• Notes

  This marriage has been picked as most sensible based on ages etc. There is an Agnes BATTIISHILL, his cousin who could be his wife, but the age difference is greater, and marrying cousins was of course frowned on (or worse), so the Agnes picked here seems more likely. There is also a marriage in South Tawton between John Jackman and Susannah TRIMLETT in 1737, which is taken to be that of John Jackman, his nephew, b1716. Allocating children is more complicated since the vicar did not put down the names of the mother - but it is assumed that the earlier children are those of this John. Certainly there is a Susanna Jackman in 1743 which is most likely to the nephew. Similarly there is a John in 1745, but there is no evidence that John, the son of this John, b1731, had died, so the later John is assumed to be linked to John and Susannah. There is a lot of suggestion on the internet trees that this John married again (though clearly a marriage to Anne Splatt is wrong), but again this is not supported by the available evidence of the only sensible Agnes dieing in 1774. Lastly there is a marriage in Spreyton with a John Jackman to Mary MIDDLETON on 21/4/1755, but that is for people living in that parish, and although close, is assumed to be a different John.
