Dear Sir: —
I am trying to locate the heirs of
Benjamin Jackson (or Benjamin C.
Jackson), horn about 1807, and his
wife Rebecca Chamberlain Jackson,
nee Burschell, on account of somo
property to which they are entitled.
' It is known thut they resided la
Georgia in 1840 as one of their chil
dren, Florence Jackson was born In
your state on December 7, 1840, and
shortly afferwn'ids the family left
your State and came to New York
City.
This man stated his business in
1841 w«uh that of a "Proprietor” and
Do doubt he was possessed of lands
Sffljv property jn your State and that
the family was probably somewhat
prominent, and the records might dis
close tht fset that he owned land In
your county.
’“"Die last surviving member of tho
family has recently died, leaving prop
erty and the heirs are unknown.
I have advertised the matter in the
papers of the latge cities of your
State without any result.
It Is very Important for their ben
efit that the heirs should he located,
as they are entitled to property of
considerable value, and it occurred to
me that If the matter could be given
publicity through the local papers In
your county that the matter would
he brought Co the attention of the
heirs.
Assuring you in advance, of my ap-
atlon for any interest you may
the matter, I am,
Ycurk very truly,
