Commentary
James’s parentage:
James’s residence is recorded as Crossens in the baptism records of his children. In his 1729 will, Robert Jackson leaves property in Crossens to his son James. The St Cuthbert’s register records the baptism 5 January 1706/7 of “James Jacson Sonne of Robert”. Robert’s eldest child was baptized 11 May 1705. The St Cuthbert’s register records the marriage 9 December 1704 of Robert Jackson and Ann Walker. Robert Jackson’s will names his wife Ann.
