It is possible that he was the brother of Ambrose Jackson, but there is no direct evidence for this. He mentioned Ambrose's granddaughter Hannah in his will, but this may be because he lived near Hannah's father (Henry Jackson) and he and his wife might have been her godparents.[1]

    Note: The first reference says he died 1744/5. The second reference does not give the split year and is ambiguous about the year his will was proved. It is possible that the split year of the will should be 1743/44 and that it was proved Apr 1744.

  3. Birth year estimated based on the limited information known about his son-in-law Edward Roberson and his granddaughter Mary Roberson, under the assumption that both of those people could have easily been 5 to 20 years old (or even older in the case of Edward) when they were referenced in wills.
