"was born 24 October 1725, probably in Yorkshire. He was the third but oldest surviving son of George Jackson (1687/8–1758) of Hill House, Richmond, Yorkshire, and Hannah, daughter of William Ward of Guisborough, Yorkshire."

So parents believed to be George Jackson and Hannah Ward with basic details of their children on this link as quoted above
