"Here too one must mention the pastor of the Irish in Montreal,
Rev. Richard Jackson, P, SS., who gave his life for his flock,
21st July 1847. Forty years earlier he came to Montreal a young
and zealous Episcopalian minister from Virginia with a special
'call' to save the Sulpician Fathers from the road to perdition!
His mission failed. As a convert he joined the community of St.
Sulpice, whose history and work he had long admired." SOURCE:
His birth date is my estimate. He died - I think of cholera - but I am curious which line of JACKSONs in Virginia he may have belonged to. He was a priest at St. Sulpice in Quebec, Canada.
