My fifth great grandfather David Jackson, born in 1730, apparently came to Pennsylvania, USA in 1762, from Limavady, Londonderry. Can anyone tell me where that is, and how would I go about finding out if I have living relatives today there? His father was Joseph Jackson, b. 1690, and his mother was Elizabeth Vance,b. 1707. of Antrim. David came to Pennsylvania with his wife Elizabeth Reed and their four children. thanks to some other researchers, I have a fair amount of Jackson genealogy I'd be willing to share. Helen
