Retired FBI agent, Albert Geddes Macdonald, wrote a document Jackson genealogy. I don’t remember when I obtained a copy or who shared it with me. Years ago I typed each section as a separate file. In March 2008 I discovered all of the files when I was reviewing some unlabeled floppy discs. I combined all of the files into what I thought was the best order, added section headings and made a few corrections of typos and spelling errors.
I assume Mr. Macdonald was living in Florida at the time he wrote the piece. From one sentence in the piece we can deduct that it was written sometime after he moved to Florida in 1966.
Here’s the bibliography item for the document that I wrote and placed on my website years ago.

Henthorn's personal possession.
The genealogy, comments and recollections are of interest to anyone working on the genealogy of the Jackson, Henthorn or Thompson families.
Note Mr. Macdonald states that the Jacksons came from Ireland. Anyone working on Henthorn genealogy should consider whether this is where the idea that James and John Henthorn came from Ireland might have originated.
