LORDS JUSTICES AND COUNCIL TO MR. ANTHONY TIERBNS.

1642, August 2. — ^We have understood by your last letter to Mr. Schoute, dated the 6th of July last, as also by two several letters of Mr. Jackson directed to yourself, the excessive loss of Blackmonies and the great increase of commodities in Bilbao, and have formerly ordered you to get the proceed of His Majesty's salmon in wool, iron or exchange, as you should conceive best for His Majesty's advantage, which commission we by these presents do confirm, and if you shall think it more to redound to His Majesty's profit to have the said proceed returned by exchange into South Spain and to employ it there in wines and fruits for His Majesty's account, we shall be well pleased therewith, provided always our monies are returned into good hands and the goods insured there. As for the quantity and quality you are to take Mr. Schoute's direction, who will advise you of what is best vendable here, to whom you are to consign all, and he to be accountable here to His Majesty for the same.

1678 Dec 10 EARL OF ORRERY TO ORMOND.

Finding that Major Congreve cannot remove (without prejudice)

to Youghal, I humbly beg your Grace, by my brother

Burlington's desire, for your order for Captain Savage's company,

now at Cork, to remove to Youghal, and garrison there.

Mr. Roderick Jackson is just now come to me from Youghal

with notice of a ship of above eighty tons that is by stress of

weather driven into that harbour, the master whereof is an

Irish Papist, and he saith all his lading is figs, that he comes

from Cadiz, and is bound for Ostend on the account of Mr.

Browne, a Papist, of Waterford. 'Tis suspected the ship has

much gunpowder in her under the upper casks of figs, for the

ablest merchants of Youghal aver that a cargo of figs is not to

be found at Cadiz, and will not vend at Ostend, but we dare

not stay or search her to the bottom without your Excellency's

order to Mr. Jackson and the officers of that port.

1680, August 7. COLONEL EDWARD COOKE TO ORMOND.

. …

Be pleased to let your Grace's

commands to me be directed to be left with Mr.. Jackson, my

Lord Devonshire's servant at Newport House, who will certainly

convey them to me whereever I am.

NOTE: The most famous servant to the Earl of Devonshire (William Cavendish, 3rd Earl) at Newport House in the 17th century was the philosopher and mathematician Thomas Hobbes. Employed as the family’s secretary, tutor, and companion, Hobbes resided with the Devonshire household at Newport House in London, where he famously read, wrote, and interacted with visiting scholars.

In his 17th-century biographical masterpiece Brief Lives, John Aubrey often relied on firsthand accounts from servants to capture the authentic, everyday quirks of historical figures. He includes a famous anecdote about a "Mr. Jackson" who served Archbishop Laud, underscoring Aubrey's unique, on-the-ground method of historical research

He was the prominent Anglican theologian Dr. Thomas Jackson (1579–1640). With the help of Archbishop William Laud, Jackson was appointed President of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, in 1630, and Dean of Peterborough in 1638

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.) <https://www.british-history.ac.uk/survey-kent/vol12/pp55-108> that the state committee allowed him 100l. pension).

LODOWICK JACKSON TO ORMONDE. 1688, September 10. London.—Concerning his misfortunes. When his Grace's grandfather first entertained him of his family, he left a considerable station in Gray's Inn, recommended by Sir Robert Poyntz, as the son of his Grace's near kinswoman. He continued about twenty-four years in his Grace's favour, and served in several capacities in three farms of the Irish revenue. As his Grace's favourite he became obnoxious and was suspended. He came to London full of infirmities, sick and lame, and could never get employ. Abstract

LODOWICK JACKSON TO ORMONDE. 1688, December 31.—Concerning a loan which he was negotiating for his Grace. He asks his Grace to countenance a proposal which he is presenting to the Prince of Orange. It was approved by his Majesty, Lord Rochester, and his Grace's grandfather and probably would have taken good effect if the last Parliament had not been dissolved. Abstract.

ROBERT ROCHFORD TO ORMONDE. 1706-7, March 1 8. Dublin.—It is with unspeakable satisfaction your friends received the news of your Grace's recovery from your late indisposition, and what added to it was your account of your return into this kingdom in April next, to the great disappointment of some evil members among us, which are the only venomous creatures this soil can bear, and I hope your Grace's time is so fixed that you may have opportunity to know what is aimed at on the one hand, as well as what your Grace may in your wisdom think necessary to be advanced on the other hand, for her Majesty's service, the good of this poor country, and your Grace's honour in your administration, to which I shall always contribute my poor endeavours. Your Grace will by this packet receive a recommendation from the Lords Justices at the instance of my Lord Santry, Mr. Recorder of Dublin, and me who are the chief parishioners in Santry parish, that Mr. John Jackson may succeed in the parish of Santry to an excellent good man that is newly dead, and the living in the government's disposal, in which your Grace will oblige all the parish and a great many more than will presume to trouble your Grace on this occasion. In the next place I am a most humble suitor to your Grace that a rather small living in the county of Dublin of about 60Z. a year, but a constant cure, may by your Grace's favour be given to one Mr. Robert Grattan ; his father was a worthy considerable divine in our Church, was chaplain to your Grace's most noble grandfather and family, and this gentleman I make bold to mention to your Grace is of an unblemished character and reputation and of great learning, and if he were not master of all the endowments befitting his function, I had not presumed to have interceded for your Grace's favour herein. I have troubled your Grace too much and therefore must humbly beg your pardon, and your Grace's acceptance of my being as I am, &c. The living is Kilsallaghan.
