Jacksons of Canterbury & Nantwich England and Co. Cork, Ireland. This Family tree starts in Lancashire with the 1571 birth of Rev. Thomas JACKSON. He became the prebendary of Canterbury Cathedral and was a grandfather of Lodowick JACKSON of Youghall Co. Cork who served as a customs and paymaster in the mid-1600s. In the 1640s, Rev. Thomas experienced financial set-backs and had to retrench. The financial circumstances of his family was like many of their class whose sons lived in Ireland and worked as merchants, military, clerics, or government officials.

Jacksons of Canterbury, & Nantwich England and Co. Cork, Ireland.

 

Much of this tree was made possible thanks to Jan Waugh’s research and her transcriptions of two key wills: 1647 Probate of Will of Rev Thomas JACKSON and the 1658 March 14 Probate Will of Elizabeth JACKSON.

NOTE: There is one child whose placement I am not totally sure about. I have highlighted his name in red: Dr. William JACKSON b. 1636 d. aft 1690.

[1] Rev. Thomas JACKSON (est. 1571-1646)

  • 1647 Probate of Will of Rev Thomas JACKSON Clearly between his 1st will in 1642 and his revised will in 1645, he had some serious financial setbacks. Numerous bequests were withdrawn. This happened to other clerics in his time.

    Thomas Jackson. Matric. sizar from Emmanuel (College), Michs. 1589. Born in Lancashire. Perhaps M.A. 1600 (see Grace for B.D.); B.D. 1608; D.D. 1615. C. of Wye, Kent, in 1596-c1614. R. of Boughton Aleph, 1611-4. Preb. of Canterbury, 1614-33. R. of Gt Chart, 1616-29. R. of St George's, Canterbury, 1622. R. of Milton, 1624. V. of Chilham, 1624. R. of Ivy church, 1629.

  • British History on line. THOMAS JACKSON, S. T. P. a native of Lancashire, was installed in 1614, being at that time rector of Ivechurch, after which he was, at times, rector of Great Chart, Chilham, St. George's in Canterbury, and of Milton, near that city, and likewise minister of Wye, in this county. He found such favour with the puritans, having been a witness against archbishop Laud, who had been his good friend and patron, (fn. 37 Wood says the archbishop had given him an hospital.) that the state committee allowed him 100l. pension). (fn. 38 Walker's Suff. of Clergy, pt. ii. p. 7. See an account of him and his writings in Wood's Ath. vol. i. p. 636.) He was buried on November 13, 1646, in this cathedral, after which this prebend remained vacant till the restoration
  • At the time of writing his will, 6 April 1642 [codicil Sep 13, 1644], Rev. Thomas JACKSON had “lectured” at Canterbury Cathedral for 28 years. He was writing during the time of religious upheaval during the Cromwellian period, and stressed his bone fides as a Church of England man – opposed to Papists, Armenians and Sectarios.
  • He describes his wife as being a ganefull and frugall good wife in gettinge and savinge.
  • He has a lease to his house in Mercury Lane which I hold by lease from the deane and chapter of Christchurch Canters as well as many other properties.
  • He has a sister or sister-in-law JACKSON of Wie and she has a daughter named Anne. I suspect that “Wie” is Wye of Kent. It is also a place where Rev. Thomas JACKSON served as a Rector in 1615.

Without his Grace's protection this usage must turn to his ruin for his great and untainted reputation is blasted, and his Grace's poor old servant is now to begin again in a worse condition than when he came over with his Grace. He relies on his Grace's wonted goodness to recommend him to a service in his Grace's family, wherein his wife, being one of the daughters of Sir George Gwynn, Baronet, would be glad of the honour to assist her Grace as a confectioner. His son, whom he has kept at Kilkenny School, is fitted by his small growth, and other education, to wait on his Grace or his Lady Duchess as page, or to attend on Lord Ossory in his travels. He presumes this because Lady Thurles told him his mother was nearly related to her. Abstract. Calendar of the manuscripts of the Marquess of Ormonde, K. P., preserved at Kilkenny castle.

o   Did Lodowick JACKSON have a falling out with James BUTLER (1610-1688), Marquess of Ormond?

o   Was his health failing enough that he could not carry out his duties or were there differnces of policy. Perhaps recommendations re: Stamp duties?

o   Did Lodowick JACKSON have a 2nd wife, daughter of Sir George GWYNN?

o   Did Lodowick JACKSON end up in Dungarvin, Co. Waterford  for a while?

Quoted in Writing Illness and Identity in Seventeenth-Century Britain. David Thorley. Palgrave, MacMillan. 2016 (NOTE: Also available on line as Thorley’s thesis in 2013):

o   In 1686, Lodowick Jackson wrote to Boyle with a similarly detailed medical history [similar to Gale]. He had been afflicted with the Gout, or Rhumatism, almost in every Joynt” … insisting, ‘I am not unknown to your Honorable family’, although he did not elaborate on how he was acquainted with the Boyles. His appeal to Boyle was made on philosophical terms rather than personal, enclosing a printed ‘Advertisement for Hoxdon Wells’, and announcing his hope to give Boyle ‘an experienced Satisfaction, touching the nature and operation of these waters’. Jackson’s case history is similarly detailed to Gale’s, reporting each day how much of the well water he has drunk and the stools and urine that resulted. As well as drinking the water, he reports, ‘I also bathe my feet and knees in the water mixt with my urin, but find little good as yet by either’. Like Gale, he has a specific question for Boyle: ‘Now Sir my humble, request is, that you vouchsafe me your oppinion, for my better Government while I stay here, and what other observations, I shall make for your satisfaction either by my drinkeing A Lesse or Larger quantity, or what other rules you thinke propper.

·       Wiki: Sir Walter Raleigh was Mayor of Youghal in 1588 and lived in the Warden's Residence (now known as Myrtle Grove). Having bought Sir Walter's land for £1,000 in 1596, Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork, bought the church on 29 March 1606. Two years later, at the cost of £2,000, he rebuilt the church making good the devastation of the Desmond Rebellion. He endeavoured at the same time to increase the population of the town by infusion of "an active and enterprising race of English inhabitants". In the civil war or 1641, Richard Boyle added two large towers to the house, built five circular turrets to around the park and cast a platform of earth on which he placed ordnance to command the town and harbour. He erected a marble monument for himself and his family which almost reaches the roof of the chapel. In 1649, during the Commonwealth, Oliver Cromwell conducted his campaign from Youghal and delivered a funeral oration from the top of a chest which is still preserved in the church.

·       NOTE: Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork (13 October 1566 – 15 September 1643), also known as the Great Earl of Cork, who served as Lord Treasurer of the Kingdom of Ireland. Boyle was born at Canterbury on 3 October 1566, the second son of Roger Boyle (d. 24 March 1576 at Preston, near Faversham in Kent), a descendant of an ancient landed Herefordshire family, and of Joan (15 October 1529 –20 March 1586), daughter of John Naylor, who were married in Canterbury on 16 October 1564. Both his parents are interred in an alabaster tomb at the upper end of the chancel of the parish church of Preston.[2] His elder brother was John Boyle, Bishop of Cork, Cloyne and Ross. Young Boyle went to The King's School, Canterbury, at the same time as Christopher Marlowe. His university education began at Bennet (Corpus Christi) College, Cambridge, England, in 1583. His son, Robert Boyle, was the celebrated chemist that Lodowick JACKSON wrote to for advice on his gout.

·       NOTE: He was not mentioned in either of his parent’s wills. Email 2020 Jan 11. Jan Waugh.

·       NOTE: Even though there are significant corroborating facts, 40 years of childbearing years for his mother Elizabeth JACKSON (d 1658) is a bit of a stretch. It is possible he might have been a grandson of the testator Rev. Thomas JACKSON possibly a son of the 2nd Rev. Thomas JACKSON.. Another possibility is that he was an illegitimate child. A third possibility, not unknown, is that one of his “sisters” gave birth out of wedlock and that child  was raised as her brother.
