Jackson, William (1677-85)
Jackson, William, London(?), joiner and chairmaker (1677–85). On 26 February 1677 his app. Richard Blanchard was paid on his behalf £3 6s for seven cane chairs by William, 5th Earl of Bedford. On 23 March 1685/86 Lady Leigh paid a William Jackson £3 for a walnut table bed. It is possible that this maker may be the William Jackson who in 1702 and 1707 took out insurance on property in the parish of St Giles-in-the-Fields, London.
