According to John O Goodman (2020)

“Elizabeth Jackson’s parents were: Lewis Jackman & Elizabeth Nansogg.”

“The story told to me by my father was as follows: Several generations ago (perhaps 300 or more years ago) an only son of a wealthy member of the Lampier family eloped with a servant working in his father's household in France and stole the family jewels in order to finance his escape to England. His father did not want him to marry the servant. Later after his father had died, the man who eloped (or perhaps his son) returned to France to claim the family property. However, the French church in which the birth and marriage records of his father were deposited had been burnt and all the documents lost. Thus he was told by French authorities that he could not inherit the property because there was no proof that he was a descendant of the owner. I don't know the name of the village or city in northern France (or possibly in Belgium) that the Lampshire family came from. It would be near impossible to check for records of fires in a church several centuries ago. In any case the story may not even be true. I do know that my father told the story several times when I was a teenager but it is at best anecdotal evidence.

Ancestry.com quotes from the Netherlands Death Index 1795-1969 making Elisabeth de Kielder the wife of Michael Lampier (my 9th great-grandfather) rather than Elizabeth Jackman (1600-1681). However they could be two different names for the same person. Another problem is that at least 4 generations of Lampshires had the given name Michael or a variant thereof. This presents difficulties for correct identification of ancestors or their wives. So why did the Lampier family migrate to Cornwall from northern France or Belgium. Elizabeth de Kielder may have been the servant in my father’s story. She may have been Dutch and may have been a Protestant which could have angered Lampier’s father who may have been a Catholic. This is of course speculation which could explain why they stole the jewels and eloped. Maybe she took on the name Jackman when she reached Cornwall. You have to bear in mind of course that the story may not be true at all. There are too many uncertainties in this story. “
