Dear Jane,
So pleased to hear from you, and I am MOST interested in some collaboration on theses Jacksons!
However at present I'm travelling in Europe and don't have all my 'stuff' with me, so I will get back in touch as soon as I get home in a month or so time!
As we will have lots to trade, (says she hopefully!), perhaps we could do it via email?
I'm at gene2bearATgmailDOTcom
Looking forward to chatting
Best wishes

If you get in direct touch with the Topsham museum they may be able to help you. 
They have a large family history section, and some very dedicated and enthusiastic staff. 
I was most impressed when I visited recently (though sadly they couldn't produce the link for which I was searching).
BORCHARDT in Poland/Germany, BOSKOWITZ in Czechoslovakia, Hungary + Austria, BUSS in Baden, Germany + Switzerland, FEKETE in Hungary + Austria, GOTTHILF in Hammerstein + Berlin, GUBLER, GYSI, LABHARDT & RYCHNER in Switzerland, KONIG & KRONER in Germany, PLACZEK, WUNSCH & SILBERBERG in Poland.

Hello - it is interesting to see this post - I am searching for a William Jackson Esq who may have been at Trepassey with my ancestor Jonas Stone. William married a Mary Stone in East Budleigh, Devon in Dec 1776 and they too had a son named Gregory and James - there was a JP at Trepassey William Jackson at the same time as my people and the Mary Stone on a 1841 census at East Budleigh shows as born in a Foreign Place. I know the Jacksons at Trepassey were quite powerful merchants.
Stones and their kin from East Budleigh, Topsham, Littleham and area - Webber, Newman, Davy, Motty, Harvey etc

I came across this post in a search for my own ancestors, the Bartlett/Adams families of Marldon.  This lineage also includes Salters, Bickfords and Jackson's.  I believe you will find the following link very useful.  Inside the link there is also an abbreviation guide to help along with understanding the contents & deciphering the language contained within. The link is a list of over 7500 Names files, researched and documented by Dr. Keith Matthews.  You'll be interested to find your James Jackson has a name file.  You'll also find files for 10/12 of the names you've listed at the bottom of your post. The Jacksons were early visitors to Newfoundland and perhaps even settled there, travelling back and forth from England with other Merchants and Mariners of the day.  I hope you enjoy these name files as much as I do.  They are fantastic!  Happy Researching!

Sorry, I meant 7300 name files, not 7500.

Thank you for that link. It looks very useful, once you get the hang of the abbreviations! I've already tracked down one elusive Bartlett uncle there, who turns out to have died in Denmark.

I am also a Bartlett/Adams descendant, specifically from Elizabeth the daughter of William Bartlett and Ann Adams, born 1777.
