My Comments notes for Robert (Spouse 1)
There is substantal confusion as to whether Thomas Jackson married Mary Kemball who was therefore the Mary Jackson mentioned in John Kemball’s will or whether he married Mary Drysdell and was therefore the son-in-law of that name referred to in the will of Robert Drysdell. I believe the latter.

Robert Drysdell wrote his will 23 May 1704 and it proved 29 Jun 1704. He mentioned sons-in-law John Fisher and Thomas Jackson.
