There are some good clues here, but probably also some red herrings. Since this material is unsourced, I approach it with caution.
First, the son "John" JACKSON b 1624 may very well turn out to be a "Robert". This conjecture of mine is based on a deed (that I only have my notes of - I have not transcribed it):
DEED: 25-57-13497 1714 Dec 13: Between John JACKSON of Ballyreagan, Co. Of Dorone Gent. Of 1st part & Thomas JACKSON of same, Gent of the other part... refers to a 1 Nov 1677 deed between James ROSSE of the one pt. & the said John JACKSON lands of Ballyreagan formerly possessed by John DENHAM & all land of Ballyreagan formerly possessed by Robert JACKSON father of said John JACKSON, Parish Dundonald, Co. Dorone ... Thomas JACKSON. WITNESS James RATCLIFFE of Belfast, Co. Antrim, clothier; Andrew WALKER of Dundonald, Co. Down, yeoman; Richard LOWDER of Belfast, Gent. Thomas JACKSON [SEAL]
Second: The ancestry of President Andrew JACKSON is not proven and others have created trees that show his grandfather to be named Hugh.

NOTE: See also 1711 Deed of James JACKSON - who was likely the unnamed son of "John".
