 Deacon John JacksonBorn 06 Jan 1602 at London, Greater London, England, United Kingdom St Dunstans, died 30 Jan 1675 at Newton, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States, age 73 years May have had two prior wives that died in England. Some say he came over from England on the "Defence" in 1635, others say he immigrated on the Blessing July 13, 1635. Several different sources suggest he was amoung the first to settle an area outside Cambridge, MA, then called Cambridge Villiage and later incorporated as Newton, MA. John Jackson's purchase of 18 acres of land and a dwelling house in what was then Cambridge Village, now Newton, MA, was the first viable settlement of that town. He is alleged to have brought a "good estate" with him from England. He bought the property from Miles Ives of Watertown, situated on the Roxbury road, very near the line which divided Newton from Brighton in 1854. He took the Freeman's oath in 1641 and was one of the first Deacons of the church. He gave one acre of land for the church and cemetery, upon which the first meeting house was erected in 1660 and which is the oldest part of what was the Centre Cemetery in 1854. His old home was pulled down about 1800, on land occupied by Edwin Smallwood in 1854. He was a proprietor of the Cambridge lands and, in the division of 1662, he had 3 acres, in 1664 he had 30 acres. In the division of the Billerica lands in 1652 he had 50 acres. He petitioned the General Court and others to have Cambridge Village esablished as a separate town, but died before this was accomplished. At his death, he owned 863 acres of land. His estate was settled by agreement among the surviving children in Dec. 1676. He was 73 years of age at his death, based upon the baptismal record, but it's not known how old he was when baptized. This may have been the John Jackson, "wholesale man in Burchen Lane," age 30, who immigrated on the ship "Defense" from London 6 July, 1635. This man's certification was provided from Sir George Whitmore and "minister of ye parish." (See "Register," Vol 14, pg. 319 for passenger list.)
