Family has been looking for John’s father over 70 years. Recently family trees on several sites show William Jackson, 1760 - 1808 and Barsheba Levica Meador, 1760 - 1808 as John’s parents.
I would love verification or opinion as to the correctness of this linage before I announce to my family that the mystery is solved.
The biography for Ed Jackson is empty. What can you add?

I would suggest starting with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration. Don't be afraid to ask questions in our G2G forum and get involved as much or as little as works for you. Be sure to check out the tabs at the very top right hand side of your profile, there is lots to discover!
I am here to answer any question you have, no matter how trivial you may think it is. There is no such thing as a silly question. Please add as much information as you can, it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do!
Happy tree climbing

I need an expert to find verification of this linage or at least an expert opinion. If you can help or direct me I would appreciate. Of course, being a poor boy, I need a cost estimate in advance. Thanks, Ed Jackso
You could post in our G2G forum seeking an expert, as there are some members who hold a professional qualification, or you could ask for others to help clarify. Before doing that, I would start on WikiTree by documenting with sources what you do know, since it is always better to have a clear starting point. The fact that you have taken a DNA test should facilitate the process, since your test will be displayed on the profiles of ancestors and their descendants for others to compare with.
To access the G2G, click ‘Help’ in the top right corner and select ‘Forum (g2g)’ in the drop down. When you post, select the category ‘Genealogy Help’ and tag with the surname ‘Jackson’, or better yet the profile ID for John Jackson whose parents you are looking for.
Let me know if you have further questions
