Jackson Plantation, Franklin County, Maine Genealogy

United States Maine  Franklin  Jackson Plantation

Jackson was for three periods a sprawling plantation, now extinct and split into:


 * T4 R3 BKP WKR Wyman Township
 * T1 R3 WBKP Coplin Plantation
 * T2 R3 WBKP Lang Township, and
 * T1 R4 WBKP Eustis (also known as Number 1 R4 Plantation).

1. Jackson Plantation was first organized from Township 4 R3 BKP (Wyman), Township 1 R3 WBKP (Coplin), Township 2 R3 WBKP (Lang), and Plantation 1 R4 WBKP (Eustis) in 1845; and lost that organization by 1855 when Jackson Plantation was reconstituted.

2. Jackson Plantation had a major reorganization in 1857 involving its southern areas of the future Wyman, Coplin, and Lang. But to the north Eustis seceded and was no longer part of Jackson Plantation.

3. Jackson Plantation had a third major reorganization in 1866 when Coplin Plantation was created from the center of the plantation. This left the remainder of Jackson Plantation in two pieces which eventually became Lang and Wyman. The name Jackson Plantation continued in use until the creation of the Lang Plantation in 1895 when the Jackson Plantation name went extinct. It is unclear if Wyman Township was considered part of Jackson Plantation from 1866 to 1895.
