Disputed origins

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Jackson-631

The most recently published research on Edward Jackson (2023) asserts that he was baptized at St Dunstans, Stepney, London, on 3 February 1604[/5] and that he was the son of Christopher Jackson, tailor, of Bednal Green, London, and Susan Johnson.[1][2] However, this is assumption is almost certainly incorrect. Edward's headstone says he was "aged 79 years & 5 mons Dec'd June ye 17 1681", so he was probably born in England in early 1602. Edward was known to have been a nail-maker, living in Whitechapel parish, London, before he went to America.[1]
