| 1718 June 11 * Given how early this Deed is, it may connect to the William OLIVER of Mullitur. The Deed is between George JOHNSTON of “Ballynameta” also known as Wood Park, situated in the Parish of Tynan, Co. Armagh and William OLIVER of Lislooney (also in the Parish of Tynan). It is likely significant that a century later, a Benjamin OLIVER was a freeholder of Lislooney. Other names of likely significance: William, Francis & John SCOTT and John HAMILTON. Footnotes updated. | March 8, 2007 December 12, 2007 |
| 1723, January 21 - referring also to July 15, 1715 This Deed involves the transfer of land from a Thomas JACKSON, a merchant of the City of Dublin to a James LECKY. The land in question is in the townland of Rathcrogue, Co. Carlow. Although hunches may prove to be red herrings, this may still turn out to be one of the missing links to the JACKSONs who preceed our last known relative, George JACKSON (1718-1782). | February 13, 2006 |

| 1770 February It is likely that the William OLIVER who was a solicitor in Dublin is the brother of Isabella OLIVER who married Andrew DILLWORTH and that Andrew DILLWORTH is possibly a brother of Sarah DILLWORTH - both of them children of James DILLWORTH of Mullaghrivey, Co. Tyrone [probably: Mullaghcreevy, Parish of Donaghmore]. (see: HENRY WILLIAM OLIVER 1807-1888:His Descendants by Henry Oliver Rea).

| 1770 April 19 Indenture agreement concerning the lower part of Liscalgot It is alleged that the JACKSON family was at Liscalgot and/or the neighbouring townland of Urker from 1720 onwards. That may be so, but at present this is the oldest documented evidence that I have seen myself. It represents a lease on the southern portion of Liscalgot. It is helpful to look at the Map of Liscalgot in order to get oriented. This agreement is between John JOHNSTON & George & David JACKSON. | June 29, 2006 |

| 1785 November 11 Deed relating to William Breakey This could relate to the William BREAKEY who married Mary Scott and lived at Drumskelt House built in 1717, or it could relate to a son.

| 1787 & 1791 Rents paid by Andrew & John COULTER & Samuel BRADFORD The obvious mystery still for me here is how does John COULTER fit in? Solving this may well link the Cavananore COULTER family with the Carnbeg family (or not). | June 6, 2005 |

| 1796 January 23 - Will of David Jackson It seems that David JACKSON had come some way up in the world from his father's ruputedly meagre beginnings and was a maltster as well as man with many leases on diverse properties. Unfortunately, as he died a mere three weeks after writing this will and there were complications for his wife and children (who were all minors). | June 30, 2006 |
| Case Opinion by William SAURIN Esq Legal suits ensued after the death of David JACKSON and I have posted this part of a lawyer's opinion that had been sought at the time (1796). Many subsequent letters from his brother George JACKSON also shed light on these events. | June 30, 2006 |

| 1799 February 16 This letter from solicitor and family member George JACKSON of Dublin is instructing his nephew, the teenage John JACKSON on how to proceed with Court challenges to his father's assets after his father's demise. In this case, it concerns Cavananore and involves the COULTER & BRADFORD families (which means it may also involve the OLIVER family too through the Thomas BRADFORD connection). John's father, David JACKSON, died in1796 when his only son was a mere 16 years old. | June 30, 2006 |

| 1801 July 2 - Will of Elizabeth McCullagh of Derryvalley One of the interesting aspects of this will is that it shows how long the family was rooted in Ulster - in this case at Derrivalley, Co. Monaghan. Elizabeth McCULLAGH was one of the great-great grandmothers of Sir Thomas JACKSON. BRADFORD family connections are also revealed. | November 4, 2003 |

September 25 This
Memorial concerns properties relating to Anne OLIVER’s marriage to Samuel
ELGEE of Rochvale, Co. Monaghan. At present I believe she is the daughter of
David OLIVER & Susannah WALKER of Ballyrea, Co. Armagh. The marriage settlement
is with her brothers Joseph & Benjamin OLIVER. The William OLIVER of Laragh
who witnesses the agreement is also likely her brother. Since the properties
involve lands in Dundalk, I suspect a connection to Charles ELGEE of Dundalk
and hence to one of his daughter, Jane Frances ELGEE mother of Oscar WILDE.

| 1805 August 21 This Deed is mentioned in HENRY WILLIAM OLIVER 1807-1888:His Descendants by Henry Oliver Rea. James OLIVER Sr. was born in 1750 and had three sons: Stephen, James & William (all mentioned in the deed). On 31 December 1790, James OLIVER Sr. had leased this land from William IRVINE and apparently transferred it to his son William OLIVER (b. abt 1780) who was farming at "Six Mile Cross" - about six miles from Tattykeel, Co. Tyrone. At the time, both Stephen OLIVER and his father James OLIVER were resident at Corchoney. | October 29, 2006 |
| 1806 May 8 It may be that there are errors in my transcription since the language of this deed dated May 8, 1806 parallels that of Deed: 684-85-470424 dated May 8, 1807. I suspect they are the same leases. John PRINGLE of Caledon, Co. Tyrone has leased for 20 years the part of Killynure (shown in map) to Benjamin OLIVER of Ennislare, Co. Armagh who is also expected to grind all his grain at Lisbanoe, Co. Armagh. OTHER NAMES: William CARSON, Robert McCADAM; John DOBBIN. | October 28, 2006 |

DOBBIN, Thomas APPLEBY, William BROTHER[S], Robert LIVINGSTON. See also: OLIVERs of Ballinahonebeg. There are several leases involving the OLIVER family and John PRINGLE. This lease concerns lands in The Kennedies and a lease between Joseph OLIVER and Joseph LEE. It is likely connected to the lease on May 8, 1807 involving various other OLIVERs. |
March 7, 2007 |
| 1807 May 8_John Pringle James Oliver Not being a lawyer, I don't pretend to understand all the language, but clearly the OLIVER family were at Enagh in 1807 and likely also at Killynure where the family lived for more than another hundred years. Also, the DOBBIN connection is there in small measure.John PRINGLE of Caledon, Co. Tyrone leased Killynure & Enagh to Benjamin OLIVER of Ennislare, Co. Armagh for the yearly rent of £43.10.0. WITNESSES: Leonard DOBBIN & Arthur HUGHES. SEE notes below: 1815 January 16 | May 31, 2005. |

| 1810 April 7th "Certificate for Killing Game" This document reveals that the primary abode for John JACKSON (1780-1817) at this time was Liscalgot (at least as far as officialdom was concerned). At the time of his death, some 7 years later, it was Urker. | July 20, 2006 |
| 1811 April 8 * John OLIVER of Tullymore leased some lands of Tullymore to Samuel OLIVER of Town & County of Monaghan for ₤100. This is especially interesting because of the mention of a Samuel OLIVER in the registry of 1st Ballybay Church, the church where David JACKSON & Eliza OLIVER were married in 1838.

Inventory of the possessions of John JACKSON of Urker John JACKSON of Urker died at age 37 leaving his wife, Elizabeth McCULLAGH at age 25 with four young children. The youngest child and only male was David JACKSON, age 3 who would later inherit the farm and go on to father ten children, one of whom would become Sir Thomas JACKSON. There is also mention of money owed by McCULLAGHs - which may have been the start of an ongoing intergenerational legal tiff. |

| 1845 Will of Archibald BrownThis will represents my first steps in trying to situate some of the Ballybay BROWNE connections to the rest of the family tree. Of interest, is another document that I will soon transcribe involving the sale of lands in Ednafirkin in 1880 relating to the estate of John Wallace McCULLAGH. It mentions a William and a James BROWN as tenants adjacent to the McCULLAGH holdings at Ednafirkin. NAMES: Archibald BROWNE and his children: William, John, Archibald, Benjamin, Robert, Samuel and Eliza Jane; Witnesses John McCLATCHIE & William JAMIESON. TOWNLANDS: Ednafirkin, Co. Monaghan; Tullywalter AKA Tullywaltry, Co. Cavan & Drumcondia, Co. Cavan | July 1, 2008 |

| 1847 - Will of Andrew Coulter Bradford This also includes a case brought by Barbara Donaldson after the fact. This is a most interesting case. Barbara Donaldson was the sister of Andrew Coulter Bradford, both of them children of Thomas Bradford & Elizabeth Breakey. Not all the Trustees appointed to deal with A.C. Bradford’s will had wanted to follow through with their duties and the upshot was that J.B. Gillmer was left holding the bag. He then decided on his own to let Bradford’s niece Mary Jane Oliver and sister Margaret Bradford continue to live on the property rather than selling everything off. This meant that those who had inherited annuities (hence Barbara Donaldson) were getting short shrift. The advantage also went to his niece Sally McCullogh wife of Thomas McCullogh of Dunraymond since she still received the bequeathed interest on a bond of £1,100 owed by her husband even though the annuities bequeathed to others were being left unpaid. It was even more galling that the value of the assets were quite probably diminishing due to mismanagement. | November 28, 2003 A missing paragraph was added June 20, 2005 |

1888 May 4 Will of David JACKSON This David JACKSON was the father of Sir Thomas JACKSON. Although in the middle of the 1800s he had times when he couldn't come up with the rent, by the time of his death, things had turned around - I suspect largely due to the efforts of his wife and the support of his children. |
