Jacksons of Broughton Grange

Here I have done my best to convert Jim Watson's family trees into content that can make sense and be searchable on the internet.

The family tree begins with Robert Jackson of Wilton Manor, father of William

1st generation   
William Jackson & Dorothy.   William Jackson was a son of Robert Jackson of Wilton.

2nd generation 
William Jackson & Ann
Robert Jackson & Hannah Blacky

3rd generation 
Dorothy Jackson's children
Henry Harper & Mary Sylvester


1st generation: William Jackson & Dorothy

• William Jackson (bur 7 June 1658) marr Dorothy (bur 13 Apr 1685).  Children: Jane, William, Richard, Margery & Robert
• Jane Jackson (b c.1641), marr William Harrison
• William Jackson (bap 5 May 1644, bur 20 Nov 1673), marr abt 1669 *Ann.  Children: Ann & Dorothy
• Ann Jackson (bap 24 Jan 1670, d 1742) marr on 17 June 1690 Charles Tracey (d between years 1714 & 1727).  Child: see below
• Dorothy Jackson (bap 20 Mar 1672, d 1718).  Marr firstly on 18 June 1691 John Harper (1674-94).  Marr secondly abt 1698 Clement Sadler (d between 1700 & 1704).  Marr thirdly abt 1704 William Lee (bap 18 Mar 1673, d1727 .  Children: see below
• Richard Jackson (b abt 1650, bur 21 Oct 1673)
• Margery Jackson (bap 3 July 1653, bur 16 Apr 1678)

*Ann, widow of William Jackson, marr secondly abt 1681 Edward Edwards & had children: Ann Edwards (bur 10 May 1681); Edward Edwards (bap 21 Oct 1677); and Dorothy Edwards (bap 21 Oct 1680)

The above is based on Robert Jackson’s submission of his claim against his niece Anne Tracey et al, all the children of William and Dorothy Jackson who were alive when father William died are displayed in this family tree.  

It has to be presumed that the Edwards children shown were born before the marriage of Edward  Edwards to Ann Jackson née unknown

2nd generation: William Jackson & Ann

The family of William Jackson (bap 5 May 1644, bur 20 Nov 1673) who married in about 1670 Ann (d 1715).  Children: Ann & Dorothy

2. Dorothy Sadler/Lee (b abt 1701, bur 13 May 1773) marr on 3 Mar 1738 Charles Pember (d 1750/1) (who had married firstly on 25 Feb 1730 Ann Sebbon, bur 3 Mar 1736)

The data concerning the Lee children has been partly compiled from data drawn from various Bills of Complaint and Defendant’s answers in the cases between Robert Jackson and Henry Harper et al.  This has confirmed that Dorothy was the daughter of Clement Sadler and Dorothy Harper née Jackson, and the subsequent six of Dorothy’s children are inserted in order of birth.  

Note: Some apparent incompatibility of dates is the result of New Year’s day being the 25th of  March.
