I am seeking my great-great-great-great-grandfather whose name is William James Diaper (aka John Jackson the infamous beachcomber of the South Pacific), born 11/11/1820 in Ardleigh Essex. His father's name is Jonathan Diaper married to Sarah Diaper. The picture of the grave site names Jonathan Diaper so I am hoping they are the same person I seek. One of my project goals is to seek confirmation hopefully through DNA to confirm or deny that we are missing descendants from Samoa. A letter was found from my late Uncle that has a family tree with John Jackson as being married or had a romantic affair... with my great (etc) grandmother in Samoa. For several generations this knowledge has circulated in a village in Samoa. There is also knowledge of fair-skinned children, blue/green eyes and red hair, with english first names e.g., Charles, Edwin, Fred and Nora that seem to run through my ancestry line but noone seems to know why. These names and personal appearance features are not traditional Samoan features. The only historic record we have found to date is of a John Jackson (William Diaper) that travelled to Samoa. The timeline fits with his date of birth and arrival into Samoa. So, if I can find further information and it is accurate, then I would like to pursue it. If not, then I can put this matter to rest. I hope you can understand my genuine plight. Kind regards Betty Grantps my quest is also confirmed at ancestry.com
