• Notes

  It is not clear what happened to John. There are no burials in North Tawton, so it is assumed that he grew to adulthood. There is a record of a John Jackman being apprenticed to a Mercer (dealer in fabrics, generally fine fabrics), Edward GOSTWYCK in North Tawton in 1780. Although 22 seems quite old, there are no other John Jackmans born in the near vicinity after this John, so it is at least a possibility. There is a possible marriage in Okehampton in 1798, but no particular reason to assume it is this John, There is a burial in Brushford (5 miles from N. Tawton) in 1783. This is perhaps the most likely....
