John Jackson married by about 1637 Katherine _____.
They had 4-6 children: a daughter, another daughter, (probably) Hannah Averill, a son, another daughter, & (possibly) Deborah.
She married (2) by 26 September 1648 William White.
In 1914 Clara A. Avery proposed that the Hannah Jackson who married in Ipswich on 31 July 1661 William Averill was a daughter of this John Jackson. This may be, and we have accepted this identification tentatively above, but some caution is in order.
The only other vital records in seventeenth-century Ipswich are two marriages which took place before that cited just above. On 13 April 1658, Elizabeth Jackson married James How and, on 5 May 1658, Mary Jackson married Isaac Foster. These might also have been claimed as daughters of John Jackson, since there is no other Ipswich family of the surname in which they can be placed, were it not for the well-documented fact that they were both daughters of William Jackson of Rowley.
This Rowley connection may be of interest, however. Although William Jackson did not have a daughter Hannah who might have married William Averill, he did have a daughter Deborah who married in Rowley on 14 May 1662 John Trumbull. Just a year after this marriage, on 11 May 1663, a Deborah Jackson joined William White (who had married the widow of John Jackson) as a witness to an agreement involving Ipswich residents. These must be distinct women of the same name, but we have tentatively placed the latter as a daughter of John Jackson. If in fact John Jackson and William Jackson both bestowed this relatively unusual name on daughters at about the same time, then there may be some relationship.
Finally, when the surname Jackson does begin to reappear in Ipswich early in the eighteenth century, the new arrivals are mostly from Rowley, and are grandsons of Nicholas Jackson of that town. This may all be just coincidence, but it is worthy of further investigation.
