This officer entered the Navy, 5 Feb. 1799, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Fame, Lieut.-Commander Witherston, lying in Portsmouth Harbour. In March, 1801, he joined the Vengeance 74, Capt. Geo. Duff; and in that ship, until paid off in July, 1802, he served in the Baltic, Bay of Biscay, and West Indies. He re-embarked, in March, 1806, as Midshipman, on board the Edgar 74, bearing the flag at first of Lord Keith in the Downs, and afterwards commanded in the Baltic by Capt. Jas. Macnamara, with whom he continued until removed, in May, 1809, to the Antelope 50, Capt. Donald M‘Leod, fitting for the flag of Vice-Admiral John Holloway, Commander-in-Chief at Newfoundland, where he was soon invested with the rank of Lieutenant, and appointed, in that capacity, to the Comet sloop, Capt. Rich. Henry Muddle. On leaving the latter vessel (to which he had been confirmed by commission dated 11 Dec. 1810) Lieut. Jackson, in the early part of 1812, joined the Valiant 74, Capt. Robt. Dudley Oliver, lying at Portsmouth, and Herald 18, Capts. Geo. Jackson and Clement Milward, employed on the West India station. After serving for a short time in the Argo 44, bearing the flag at Jamaica of Rear-Admiral Wm. Brown, he became, in the autumn of 1814, Acting-Commander of the Shark receiving-ship at Port Royal. On his return to the West Indies in April, 1815, in the Warrior 74, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral John Erskine Douglas, he rejoined the Shark, commanded at the time by Capt. Houston Stewart, and next by Capt. Alex. Campbell and himself. In Nov. of the same year and Feb. 1816 he was successively nominated to the acting-command of the Carnation 16, and Emulous 16; the latter of which sloops he brought home and paid off in June, 1816. He was not, however, officially promoted until 12 Aug. 1819; since which period he has not held any appointment.
