11 Sep 2016	Mary Conklin	Hi, I am Mary Conklin, nee Jack, and have been actively been trying to sort out my Jack line. In trying to break down my Jack brick wall I have done Y DNA testing on a number of Jack men. The notes on this web page says that Sarah Holiday married James Jack from Chester Co. PA. I cannot prove or disprove this. However, Patrick and James Jack, brothers, per the history books ended up in Chester Co. PA. YDNA is passed from father to son, father to son, so if James and Patrick were brothers their descendants YDNA should be the same with perhaps some minor mutations. I have tested John V. Jack of Texas who's line of Jacks can be easily traced from Patrick Jack. I also tested a man named Foster Jack who is descended from some of the Warren Co. Jacks and met another man, Keith Jacks ('s' was added later he says) who tested and is also related to Warren Co. Jacks. They match each other but do NOT match John V Jack who descended from Patrick Jack, they are separate lines. This means that the James Jack who married Sarah Holiday is not descended from the James Jack who was Patrick's brother. As more people test and join the Jacks Surname project on FamilytreeDNA we will learn more as to the Jack lines. In the early days names were used over and over and in the Jack lines both James and William are extremely common and make it difficult to sort out who belongs to who. I don't know if this info can somehow be used on the website but I thought I'd pass it on.

22 Jun 2011	Pam Vazquez	I just found your site with headstone pics of Sarah Holliday Jack and children. That was nice to see. I'm researching Sarah's parents Samuel Holliday and his offspring. Sarah Holliday would have been born 1748 in Pikeland Twp, Chester County, PA. Her father Samuel first appeared on the tax list there in Pikeland Twp, in 1747. By 1762 he bought property in Uwchlan Twp and worked as a blacksmith. He sold that property in 1775 and then lived in West Caln Twp. I'm trying very hard to find who Sarah's mother was but the nearest I can find is that her name must have been Jane and that she would have died probably sometime before 1775. Samuel Holliday married his 2nd wife Susannah around that time. Samuel Holliday had 11 children and I don't have the birth dates of all of them so I can't tell if Sarah was the oldest. Her birth year is the oldest of those I've found. Samuel mentions his daughter Sarah Jack in his will written 1792 written in Elizabeth Twp, Allegheny Co. PA
26 May 2011	Andrew W. Jack	Samuel Silas Jack was my Great Great Great Grandfather and a Pioneer that spent his life in the Lebanon/warren county area. He was a war of 1812 veteran. He Married Rebecca Paxton, the youngest child of Colonel Thomas Paxton, one of George Washington's officers and the founder of Loveland Ohio. Samuel Silas is buried in the Church Graveyard across from the old Rock School house as are my Great Great Grandfather George Harrison Jack. My family line moves to Xenia when my Great Grandfather William T Jack moved there. My father and I actually went to the land of the Big Tree Plantation before it was the Bige tree plantation and put the tombstome back into position with cement. The original stone home has recently burned down and I aquired the date stone of the home at that time. My late father was full of family history, which I now seem to be the holder of.
3 Dec 2007	Michael Sellers	I don't know if the limited info I have concerning the Jacks named on the cemetery monument is helpful at all but figured the little bit couldn't hurt. "Sarah Jack" was born Sarah HOLIDAY in 1748 in Pennsylvania. She was the wife of James Jack, who was born March 17, 1726, in Chester county, PA. At some point they had relocated to Lexington, Woodford county, KY, where James Jack died prior to 1801. I believe Sarah came to Warren county, OH, in the very early 1800s with sons John Thomas Jack, James Jack, and Samuel Jack. There were also three other sons born to Sarah that I'm slightly aware of; Robert Little Jack, Adam Jack, and Joseph Jack. Whether they came to Warren county as well is unknown to me. John Thomas Jack married Elizabeth Todd Smith on January 10, 1801, in Versailles Township, Fayette county, Kentucky, prior to removing to Warren county, OH, fairly soon after. I'm guessing that when boys John Thomas, James, and Samuel relocated to Warren county they brought their mother, Sarah (Holiday) Jack, with them. It is thus Sarah and her son, James Jack, along with James' wife, Nancy (Smith) Jack, that are mentioned on the monument in the Jack Cemetery. Not sure what happened with Samuel after the move to Warren county. John Thomas Jack remained in Warren county until 1828 when he moved with his own son, James H. Jack, to Indiana. Apparently, John Thomas did not like the area in Montgomery or Fountain county, Indiana, and thus moved to Tippecanoe county, Indiana, where he got a land grant. Born July 4, 1777, John Thomas Jack remained in Randolph Township in Tippecanoe county, Indiana, until his death on August 19, 1835. The family of James and Sarah Jack were pretty thick, so to speak, in Warren county, OH, after the move from KY. I wouldn't be surprised at all if additional Jacks were buried in the Jack Cemetery...
