Tom,
I don't know if what I have this William Jackman, but my father has a Jackman family bible dated from around 1848. In it a William Jackman is spoken of. It states that he came to America in 1848 and settled near Syracuse, N.Y. The rest of the family went to Ohio. Though the family tree is not easy to make out, the bible does list a brother named James. I do beleive that their father is a Thomas Jackman born Jan 5th, 1797, in the parish of North Tawton, Devonshire County, England. (This is my best interpretation of the bible.) Hope this may help.
