Another entry with one of those little surprises -- a probate file in Jefferson Co., OH (Steubenville area) with a connection to Ireland and to Havana, Cuba.

An additional abstract of the will above can be found here - and as with abstracts there are small details that differ between versions. The second version mentions that the brother, John Jackson, is a resident of Jefferson Co., Ohio and Richard Speers is listed as Richard Reese. A public interpreter, Bartholomew Croford, is also mentioned.
There were several entries for John Jackson in the Ohio Tax Records 1816-1838 here. There were also references to a John Jackson in this Jefferson Co., Ohio, source.
*Now Wellsburg, West VA?
