The 39 Articles were replaced by the Westminster Confession, the Book of Common Prayer by the Directory of Public Worship. Despite this, about one quarter of English clergy refused to conform to this form of State Presbyterianism.

With the Restoration of Charles II, Parliament restored the Church of England to a form not far removed from the Elizabethan version. One difference was that the ideal of encompassing all the people of England in one religious organization, taken for granted by the Tudors, had to be abandoned. The religious landscape of England assumed its present form, with the Anglican established church occupying the middle ground, and those Puritans and Protestants who dissented from the Anglican establishment, and Roman Catholics, too strong to be suppressed altogether, having to continue their existence outside the National Church rather than controlling it. Continuing official suspicion and legal restrictions continued well into the 19th century.

[1] Rev. Richard JACKSON (1602-1681) son of William JACKSON (1574-abt 1627) & Mary SLATER. He had two wives and 22 known children. His daughters married wealthy men, and at least some of his sons married into wealth.

·       He faced bankruptcy at one point, had to continually maneuver through the shifting sands of religious loyalties during the battles between the Royalists and the Roundheads. Important dates:

o   1649 Charles I was executed, and was replaced by Oliver Cromwell and the support of Puritanism and Presbyterianism, then in

o   1660, the restoration of Charles II to the throne.

·       Jackson, Richard: mat. pen. 1619 July: B.A. 1622 (Mids.); M.A. 1626. Rector of Halton, near Lancaster, 24 Nov. 1630, again March 1634/5, and ceased 1648 : his son Francis by his first marriage (to Dorothy Otway) was admitted 1649. Rector of Whittington near Kirkby Lonsdale 15 July 1641 where he gave a sun-dial (still existing) to the village. He retained his post as minister of Whittington in the 8th Lancs. Classis 2 Oct. 1646 (Shaw 2. 397), in which year he subscribed the protest of the Lancs. presbyterian ministers against toleration of strange doctrines (Halley, 1. 473). He remained there till his death in 1680/1. He was twice married: his eldest daughter Marie, was baptised 2 Dec. 1642: between 1644 and 1646 his first wife died : and he married Jane Carter 26 Jan. 1647/8-, by whom he had four daughters and a son Leonard (admitted here 1668). His tombstone, which remains much worn, shows that he was buried 24 Feb. 1680/1. (Information from Rev. John Hodgkin.) Will proved at Richmond.

A member of the Presbyterian Classis, but conformed at the Restoration. Will (Archd. Richmond) 1680. Father of Francis (1649), Leonard (1668) and William (1644-5). (yte. Hist, of Lancs., vm. 251; E.

·       On Oct. 6, 1640 Richard Jackson was appointed cleric of Whittington by Edw. Middleton of Middleton after the death of Rev. Daniel Moures. Then on June 12, 1641 Richard Jackson was reappointed, this time by The King, by lapse, as a result of simony (the selling of clerical favours).

·       First one Mr. Jackson ministr of Whittingham neare Kyrby Lonsdall, a vry pious & honest able man haveing heretofore entred bond as surety wth a popish recusant (I psume it was wth hopes to gayne him to or Church) principall for the sume of 100£, this was donne before these troubles, & the popish gentleman proveing a Delinquent all his lands & meanes beinge sequestred, is utterly disabled to satisfy that debt, whereuppon honest Mr. Jackson is like to beare the burden, but I feare it will breake his backe & the creditours (now tyme begineing to be open (?) in Lancashire where Mr. Jackson lives that suites may be tryed) doth labour to pursue Mr. Jackson & recovr his 100£ of him wch indeed is easyly done for the bond is cleere. Yet if lawe pceede agaynst Mr. Jackson & compell him to pay it as it will do, he will "be undone, and not able to subsist haveing wife & many children, 14 children he hath & the 15th (is by this tyme borne for every houre his wife lookes for it) this is this honest ministrs desire & I earnestly desire the same, that yor Lorp be pleased to advise his friend (that will repaire to yor Lorp) what course may be taken that Mr. Jackson may have satisfaction, if any be to be had out of the delinquents estate of lands or woods, or any way whereby himselfe & the publike be not priudiced, we leave it to yor Lorps wisdome, & information of any that shall be imployed to come to yor Lorp.

NOTE: The child about to be born was Roger JACKSON, and Dorothy JACKSON either died in childbirth, or shortly afterwards at about age 40.

·       A clue to some of the land holdings that he likely inherited from his father [Note: His grandmother may have been a WILKINSON. It is worth checking whether the William JACKSON (b aft 1555), son of John JACKSON (1526-1590) and Helen WILKINSON (1538-1590) is the same William JACKSON who was the father of Rev. Richard JACKSON]: Inquest taken at Kirkby Kendall, 19 September, 19 James I (1621), before Joseph BOOTHE, gentleman, escheator. Thomas WILKINSON, chapman, was seised of 2 messuages and tenements at Becksyde in Olde Hutton and 30 a. land there; a moiety of a fulling mill in Old Hutton; and a messuage and tenement at Ealingwraye in Old Hutton and 20 a. land there. By his writing dated 12 September, 12 James I (1614), made between Roger BRADLEY of Underbarrowe, chapman, of the one part and the said Thomas WILKINSON of the other part, in consideration of a marriage then to be solemnized between Giles BRADLEY, second son of the said Roger BRADLEY, and Mary, only daughter of the said Thomas WILKINSON, he granted to Roger BRADLEY that upon reasonable request he would make a conveyance to William JACKSON of Kirkby Lonsdale, mercer, Barnard GILPIN of Underbarrowe, yeoman, and James BRADLEY of Underbarrowe, clothier, and their heirs of all the aforesaid premises, to be limited to the use of the said Thomas WILKINSON and Elizabeth, then his wife, for their lives in survivorship and afterwards to the use of the said Giles BRADLEY, and his heirs begotten of the said Mary. And by another writing, in part performance of the agreement above specified, he enfeoffed William, Barnard and James of the premises; which were held of the king at the time of Thomas WILKINSON's death and are now held of Charles, prince of Wales, as of his manor of Kendall called "le Marques fee" in free socage namely by suit of court and a rent, worth yearly 20s. clear. He died 22 March 1614[-15] and Mary, now wife of Giles BRADLEY, was and is his daughter and next heir, now aged 25 years; Court of Wards Inq., p.m., vol. 64, n. 79.

[2] William JACKSON (1628-1688) of Coleraine. He had 9 known children and was a wealthy landowner in Coleraine. He married twice: 1stly Elizabeth STAPLES and 2ndly Susan Beresford (mother of his children). Both were prestigious marriages to daughters of wealthy men.

·       SEE: Timeline of JACKSONs of Coleraine.

·       SEE: Coleraine Jackson Family Tree

[3] Richard BAYLEY. I do not know who he was.

[4] Biggins is in the parish of Kirkby Lonsdale. The Carew family were predominate here.

[5] Rev. Leonard JACKSON (165-1726) Rector at Tatham, and godfather to another Leonard JACKSON.

·       Jackson, Leonard: son of Richard : born at Whittington, Lanes. School : (1) Lancaster, under M'' Holden : (2) Kirkby Lonsdale, under M"' Garthwaite for a few months. Admitted sizar under M"' [Chris.] Bainbridge [who held his Fellowship till Mids. 1669] 20 May 1668. Age 17. B.A. 1671/2; M.A. 1677. Born 21 April 1650, of Jane the second wife of Richard (matd 1619) rector of Halton, then of Whittington near Kirkby Lonsdale: half-brother of Francis (1649). Ordained deacon, Chichester, 1673 May: priest, York, 1676 May. Rector of Claughton in Lonsdale, Lanes. 5 Sept. 1678: held it till 1681, when according to Croston-Baines (5. 534) he died : but he pretty certainly is the same who resigned the vicarage of Sheriff Hutton before April 1700: and on 3 Feb. of the same year he became rector of Tatham near Wennington. Added a steeple to the church tower 1722. Died 1734: or 1726 (Croston-Baines, 5. 555) when at all events he ceased to be rector, Robert Jackson succeeding. (Information from B. N. North, Esq., Kirkby Lonsdale [aka Bordrigge North NORTH (1862-1936.)] SOURCE: Biographical Register of Christs College

·       His 1726 will would seem to indicate that he had no living children, since he left bequests to nieces, nephews, a number of cousins, and a godson Leonard JACKSON.

[6] Abigail JACKSON (1655-1721).

·       Abigail Jackson, dau of Mr Richard Jackson b. 15 Sep ; chr 16 Sep 1655 St Michael, Whittington, Lancashire  FreeReg.

·       Abigal, dau of Richard Jackson b. 15 Sep 1655 ; chr 16 Sep 1655 Whittington, Lancashire  LDS  P009001  0844794.

·       The registers of the parish church of Whittington in the County of Lancaster. Christenings, burials, and weddings, 1538 to 1764 Vol 3 Abigal, dau of Mr Richard Jackson, parson b. 15 Sep ; chr 16 Sep 1655

·        NOTE: Initially, I had her as a wife of Rowland BURROW: A Rowland Burrow married an Abigail Jackson on 26 February 1675.SOURCE: The registers of the parish church of Whittington in the County of Lancaster. Christenings, burials, and weddings, 1538 to 1764 Whittington Parish Registers . The will of her brother Samuel JACKSON indicates that she likely married  Rev. John JACKSON of Skipworth.

[7] Vigessima JACKSON (1657-1734).

·       She was the twentieth of the more than twenty children born to Rev. Richard JACKSON– hence named Vigessima. Her mother was Jane CARTER. In spite of being the 20th child, she had two younger sisters: twins Mary & Ruth.

·       She married Rev. Thomas BOUCHE (1654-1716), and he succeeded her father as rector of Whittington. In 1695, she was executor of her mother’s will.

[8] Ruth JACKSON (abt1660-1687) was christened at Whittington, with her twin Mary, and the twins were likely born there. Her death date is imputed from a record of a burial at Whittington Church. Although the transcript refers to Mrs. Ruth Jackson, I suspect it should have been recorded as: “Miss Ruth Jackson”.

[9] Richard JACKSON (1673-1730), son of William JACKSON (1628-1688) & Susan Beresford (-1706).

·       He married 1stly Anne BATE (1674-1698), and had three children, with only one surviving at the time of their mother’s death. She was buried at her hometown of Ashby de la Zouche, Leicester, England.

·       He married 2ndly Elizabeth BOYD & had five children with her.

·       It is likely that he was the Ensign Richard JACKSON who served at the siege of Derry and was under the command of Col. John MICHELBURN (who later married his mother).

[10] SOURCE: Thanks to Jan Waugh: The English Gold Angel first made its appearance in 1470 (Henry VI) and the legend on the reverse "Per Crucem Tua Salsva Nos Christie Redemptor" suggests that may have been intended as a healing piece from the first. It also was a piece intended to depict the King as divinely elected and divinely inspired.  http://www.gold-stater.com/gold-angel-coin.html

[11] Hellen JACKSON, Rather than being a sister of Rev. Richard JACKSON, and hence a daughter of William JACKSON (1574-abt 1627) & Mary SLATER (abt 1575-), I suspect she was a sister-in-law and the wife of Rev. Richard JACKSON’s brother John JACKSON. If my hunches are correct, then she was born Helen SEDGEWICKE, and she married John JACKSON in 1641 at Kirkby Lonsdale.

[13] Dorothy WALKER née JACKSON (1639-aft1688). Her husband was a merchant, Thomas WALKER of Leeds. She was not described as a widow in 1688 in 1688 Sept 22. Betham Funeral Entries relating to her brother William JACKSON (1628-1688), so I presume that her husband was still alive.

[14] Mary WALKER. Daughter of Thomas WALKER and Dorothy JACKSON (1639 – aft 1688).

[15] Mary BRIGGS née JACKSON (1660 -Aft 1626) She married Rev. John BRIGGS 24 June 24th, 1673

·       NOTE: It is puzzling that she married this young – abt 13 years old. It may be that the transcription of the early parish records includes an error.

·       The family was rooted at Kirkby Lonsdale: Inquest taken at Kirbie Kendall 23 September, 4 Chas. I (1628) before Henry COWPER, esq., escheator, by the oath of Anthony KNIPE, gent., Allan STEPHENSON, Henry FIELD, Christopher PHILLIPSON, Thomas BRIGGES, William HODGSON, John BIRKETT, Henry GARNETT, Adam SHEPHEARD, Miles WILLIAMSON, James HARDIE, Edmond GARNETT, Robert HARLINGE, William JENINGES, Edward HARLINGE and John JACKSON yeomen, who say that:Thomas Adlan, yeoman, on the day he died was seised of 1 messuage and 10 acres of land, meadow and pasture and common of pasture and turbary to said mess. belonging in Olde Hutton. Premises held of king as of his manor of Kirkbie Kendall called "le Marquesse fee" in free socage and are worth yearly clear 6d. He died 25 Septr, 3 Chas. 1 (1627), and Elizabeth Adlan is his daughter and nearest heir, aged 4 years 10 months now; Chanc. Inquisns post mort., ser. ii, vol. 707, n. 79. SOURCE: British History on line.

[16] Hannah BOND née JACKSON (1636-aft 1688). Her husband was a Major. No dates or first name for her husband known as yet.

[17] Sir John OTWAY (1620-1693)

·       Sir John OTWAY married a Mary BIGGS (1620-1695) – she may be related to the BRIGGS family. He was the half-brother of Dorothy JACKSON née OTWAY.

·       In the 1660s Friends suffered persecution in this area as they did elsewhere; however the local Justice of the Peace, Sir John Otway of Ingmire Hall, was sympathetic to the Quaker cause and helped to secure the release of Friends from gaol.

[19] In Hoc Signe Vinces In this sign you will conquer. An image of a 1721 version includes the symbol of a cross and the motto. It is also a Masonic motto.

[20] Jane JACKSON née CARTER (abt 1618-1695), the 2nd wife of Rev. Richard JACKSON. Her will was probated.

[21] Bryan DAWNEY aka DAWNIE

[22] John JOHNSTON. He also signed the probate of Jane JACKSON, widow of Rev. Richard JACKSON.

[23] Henry JOHNSTON. He also signed the probate of Jane JACKSON, widow of Rev. Richard JACKSON.

[24] Nathaniel WATERMAN

[25] Leonard TOWNSON

[26] John BRIGGS aka BRIGGES.   This is likely Rev. John BRIGGS, the husband of Mary JACKSON (1653-aft1695),  daughter of Rev. Richard JACKSON.

[27] William SLATER. NOTE: Rev. Richard JACKSON's mother was a Mary SLATER. I would expect a family connection to this William SLATER (thanks to Jan Waugh for catching this).
