| Notes |
- BIRTH: No birth rec found; early Portsmouth recs are lost. See deed, Thomas Jackson and wife Hannah of Portsmouth to their son Ephraim Jackson, 1 Oct 1709 (New Hampshire Province Deeds, 8:293 [FHL #015412]). Date and place of birth are approximations.
MAR #1: No mar rec found. Ephraim's wife Mary signed a deed to John Lang, 4 Dec 1712 (New Hampshire Province Deeds, 8:295 [FHL #015412]).
MAR #2: No mar rec found. Estate recs of Joseph Smith of Hampton imply that Smith's widow Elizabeth was the wife of Ephraim Jackson of Portsmouth on 7 Oct 1720, when they were cited to appear to answer to a complaint of Samuel Page (PROBATE RECORDS OF THE PROVINCE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, 9 vols., repr of New Hampshire State Papers Series, vols. 31-39 [Bowie, MD, 1989-90], 1:694-96 [FHL #974.2 P2p]). Joseph Smith of Hampton was said to have married as his 3rd wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Marshall, 16 February 1709. After the death of Joseph Smith she married Ephraim Jackson, 5 July 1720 (Joseph Dow, HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF HAMPTON, 2 vols. [Salem, MA, 1893], 2:979-80 [FHL #974.26/H3 H2d]). Neither mar is found in surviving Hampton vital records. Dow believed Elizabeth was a widow, apparently beacause she was called "Mrs." However, this is questioned in Sybil Noyes, Charles Thornton Libby, and Walter Goodwin Davis, GENEALOGICAL DICTIONARY OF MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE (Portland, ME, 1928-39; repr Baltimore, 1983), 372 (FHL #974 D2n).
MAR #3: No mar rec found. A wife Dorothy is mentioned in Ephraim's will, below. She was apparently the Dorothy Cogswell who married John Moulton of Portsmouth. John and Dorothy Moulton of Portsmouth were among the heirs of William Cogswell of Ipswich, deceased, when they deeded property in Gloucester to Joseph Allen, 15 Nov 1717 (Essex Co. Deeds, 39:43 [FHL #866031]). John and Dorothy Moulton had a dau Dorothy baptized at Portsmouth, 9 Mar 1717/8 ("Records of the South Church of Portsmouth, N.H.," NEHGR, 81[1927]:431 [FHL #974 B2ne]). This dau married John Whipple at Ipswich, 18 Aug 1737 (VITAL RECORDS OF IPSWICH, 3 vols. [Salem, MA, 1910-19], 2:314 [FHL #974.45/I2 V2e]). John Moulton of Portsmouth was dead by 20 Sep 1725 when his widow Dorothy administered his estate (PROBATE RECORDS OF THE PROVINCE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, 2:258). Ephraim Jackson died in 1748. The will of widow Dorothy Jackson, 19 Oct 1758, proved 31 Jan 1759, bequeaths to all the children of Ephraim Jackson and to her own dau Dorothy Whipple, apparently the dau of John and Dorothy (Cogswell) Moulton, mentioned above (Ibid, 6:331-32). Hence, Dorothy Cogswell married (1) John Moulton, and (2) Ephraim Jackson as his 3rd wife.
DEATH: No death rec found. See the will of Ephraim Jackson of Portsmouth, 21 Sep 1748, proved 30 Nov 1748, inv 16 Feb 1748/9 (PROBATE RECORDS OF THE PROVINCE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, 3:598-99).
