link:1604[/05]: ffebruary: Edward sonne of Christopher Jackson of [] bapt. 4 day
[Note this record is that which has been cited by every author to date on this family. There is one issue to contend with... the same son Edward son of Christopher Jackson was buried on 29 Feb 1604/05 also at St Dunstan and All Saints:link: Buryalles: 1604[/05]: ffebruary: Edward Son of Christopher Jackson of [] Buryed 28 day. [clearly this is not his baptism date as that child died young. However, we do know from Middlesex deeds that Cambridge Village called Edward and John "brothers" when they assigned Edward 40 acres next to John. We also have the baptisms for eight of Edward's children in the same place. Furthermore he and his supposed father were both called nail makers in England and he was called a nail maker in Cambridge Village. So we can't completely dismiss the English origin theory outright. Perhaps the correct baptism records will be found or perhaps it is lost to time].
