George Jackson (MP)

George Jackson (MP)

Sir George Jackson (1725 – 1822), British politician, sat as a Member of Parliament (MP) at various times for Weymouth, Melcombe Regis, and Colchester. In addition he was Judge Advocate of the Fleet and was a friend and patron of Lt James Cook (later Captain). Cook named both Point Jackson in New Zealand, and Port Jackson in New South Wales after him.

He was proprietor of the Stort Navigation.

His second wife was Grace, daughter of George Duckett MP. In 1797 under the will of Thomas Duckett, Sir George assumed, by Royal Licence, the name and arms of that family, becoming Sir George Duckett, Bart.
