In the footnotes of this deed I have tucked some rather far fetched bits that may or may not prove to be connected to our JACKSON family line. The most interesting part to me is the fact of a JACKSON in County Carlow divesting himself of land at a time that would fit the family story. Clearly, more work is required.

[1] James LECKY: SOURCE: http://www.ballykealeymanorhotel.com/history.htm Apart from Ballykealey

and Kilnock, the family had homes at various periods at Staplestown, where they first settled in county

Carlow, the location of a mill run by Robert Lecky; Kilmeany, Rathrush and Newgardens, near Carlow

town. In his will of June 1707, Robert left his son John Lecky one gold guinea, and his interest in land at

Kilnock; his sons James and John got equal shares in Ballykealey. "To my cousin Alexander Lecky his

house and garden and free grazing of six callops of cattle on the land of Conoborough; £3 to the poor of

Friends at Newsgardens Monthly meeting. £20 to the poor people in the neighborhood of Ballykealey. To

my three daughters, Dorothy, Jean and Rebecca, £600 between them , provided they marry with consent of

executors and trustees. My son James to build a dwelling house upon the lands at Rathrush for my wife

Mary to dwell in." It was Mary, one of the Quaker Watson family, who persuaded her husband to join the Society of Friends.
