William Jackson was an English privateer who, based in Guanaja and Roatan, was in the service of the Providence Island Company from 1639 until around 1641. During that year, he captured a Spanish slave ship at the Honduran port of Trujillo and received a ransom of 8,000 pounds of indigo as well as 2,000 pieces-of-eight and two gold chains. Leaving the Providence Island Company, he sailed to England, where he sold sugar and indigo to obtain supplies for another privateering expedition and. Upon receiving a three-year letter of marque from the Earl of Warwick, he set sail in 1642 in command of a fleet including such prominent privateers as Samuel Axe, William Rous and Lewis Morris.
