all, had settled here and there, with wide intervals between them, in the fall of 1802.
These settlers were Bowater Beals, James Haworth, John Walters, and Nathaniel Pope, and the next year, Evan Evans and James Smith, the nearest of whom to Mr. Jackson was at least three miles distant. James Haworth, a native of PA, was a brother of George Haworth, who settled on Todd's Fork, near where the Meeting house is in 1803.
Mr. Jackson seems to have been a man of industry and economy. At the time of his death, he was, for that day, quite well supplied with domestic animals, the tools and implements for farming, household and kitchen furniture and the machinery for carding, spinning, weaving, etc. The inventory of his personal estate, as estimated by Absalom Reed, Joseph Grice and Thomas Draper, the appraisers, amounted to $423.
He made his will Aug. 2, 1810, during his last sickness. It was drawn by his brother Jacob, and was attested by Jacob Jackson and Enon Williams, father in-law of the late Robert Wray. The execution of it was committed to his wife Phoebe and to Curtis Beals, whom he called "my nephew". It was probated Oct. 16, 1810, being the first will admitted to probate in Clinton Co, OH.
Mr. Jackson had a large family; six daughters and four sons lived to mature age and were married. His family was not well suited for the rugged work of opening a farm in the wild woods. They eventually moved to what is now Wayne Township, Clinton Co., OH. At the date of their settlement the total number of families within the boundaries of what is now Clinton Co., did not exceed ten. John Jackson was known as a 'squatter" from 1803 until he bought his land in 1809, He died one year after buying his land. Both he and Phoebe are buried in the old graveyard in the Hoskins neighborhood near a Friends Meeting House (now gone). The cabin he built for his family stood on a high piece of rolling land covered with a heavy growth of large oak trees. It was near a large spring. This cabin disappeared long ago, but the indications of the ground plainly show the place where they once lived. They built in the wild green woods, remote from any road or path except the one which he opened for himself and family in coming to their location, with no human habitation near, other than a deserted Indian wigwam on the creek, a half mile from their cabin. Once, Phoebe was followed in the woods by a panther, which threatened to attack her. She climbed a tree and had to remain there until the panther left. At the time of his death, John Jackson was very well supplied with domestic animals, tools and implements for farming, household and kitchen furniture and machinery for carding,spinning, weaving, etc. The inventory of his personal estate amounted to $423.

Stephen Jackson, jsteve@ucar.edu writes the following in an email to me:

On your web page you show that Curtis Jackson's sister Susannah Jackson
married Daniel Beales, and that couple had 11 children. In the LDS
database I found records of 12 children:

Daniel Beales & Susannah Jackson
children:
(a) John Bales Aug. 24, 1780
(b) Daniel Bales 1784
(c) Catharine Bales 1787
(d) Sarah Beals May 5, 1778
(e) Phebe Beals Apr. 11 1786
(f) Ann Beals Dec. 1, 1787
(g) Susannah Beals Dec 12, 1796
(h) Katherine Beals Feb. 28, 1790
(i) Rachel Beales Apr. 24, 1794
(j) Curtis Beales Apr. 29, 1779
(k) Bowater Beales Jun. 17, 1781
(l) Jacob Beales Jul. 5, 1783
(m) Elizabeth Beales Jul. 27, 1785

Most of those children were listed as being born in the New Garden Friends
Membership. This list includes all the children you list plus Daniel Bales,
who you do not have. I believe that Catharine/Katherine are the same.

Notes for DANIEL BEALES:
Daniel Beales was born 15 Feb 1753 in Rowan Co., NC (currently Guilford Co.) and died after 1834 in White River Township, Randolph Co., IN. There is no record of Daniel purchasing land in Surry Co.,NC, however there is a deed recorded in Stokes Co. NC, page 1, Vol. 1, dated 11 Jul 1744, which was a Grant No 1967 to Andon Hartness for 310 acres on the waters of Muddy Creek, and states that it was a part of a 500 acre grant to Daniel Beales. The land was located on the Moravian Road and joined the land of John S,. Walton (This land would be in southwest Stokes Co., where the Muddy Creek runs into the little Yadkin River, and would be only a few miles southeast of Westfield, NC.

After their long stay in Stokes Co., NC, Daniel and Susannah moved with their children to Ohio in 1799, settling in Clinton and Highland Counties and from then on they moved every year. The Beales family history records that they were living on Salt Creek near Adelphus, OH in 1801 and they moved to Lee's Creek in Highland Co., OH in the fall of 1802. In 1803 they were in Mt. Pleasant MM, in VA and in 1804 they were at the Miami MM in OH. They were back in Mt Pleasants, VA in 1808 and from there they went to Fairfield MM in 1809.

In Nov 1812, Daniel was dismissed from Fairfield MM for disunity. Susannah was a charter member of Clark Creek MM in Highland Co., OH on 24 Dec 18121. She was a charter member of Newberry MM in Clinton Co., OH on 2 Dec 1816. She was received at Cherry Grove MM, Randolph CO., IN on 12 Oct 1826 and she was received at White River MM in Jan of 1834. Daniel had requested membership at Cherry Grove MM but was denied.

After the death of their daughter, Sarah, wife of Jesse Hiatt, they took her three weeks old son, Eli Hiatt into their home and raised him. They also raised Matilda Beales, a niece or daughter of Jacob and Beulah Hiatt Beales.
