JACKSON.-The ancestry of the first two settlers of Cambridge and Newton, John and Edward Jackson. has been courteously supplied by a lineal descendant, Mr. Edward G. Jackson of St. Louis, Mo.
Christopher Jackson of Mile End, London, married Susan Johnson of Mile End, 5 Oct. 1602 (London Mairiages). He was bur. 5 Dec., 1633. Children: 1.John, bapt. 6 June 1603; m. (1) Abigail; m. (2) Margaret; d. 30 Jan. 1675. II. Edward, bapt. 3 Feb. 1605: m. (1) Frances; m. (2) Elizabeth Oliver, 14 Jan.1649; d. 17 June 1681. III. Miles, bapt. 28 June 1607. This list of Christopher's sons is copied from the "Register of St. Dunstau's Church, Stepney. His residence is first given as Mile End, afterwards as Bednall Green, and his occupation as merchant tailor. The date of John's baptism is evidently 1603, instead of 1602 as recorded in the Register. There is a good account of St. Dunstan's, Stepney, in Hare's Walks in London.
