A Hamlet Jacks m. Amelia WOODRUFF of Westfield NJ. Amelia's sister Mary married Pulaski JACKS. Another sister Abigail married Finley JACKS. 1850 census shows Pulaski and family and possibly sisters-in law living in Essex Co. NJ
Hamlet Jacks and a brother William were silversmiths in San Francisco c. 1850 in a firm named Jacks and Woodruff. Pulaski, identified as a jeweller in the 1850 census, was also in San Francisco in the 1850's.
Does anyone have a complete list of Samuel's children? Were Pulaski and Finley brothers of Hamlet?
