==Biographical synthesis==
John Fackman (alt. Johannes Kakeman) (b. ca. 1626; d. ?). Shipwright ("naupegus").

One of the company of the ship the ''Peter'' and (it appears) carpenter on board the ship the ''Peter'', on a voyage from London to Ireland to Lisbon, with an opportunity then for Brazil.<ref>[[HCA 13/63 f.190r Annotate|HCA 13/63 f.190r]]</ref>

Resident in 1650 in Wapping in the parish of Stepney.

==Evidence from High Court of Admiralty==
Twenty-four year old John Fackman deposed on May 15th 1650 in the High Court of Admiralty. He was examined on an allegation on behalf of Dobbins in the case of "Baker against Dobbins".<ref>[[HCA 13/63 f.189r Annotate|HCA 13/63 f.189r]]</ref>

The case concerned the hiring of Stephen Robbinson, the ship's chirurgion, by Mr Joseph Dobbins, master of the ship the ''Peter''. Stephen Robinson was an apprentice, with his master, Mr Baker, remaining back in London.<ref>[[HCA 13/63 f.190r Annotate|HCA 13/63 f.190r]]</ref> The case was thus brought by Mr Baker, Stephen Robinson's chirurgion master, against Joseph Dobbins, master of the ship. Dobbins had retained the chirurgion's chest of Robinson after Robinson had remained in Lisbon and failed to return to London on Dobbins' ship. The voyage was from London to Ireland and then to Lisbon. Supposdly Robinson, together with the rest of the ship's company agreed to go on the suggested Brazil voyage.<ref>[[HCA 13/63 f.189r Annotate|HCA 13/63 f.189r]]</ref>

At Lisbon Stephen Robinson lacked money and was furnished with money and other necessaries by Mr Dobbins. Moreover, "dureing the said voyage the said Robinson did take up and borrowe of and from the Companie of the said ship the ''Peter'' dureing the said voyage several summes of Money, and in particular the somm of 2 ''li'' mentioned in the 2d schedule to the allegation annexed which hee had and borrowed of Samuell Woodward this deponents matte abord the said shippe".<ref>[[HCA 13/63 f.189r Annotate|HCA 13/63 f.189r]]</ref> Fackman reported that Robinson "did take up five Millreys at the Brazeill which were this deponents and his mates".<ref>[[HCA 13/63 f.190v Annotate|HCA 13/63 f.190v]]</ref>

Robinson's behavipour was allegedly disgraceful. He wasted medicaments which were for the use of the crew. He did "very frequently and comonly lye drincking and diceing ashore and did notonly make away with such things as belonged to his Office and imployment but did allsoe sell away his clothes to mainteyne himselfe in the said Idle courses." At Brazil Robinson was seldom aboard the ship, requiring the Master to borrow a chirurgion from another ship. In an act of poetic justice "the said Robinson by such his disorderly carriage and useage of himselfe did fall into a fitt of sicknesse, and dureing that tyme hee saith the said Dobbins was forced to procure the said Chirurgeon of another ship both to doe the said Robbins busines abord the said ship and likewise to attend him ashore for severall weeks together". Recovering his health, Robinson then put himself into the service of the Portuguese in Brazil, and persuaded the Governor of Regeneere in Brazil to summon Mr Dobbins ashore to pay Robinson's wages from Dobbins. Dobins informed the Governor that Robinson was an apprentice, and the Governor then sent Robinson back on board ship under armed guard.<ref>[[HCA 13/63 f.189v Annotate|HCA 13/63 f.189v]]</ref>

On their arrival back in Lisbon, Robinson spent three months ashore. John Fackman claimed that, the better to desert the ship (and to be paid his wages and collect his clothes and chest), Robinson turned Roman Catholic and had the Lisbon authorities arrest the ship the ''Peter''. Dobson was only able to get his ship freed from arrest by giving security to Robinson to send his chest and clothes ashore and to pay such wages as the Lisbon Court should award.<ref>[[HCA 13/63 f.190v Annotate|HCA 13/63 f.190v]]</ref>
