Footnotes

  • 1. Le Neve-Hardy says that Jackson res. in 1633, and gives in error Charles White as coll. 25 Apr. 1633, William Dunkyn 4 March 1639, and Richard Culmer 21 Oct. 1644. White and Culmer were sixpreachers of Canterbury cath. (P.R.O., E 331 Cant./203; Reg. 27 f. 276v), and Dunkyn was probably one also. Moreover, Thomas Jackson was explicitly stated to be the predecessor of William Belke in Reg. Z f. 205v. Jackson is not to be confused with the Oxford graduate of the same name who was preb. of Winchester, president of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and a notable theologian, and d. 21 Sept. 1640. The Canterbury Jackson was a Cambridge man, and occ. as senior preb. of Canterbury 20 Aug. 1644 (Reg. 27 f. 277).
