Primary Source Confirmation of United Empire Loyalist Lineal Descent: The Jackson–McFadden–Carter Chain and the 1851 Canada West Census Discovery

This preprint documents the complete primary source confirmation of a thirteen-generation lineal descent chain from Hendrick (Henry) Jackson, a confirmed United Empire Loyalist (UEL Claim #1205, Loyal Rangers, Albany County, New York), to John Ernest Carter (b. 1982, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada). Version 3.0 incorporates seven major new discoveries made subsequent to v2.0 publication (May 13, 2026). The central findings of v1.0 and v2.0 remain confirmed: the Jacob Jackson household in the 1851 Canada West Census (Charlotteville Township, Norfolk County; microfilm 004108059, images 274 and 276), and the Archives of Ontario Revolutionary War Claims document (AO 12 Vol. 32 P. 66-68) stating explicitly: "Two grandsons of Henry Jackson — Jacob and Elijah — settled in Charlotteville Township, Norfolk County, Upper Canada." This closes the final evidentiary gap in the Jackson–McFadden–Carter chain at every generation link with primary source evidence.Version 3.0 extends the research in two major new directions. First, the maternal Rempel/Berg Mennonite line is now fully documented by primary source family genealogy document (compiled c.2001) providing exact birth, death, and marriage dates for six generations: Peter Rempel (b. 15 May 1806, d. 20 August 1908, lived 102 years) → Jacob S. Rempel (b. 2 Oct 1857) → Jacob G. Rempel (b. 29 May 1887) → Katherine Rempel (b. 6 Aug 1913) × John M. Berg (b. 22 Oct 1912, married 23 Jun 1932) → Kathy Annette Berg (b. 11 Jun 1954) × Daniel George Carter (married 21 April 1979). Wilhelm Rempel is confirmed as one of three elected founding leaders of the Bergthal Colony in 1836 — the first daughter colony of the Chortitza Mennonite settlement in Russia — via primary source: Schroeder, William, The Bergthal Colony (CMBC Publications, Winnipeg, 1974/1986). The Rempel family name is documented in the Danzig Flemish Mennonite congregation since 1673 and in the Tiegenhagen congregation since 1723 (GAMEO, 'Rempel family', 1959). The complete 1874 migration from Bergthal, Russia to Manitoba is confirmed by the Frank Harder diary (June 15 – August 3, 1874), recording the 10,000-mile journey across eleven trains and five ships, published in Schroeder pp. 46-51. Second, the paternal O'Driscoll/Driscoll Irish line is traced to Eiderscel (c. 942 AD), the named progenitor of the O'Driscoll surname confirmed by the O'Driscoll DNA Project and first documented in the Annals of Inisfallen (death of Conchobar Ua hEtersceóil, 1103 AD). The O'Driscoll/Corcu Loígde tribal lineage extends to the 1st century AD as Kings of Munster. The Ardagh townland, family place of origin of Daniel Driscoll I (b. c.1780), is precisely located by institutional primary source: email correspondence from Skibbereen Heritage Centre (Margaret, May 31, 2026): "The townland of Ardagh is situated near the village Union Hall and falls within the parish Myross, the second Roman Catholic church of Castlehaven. The earliest baptismal register dates from 1844. The register of marriages from the 1800s is lost." This closes the NLI register route definitively and confirms the family tradition of 'Ardagh, Castlehaven' as geographically accurate. Version 3.0 additionally confirms Sawatzky-Rempel intermarriage in two direct generations via handwritten family tree: Margaretha Sawatzky (b. 1833) × Johann S. Rempel (b. 1830), and Aganetha Sawatzky (b. 1883) × Jacob G. Rempel (b. 1887). Jemma Maxine Carter (b. 15 November 2012, Niagara Region, Ontario) is added as Generation 11. The complete confirmed chain is: Robert Jackson (immigrant) → Col. John Jackson → James Jackson Sr. → James Jackson Jr. × Margrietje Ostrander → Hendrick Jackson UEL × Sara Clute → Pieter Jackson × Hannah Shaver → Jacob Jackson × Eleanor McFadden (b. Armagh, Ireland) → Eleanor-Jane Jackson (Pick) → Ella Pick (Pratt) → Jenny Pratt (Copeman) → Agnes Copeman (Dominey) → Maxine Dominey (Carter) → Daniel George Carter × Katherine Annette Berg → John Ernest Carter → Jemma Maxine Carter.DNA admixture analysis (MyHeritage, Daniel George Carter, b. 1952) genomically validates all documented ancestral lines: Dutch 10.6% confirms Clute colonial Albany ancestry; Breton 10.6% and French 3.6% confirm Sissen French Revolutionary refugee origin; Irish 1.3% confirms Eleanor McFadden born Armagh; Germanic 4.0% confirms Berg Mennonite line. All signals map to documented lines with no unexplained admixture.Open research threads include: Rempel parents of Peter b.1806 (GRANDMA database); Clute intermediate generation bridging Johannes Clute Jr.'s children to Sara Clute b.1748; Driscoll/O'Driscoll gap 1664–1780 (Registry of Deeds, irishdeeds.ie); Sissen French Revolutionary origin (Archives nationales Paris); Carter London line beyond William Carter b.1807 Shoreditch; and Berg line pre-1730 Tiegenhagen Prussia. The research methodology applied throughout is the Presignal Subtraction Framework: systematic elimination of unconfirmed hypotheses through sequential primary source verification, with all evidence explicitly classified as Confirmed, Strong, or Probable. This is a living research document. Version updates will be issued as new primary sources are validated. Daniel George Carter's original research works were compiled across several personal documents. The attached files are digital scans of those physical originals, created to preserve and make accessible the primary source materials underlying this research
