NOTE: I have focused on JACKSONs in the early years – up to 1800 with a few other names of interest added as they caught my attention.

 

There are a number of items that caught my attention:

  1. Dorothy OTWAY as a wife of Richard. It may be pertinent that that the Armagh Clergy and Parishes mentions another clerical OTWAY: 1679/80— Thomas Otway, D.D. (Dubl. and ad eund. Camb.)
  2. A General OTWAY had a regiment. General Sir Loftus William Otway, Otway was born the fourth of five sons to Cooke and Elizabeth Otway of Castle Otway, Tipperary.
  3. Also, in Armagh Clergy and Parishes there is mention of the 1655 probate of Rev. William SMITH aka SMYTH, Archdeacon of Clogher (d. 1653). He was the son of Rev. SMITH of Cowling in Craven and Boudegate, Yorkshire who matriculated at Christ’s College. He had a brother-in-law Stephen JACKSON. This convergence is interesting because of Jackson, Stephan; son of Thomas JACKSON of Yorks; school Newcastle admitted June 11, 1627 age 17 (b. 1610). Thomas the father was of Cowling, Yorks.
  4. There is also a reference in The General Armory of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.Vol II. Bernard Burke: Jackson -- Coleraine, County Londonderry; fun. Established 1688, William Jackson, son of Rev. Richard Jackson of Whittington County Lancaster by Dorothy Otway wife, daughter of Sir John Otway knight of Ingmire. Gu a fess betw. Three cormorants ar. NOTE: I believe that Sir John was Dorothy OTWAY’s  brother and their father was Roger OTWAY.

 

NOTE: At bottom of Vol II notes are pertinent page references to Vol I.

NOTE: I have bolded names that are in the Coleraine JACKSON tree.

*Fowke, Edward: the last consocius; stands generally before Nunne, though 
later in degree which perhaps he delayed : he was a questionist only in 
Feb. 150f : his "cautio" being "una mirra sine aliquo bosso intus cum 
fractura ad latus intus" (Grace Book B^ 208). But he was M.A. 1507-8 
(ib. 232), and B.D. according to his will. He appears with Will. Jackson, 
clerk, perhaps also a Fellow, in 1512 in an indenture respecting Coventry 
land. He was presented by the College to the rectory of Navenby 6 Oct. 1513, 
and probably held it till his death : administration of goods granted 17 Nov. 
1529 (Cat. Mss. Univ. Lib. 5. 538). Henry Lockwood was presented in 1529/30.

10

 
Cromwell, Gregory : son of Tho. Cromwell, Secretary of State. Inserted here, 
though doubtfully. He was a-pupil of Lockwood, who mentions him in several 
letters to his father : e.g. " ray loving pupill Gregory " [Cal. Bom. State Papers, 
Vol. 5, no. 1136): he hopes "after Christmas 1532 to have him again as a 
bedfellow at Christ's College" (ib., no. 1139). "Your son Gregory is merry, 
thanked be God " (ib., 1746). Gregory became Baron Cromwell in 1540: 
married Elizabeth sister of Jane Seymour, and died 1557. (D.N.B., xiii. 202.)

NOTE: I have included him because he is in the family tree on account of a descendant marrying a TOLLEMACHE.

Otway, — : also a scholar 1551-2 : he may be the Otway who was Fellow before 
L. Day 1554, and had his last payment L. Day 1558 : but I think that the 
identification of the Fellow with Geo. Otway of St Catharine's more likely 
(see above, p. 42). Possibly the Otway who had license to practise 
medicine 1559 (but not found in A): perhaps Roger Otway who matricu- 
lated as pensioner at St John's Nov. 1551. Probably one of the Otways of 
Middleton, Westmorland, several of whom were later members of the College : 
possibly brother of Thomas Otway who died 1592, and sent two sons here, 
Edward (1581) and George (1596).

61

... 20 acres of land in Melmerby which (he said) his brother had devised to him for life (See W. Jackson Papers and Pedigrees, 2 286 an 298)

109

Jackson, John (1572) appears as BA at Christ’s 1572/3. Possibly mat at St. John’s 1570. One Jackson a scholar in 1571-2. The names defy any certain identification. But possibly he was John Jackson, rector of Melsonby, Yorks 1573-1606-7 in which year he was buried at Richmond on Feb 20; father of Timothy Jackson, B.A. Christ`s 1611-2 of John (1613) and of Nathanial (1616.)

166

 
Otway, Edward: mat. pen. 1581 Nov.: a scholar: B.A. 1584/5; M.A. 1589. 
Perhaps son of Thomas Otway of Middleton, Westmoreland, baptised at 
Kirkby Lonsdale 22 Oct. 1563. In College Accounts 1594-5 there is a charge 
"Troilus (the College Porter) going to M'" Otway about Fen Drayton": he 
may perhaps have been curate there. Vicar of Braughing, Herts. 1593-1616 
when he died. Father of Humphrey Otway (1627), and grandfather of Thomas, 
the poet, who was not at Christ's.

177

 
Jackson, John: mat. pen. (Jacson) 1583 Oct. : B.A. 158|. One of these names 
vicar of Stainton, Yorks. 28 May 1592, patron Will. Cardinal Esq.

179

 
Jackson, Roger : mat. siz. (Jacson) 1584 June : B.A. 1587/8 ; M.A. 1591. Probably 
a member of a family of Jacsons of East Bridgeford, Notts. : possibly uncle of 
Roger (1615): and the same as Roger Jackson M.A. instd. to Colston Basset, 
Notts. 4 Jan. 1592/3, who occurs in the Parliamentary Commissioners' report of 
1650 (Godfrey, Bingham Hundred, p. 86 and 90) as still receiving £40 a year, 
but disabled by old age from discharging the cure : wherefore he hires Roger 
Litherland, who preaches once and sometimes twice every Sunday.

180

Hall, Robert married Margaret JACKSON 1607-8 but had no children.

208

 
*Jackson, John: mat. pen. 1592-3: B.A. l592/3 ; M.A. 1600. Elected Fellow 
before Mids. 1600: last payment at Mids. 1605. Mr John Jackson, M.A. of 
Christ's, aged 28, was married at St Benet's in 1605 to Eliz. daughter of Rob. 
Browne, draper[1], (Ely Episc. Rec. 263). One of these names was prebendary 
of Lichfield 29 Sept. 1623, and died between 1642 and 1660 (Le Neve) : the 
same may have been rector of Madeley, Staffs. 14 Oct. 1635.

222

 
Otway, George: mat. siz. 1596-7: B.A. 1599/0; M.A. 1603. Possibly a son 
(baptised at Kirkby Lonsdale, 6 July 1578) of Tho. Otway of Middleton 
Westmorland]., and so, half-brother of Edward, admitted 1581. He was father of 
Thomas Otway (afterwards Bishop of Ossory) admitted here 1632 (perhaps 
also of George, matr. 1623) ; and was beneficed at Alderbury, Wilts, where 
Thomas was born 1616 : the dates of his institution and cessation are not 
recoverable — but he signed as vicar a presentment made at a visitation in 1616 
(H. A. Maiden). The family of Otway at this period was largely represented 
at Cambridge, both at Christ's and at St John's : and it is curious how often 
even when settled in the south of England its members sent their sons to 
school at Sedbergh or Kirkby Lonsdale. Geo. Otway however did not do so : 
the future Bishop was educated at Winchester, as was his namesake, the 
dramatist.

Jackson, Timothy. Mat siz 1607-8 MA 1615. Eldest son of John Jackson, rector of Melsonby. Mentioned in his mother`s will 1628 (More details) patron Chris Dodsworth.

Jackson, Timothy: mat. siz. (Sid.) 1607 B.A. 1611/2; M.A. 1615. Eldest son 
of Joh. Jackson rector of Melsonby, see page 109. Ordained deacon, York, 
16 If Feb. : "assistant" at Doncaster, Feb. 28 : priest 1613 Dec. Curate of 
Hackness ('' Harkness "). Probably the " preacher at Wragby, Yorks." who 
published an exposition of Paul's 2 Ep. Thess., mentioned by Thoresby : 
perhaps also the vicar of " H. Trin. or Ch. Ch. in curia Regis " York. 6 Sept. 
1631, patron Chris. Dodsworth : died vicar before March 163|. Mentioned in 
his mother's will, 1628. Brother of John (adm. 1613) and of Nathaniel (adm. 
1616). See Yorks. Arch. Journal, 6. 187. NOTE: I have Vol 6 being 1881, and have transcribed pertinent entries.

292

Jackson, John mat siz 1613 July B.A. 1616-7 MA 1620. Born 1600 son of John rector of Melsonby, Yorks ... married Joanna BOWES of Barnes Durham. Had one son, Berkeley who died an infant. Died rector before Feb 6, 1642-3 when Edward Mauleverer succeeded him. He was called a good old Puritan – more details. Brother of Timothy (BA 1611/12) and Nathaniel (adm 1616) Minister after 1644 in Barwick at Elmet at whose house he died Wife Joanna.

Jackson, John: mat. siz. 1613 July: B.A. 161|; M.A. 1620. Born 1600: son 
of John, rector of Melsonby, Yorks. (see page 109). Master of Richmond 
Grammar School 1618-20. Ordained deacon (York) as of Christ's College 
1619 Dec: licensed to preach 16iJ Jan. : priest 162f Feb. Rector of Marske 
28 Aug. 1620, patron Tim. Hutton of Marske. In 1629 married Joanna, 
daughter of Ralph Bowes of Barnes, Durham, by whom he had one son, 
Berkeley, who died an infant: died rector before 6 Feb. 164| when Edw. 
Maleverer succeeded him (Shaw 2. 337). According to Thoresby, also rector 
of Barwick in Elmet, he may have held both livings, and resided at Barwick. 
According to Wood, Fa^ti, 1. 509 (but doubtfully) preacher at Gray's 
Inn 164 J : if so, perhaps the John Jackson of St Martin in the Fields, clerk, 
admitted at Gray's Inn 21 Mar. 164^: also a member of the Westminster 
Assembly of Divines 1643. But John Jacksons were numerous. Letters 
from him {i.e. the rector of Marske) to Matt. Hutton in the Hutton 
Correspondence (Surtees Soc^.) 259, 260 : some good Latin verses (ib. 297). 
Ralph Thoresby calls him "a good old Puritan [he had been 'presented' 
for not reading prayers on the eves of Holy days and for not wearing the 
surplice], and one of the Assembly of Divines, yet so zealously affected for 
King Charles, when he heard of his being brought before a pretended High 
Court of Justice, that he prayed earnestly that God would interfere to prevent 
that horrid act which would be a perpetual shame to the nation and a 
reproach to the Protestant religion, or at least would be pleased to remove 
him that he might not see that woeful day. His prayer was heard and 
answered as to himself. For not willing to depend upon common fame I 
examined the register of Barwick in Elmet, and found he was buried the 
week before." [But he died two years earlier : see above.] Thoresby had " a 
common-place book in Latin, wherein also are many remarks in the Italian 
language by the Rev. M"* John Jackson of Barwick in Elmet, formerly of 
Marsk." Brother of Timothy, B.A. 161 J : also of Nathaniel (adm. 1616) 
minister after 1644 in Barwick in Elmet ; at whose house he died. See Canon 
Raine in the Yorks. Arch, Journal vi. 184 ; also in Archaeologia Aeliana p. 9 : 
who gives the curious epitaph to his wife Joanna (ib. 179) : he thought 
however that John was rector of Barwick, not Nathaniel. A further difficultj'^ 
is caused by the fact that Raine (followed by J. Foster, Al. Ox. 795) makes him 
(John second son of John, rector at Melsonby) to be admitted at Lincoln, Oxford 
7 June 1616, aged 16 : he is not allowed any degree, but made Head Master 
of Richmond, while an undergraduate of 18. The ordination at York 1619, 
as of Christ's, is conclusive that he was here, and graduated here. But it is 
possible that he may have entered at Lincoln with the view of migration and 
not proceeded further.

NOTE: He also reported on "above 20,000 obstinate Recusantes" in the archdeaconry of Richmond alone. SOURCE: Lives of the Elizabethan Bishops of the Anglican Church

Jackson,. Roger. Mat siz 1615; BA 1618-9 MA 1622. Probably second son of Michael JACKSON of East Bridgford, Notts and of Frances POOLE. Married Sancta HANSON sister of John HANSON of London. Had four sons: John (1650) George (1663) and William; also nephew William (1639). It does not appear whether he was related to Roger of 1584.

Jackson, Roger: mat. siz. 1615 Dec: B.A. 161f; M.A. 1622. Probably second 
son of Mich. Jackson of East Bridgford, Notts., and of Frances Poole. 
Ordained priest, Lichfield, 1622/3 May. One of these names vicar of Sutton on 
the Hill, Derbs. 11 Feb. 1622/3. One was rector of Dalbury in 1650— gone 1652. 
Married Sancta, sister of John Hanson of London. Probably he was the 
parson of Langford, Derbs. (? Langford St Bart., now held with Holme St Giles, 
Notts.) instituted 6 Aug. 1662. Had four sons of whom two were at Christ's, 
John (1650) and George (1663), and one, William, at Jesus: also a nephew, 
William, at Christ's 1639. It does not appear whether he was related to 
Roger of 1584.

311

 
Jackson, Nathaniel: mat. siz. 1616 July: B.A. 1616; M.A. 1623. Brother of 
Timothy (B.A. 161 J) and of John (mat. 1613) : son of John Jackson rector 
of Melsonby, Yorks. Ordained deacon, York, 1623 June: priest 162 J Feb. 
Presented by Hen. Gookricke to vicarage of Hunsingore 11 June 1623-1625. 
Rector of Stonegrave 19 May 1629-1644, perhaps again 1660-2. Minister of 
Barwick in Elmet till 1660, after 1644, where his brother John lived with 
him till 1646/7. The Commonwealth Commissioners, reporting on Barwick say 
that '* Mr Nathaniel Jackson a godly learned and painful preacher is minister 
here." He parted with Roundhay, distant three miles from Barwick, to 
become a new parish with Shadwell and Brandon : and in consideration of his 
loss thereby he was to nominate the first minister. (Survey of Church Lands 
made during the Commonwealth, at Lambeth Library.) He died at York 
1 Nov. 1662 : in his will dated 18 Oct. he describes himself as of York. If 
he returned to Stonegrave after the appointment of his successor at Barwick 
in 1660, he was probably ejected in 1662. (Canon Raine in Yorks. Arch. J. 
vi. 188: letters from Rev. F. S. Coleman and Rev. E. A. B. Pitman.) 
Thoresby had among his mss. " Mr Nath. Jackson of Berwick's notes on 
certain herbes."

329

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. (Croston-Baines, 5. 559.)
NOTE: We have much more to learn about his children’s names. Also, he may have had a wife between OTWAY and CARTER. This Richard JACKSON is the one who had many children who ended up in Coleraine in the mid 1600s.

336

 
Jackson, Peter: matriculation not found: B.A. 1621. One of these names, 
living 1632, a younger son of Thomas Jackson of Harraton, Durham (Surtees 
2. 183). One was ejected from Castle Sowerby, Cumberland in 1662 (Calamy- 
Palmer, 1. 303).

342

Richard JACKSON died rector (of Nantwich) 1677 after being there 29 years.

348

Wilbore, Zachary (b 1610). Son of Zachary WILBORE of Bentley & Mary JACKSON (who was still living in 1647)

355

 
Otway, George: not found in Adm". book. Mat. siz. June 1623. 
B.A. 1626/7; M.A. 1630. Signs as curate in the Fen Drayton Register 
1630-4. Perhaps vicar of Chatteris in 1634 (Ely Ep. Records, 281). Seques- 
tered, 1644 (Kingston, 393). Possibly an elder son of George (mat. 1596) 
vicar of Alderbury, Wilts, and so an elder brother of Thomas (1632), after- 
wards Bishop of Ossory.

365

Jackson, Will. (BA 1624) I.  Son of William. of Kent

Jackson, William: son of William. Of Kent. School: Ouburn [?Albourne, 
Sussex : or Oborne, Dorset] " desudavit in schola Ouburnensi " under Mr 
Gibson. Admitted pensioner under Mr Scott 14 Mar. 1624/5. 
B.A. 162f. One of these names, rector of North Ockendon, Essex 26 Apr. 
1629 ; reported in 1650 as "a learned divine constantly performing the cure" 
(Davids, 257). He joined on 17 Nov. 1629 in the petition to Laud of 41 
Essex clergymen, who begged Laud to enforce uniformity in his diocese, and 
" to enforce these irregulars to conforme with us." He adds to his name : 
*'in all submission to your high wisdome, I most humbly subscribe to this 
humble petition" — a humility not unbefitting so young a rector — if indeed 
this be the man, which may be doubted (ib. 161).

384

 
Otway, Humphry : son of Edward : born at " Braffin " [Braughing], Herts. 
School : (1) Battle, Sussex under Mr Slack, M'' Marbery and M'" Tuttesham : 
(2) at Edinburgh under Professor King " unus quattuor ibi tum regentibus," 
1 year : (3) Sedbergh, under Mr Nelson, 2 years. Admitted sizar under the 
Master 25 May 1627. Age 16. 
B.A. 163? ; M.A. 1634. Edward the father, vicar of Braughing, was 
mat''. 1581. Humphry was ordained deacon, Norwich, Dec. 1633 ; priest 
Mar. 163 J. Rector of Winestead, Yorks. at some date after 1624. (Poulson, 
Holderness, 2. 476.) Rector of Everingham, Yorks. 20 May 1639. He 
appears (or another of the same names) as holding the cure of Trotton, Sussex 
in 1651 ; and rector of Woolbeding, 16 July 1660: there in 1669. He can 
hardly have been also rector of Llanrwst 27 Sept. 1660? Father of Tho. 
Otway, the poet, bom 1651 and admitted at Ch. Ch., Oxford 1669 — whence 
he removed to St John's, Cambridge. Died probably 1670.

385

Jackson, Stephan; son of Thomas JACKSON of Yorks; school Newcastle admitted June 11, 1627 age 17 (b. 1610). Thomas the father was of Cowling, Yorks.

Jackson, Stephen: son of Thomas: of Yorks. School: (1) Newcastle, 3 J years 
under Mr Fowbrey, Mr Gray, and Mr Wigham : (2) York, under Mr Garth- 
waite 1½  years. Admitted pensioner under Mr Chappell 11 June 1627. 
Age 17. Admitted at Gray’s Inn 9 June 1629, Thomas the father, was of Cowling, Yorks.

385

 
Pepper, Christopher : son of Christopher : born at Richmond. School : there, 
under Mr Bathurst 6 years ; under Mr Pickard, J year. Admitted pensioner 
under Mr Scott 23 June 1627. Age 16. 
B.A. 1631/2 The father was probably the Recorder of Richmond, matr. 
here 1596. Apparently the man who with Alex. Hatfield (1628) and Will. 
Clopton (1628) appears on the list of the seven senior Fellows of Trin. College 
Dublin, who (we must suppose on Provost Chappell's nomination) were 
appointed by Wentworth between 1637 and 1639, in addition to John 
Harding and Thomas Marshall already appointed. See Mahaffy, Epoch in 
Irish History p. 252 : and above under Will. Chappell.

399

Jackson, Peter; (1629) son of Richard; born at Holm, Westmoreland. School Kirkby, Lonsdale. Admitted siz March 26, 1629 age 27 (b. Abt 1602) (Other notes).

Jackson, Peter : son of Richard : born at Holm, Westmoreland. School : Kirkby 
Lonsdale. Admitted sizar under the Master 26 March 1629. Age 27 [sic]. 
B.A. 163|. Ordained deacon, York, Sept. 1632. Possibly P.C. of 
Plumpton near Penrith (Earwaker, 1. 100). One Peter Jackson became vicar 
of Brafferton, Yorks. 27 Dec. 1662: one died rector of Womersley, Yorks. 
before Feb. 1667/8.

419

 
Otway, Thomas: son of George: born at Alderbury, Wilts. School: Winchester, under Mr Stanley. Admitted sizar under Mr Tovey 13 June 1632. 
Age 15. 
B.A. 1635/6|; M.A. 1639 ; D.D. of Trinity College, Dublin. His father was 
George Otway (mat. 1596), who was probably himself son of Tho. Otway of 
Middleton in Westmoreland : George Otway (the Fellow of 1554) belongs to the 
preceding generation. Tho. Otway was chaplain to Sir Ralph Hopton, the 
royalist leader : was imprisoned in the Civil War and sent to the West Indies. 
After the Restoration he was rector of St Botolph, Billingsgate June 1663-64, 
and rector of Etchingham, Sussex, 4 June 1664-70. He went to Ireland in 1670 
with the Lord Lieutenant, John Lord Berkeley — and was promptly made 
Bishop of Killala (not Killaloe) 16 Nov. 1670 : ten years later he was trans- 
lated to Ossory 29 Jan. 1680/1. He adhered to James II at the Revolution of 
1688, and was almost suspended after the battle of the Boyne for having left 
his clergy free to pray for either king. Though still in theory acknowledging 
King James he sat in King William's House of Lords in 1692 : probably 
William thought it needless to disturb the old man. He died 6 Mar. 1692/3, 
aged 77. He left £500 to the College to found Scholarships with preference 
(1) to Kirkby Lonsdale, (2) to Sedbergh School. D.N.B. (but not all right). 
This £500 he left in the hands of his cousin (of St John's College) Sir 
John Otway of Ingmore Hall, who died shortly after him. He also left £200 
and his books to establish a library for St Canice's Cathedral, Kilkenny, 
stipulating that the library should have desks and shelves " and chaines for 
every particular booke.' 
When about to be translated to the Bishopric of Ossory objection was taken 
to him on the ground that while Bishop of Killala he "had hanged a tory 
without any trial." 
NOTE: There is likely a familial relationship to Dorothy OTWAY, wife of Richard JACKSON (1602-1680/81). I suspect he would be a cousin.

442

 
Otway, Edward : son of John : born at St Neots. School : Kirkby Lonsdale, 
under Mr Carr. Admitted sizar under the Master [3 May] 1636. Age 16. 
B.A. 16f J. Not discoverable for 20 years later : but probably the rector 
of Stondon Massey, Essex (called M.A.) 22 Aug. 1660 : and also by dis- 
pensation of Munden, Essex (distant 16 miles) 11 May 1674: both of these 
benefices he held till his death in 1690 or 1691. He was doubtless akin to 
the elder Edward Otway (matrt. 1581) afterwards vicar of Braughing, Herts.

452

 
Litherland, Roger : son of William, farmer : born at Colston Basset, Notts. 
Admitted at Pembroke Hall sizar 13 June 1637 : at Christ's, sizar under 
Mr More 7 April 1639. Age 16. 
B.A. 1642/3. Employed in 1650 (as reported by the Parlit. Commissioners 
in 1650) to discharge the cure of Colston Basset, Notts, at the cost of the very 
aged rector (Roger Jackson, adm. 1584) "the said Mr Litherland preachinge 
once every lords day and sometimes twice" (Godfrey, Hundred of

John William Henry became the eighth Baronet in 24th January 1879 and died on the 5th March 1879, having held the title and estates for less than six weeks. His son John Charles was educated at Cambridge and, like his father, took Holy Orders in the Church of England, thus being the Rev. Sir John Charles Molyneux, ninth Baronet. Although he would have had little time to spend in Ireland he retained the family estates with an estimated income of £10,000 per annum.
