A letter from Col. Benson dated February 28, 1645 mentions that Richard JACKSON, minister of Whittingham near Kirby Lonsdall, has loaned some money to a popish recusant and that now this fellow is proving a Delinquent all his lands and meanes beinge sequestered and that he was utterly disabled to satisfy this debt. This poor minster (who is our lad) has a wife and many children, 14 children he hath & the 15th (is by this time borne for every houre his wife looks to it).  Presumably, this child would have been the Rodger son of Mr. Richard Jackson pson of Whittington 15 Mar 1645 mentioned in the christening records. Rodger aka Roger was the third known child of Jane & Richard JACKSON. There were also six known children from Richard’s earlier marriage to Dorothy OTWAY. If Benson is right and there were in fact 15 children including Roger by February or at least March of 1645, then we still have six more children to find. Who were they and where were they born? They were probably born between 1627 and 1641 in parishes where their father served before become the vicar of Whittington. SOURCE: The Ejected of 1662 in Cumberland and Westmoreland

Its Church, dedicated to S. Michael, is known to have been in existence in the fourteenth century. The Parish of Whittington comprises 4,327 acres, including the townships of Newton, Docker, and Whittington, and contains a population of 339. The adjoining parishes on the Westmoreland side are Burton and Kirkby Lonsdale, and on the Lancashire side Tunstall, Melling, and Warton. The Parish Registers share, with Whalley and Farnworth (near Widnes), the honour of commencing in 1538 — the year appointed by Vicar-General Cromwell.

This has further significance in terms of further research since in 1820 R. T. NORTH (b. 1782) sold the Jackson's Hall estate, as well as almost all the Irish property, reserving however 1,000 acres in the co. of Cavan. It is also of interest that a B.N. NORTH supplied the bibliographic information on Leonard JACKSON in Biographical Register of Christ’s College 1505-1905.  Vol II 1666-1905 Compiled by John Peile. Cambridge University Press. 1913
