[3] William JACKSON (abt 1575-1626)

• JACKSON. The Kirkby Lonsdale family of JACKSON acquired great wealth and owned much property in Ireland and in Kirkby Lonsdale including what is now the Royal Hotel and which was formerly called Jackson Hall; all this passed eventually to the NORTH family, of Newton Hall (q.v.). William Jackson, of Kirkby Lonsdale, mercer, was father of the Rev. Richard Jackson, M.A., Rector of Whittington, Lancs., from 1641-81, whose daughter Janet, or Jennet, married Oliver North, of Newton, in 1674, dying in 1729. He also had two sons, William Jackson, of Ireland, and the Rev. Leonard Jackson, Rector of Tatham. William's daughter Abigail, who married firstly William Buckley of Wennington Hall and secondly Sir Oliver Crofton, Bart., eventually succeeded to all the family property which passed on her death s.p. in 1763 to her cousin, Richard North, of Newton; he gave it to his grandson, Miles North, who resided at Jackson Hall (Pearson, Annals; Chippindall, Whittington).

·         PARENTS: Possibly: John JACKSON (1526-1590) and Helen WILKINSON (1538-1590)

• He was dead when his son Francis JACKSON's apprenticeship papers were signed. SEE: JACKSONs in the London Rolls: 1627.  Master: William GORE. Bond Value: Mary Jackson and Richard Jackson of same £300. Father: William JACKSON, deceased, mercer - Kirby Lonsdale, Westm, Westmorland. Apprentice: Francis JACKSON. Drapers. New Apprentice.
• His birth date is assumed as approximate and is based on the date of his marriage to Mary SLATER. Naturally, if one or more marriages preceded this, he may have been born earlier.
• QUESTION:  Was an Edward bur 1589 Kirkby Lonsdale , son of William?  I wonder if Edward was a brother of William the mercer and they are both sons of another William.

·         William JACKSON had extensive land holdings, not that I yet know the full extent of them. His son Rev. Richard JACKSON had holdings going from the marketplace by the New Road, down to the river. The current site of the Royal Hotel was likely where William JACKSON lived. It was held by his son Rev Richard JACKSON (1602-1679), and the Royal Hotel now stands approximately where Jackson Hall, the residence of this family, once stood. The last JACKSON family member associated with Jackson Hall was supposedly a Mrs. Ellen JACKSON in 1785. SOURCE: Victoria County History of Cumbria, Emmeline Garnett. NOTE: I have yet to track down who Mrs. Ellen JACKSON was. I have not ruled out that it might have been a Miss Ellen JACKSON. My hope is that deeds work in Ireland will lead me to the answer. The last person I know who held it was Abigail JACKSON (1683-1763). She died without surviving issue, and many of the family lands, including Jackson House in Kirkby Lonsdale, went to descendants of her cousin Richard NORTH (1684-1773).

Thomas WILKINSON, chapman, was seised of 2 messuages and tenements at Becksyde in Olde Hutton and 30 a. land there; a moiety of a fulling mill in Old Hutton; and a messuage and tenement at Ealingwraye in Old Hutton and 20 a. land there. By his writing dated 12 September, 12 James I (1614), made between Roger BRADLEY of Underbarrowe, chapman, of the one part and the said Thomas WILKINSON of the other part, in consideration of a marriage then to be solemnized between Giles BRADLEY, second son of the said Roger BRADLEY, and Mary, only daughter of the said Thomas WILKINSON, he granted to Roger BRADLEY that upon reasonable request he would make a conveyance to William JACKSON of Kirkby Lonsdale, mercer, Barnard GILPIN of Underbarrowe, yeoman, and James BRADLEY of Underbarrowe, clothier, and their heirs of all the aforesaid premises, to be limited to the use of the said Thomas WILKINSON and Elizabeth, then his wife, for their lives in survivorship and afterwards to the use of the said Giles BRADLEY, and his heirs begotten of the said Mary. And by another writing, in part performance of the agreement above specified, he enfeoffed William, Barnard and James of the premises; which were held of the king at the time of Thomas WILKINSON's death and are now held of Charles, prince of Wales, as of his manor of Kendall called "le Marques fee" in free socage namely by suit of court and a rent, worth yearly 20s. clear. He died 22 March 1614[-15] and Mary, now wife of Giles BRADLEY, was and is his daughter and next heir, now aged 25 years; Court of Wards Inq., p.m., vol. 64, n. 79.

·         I have written a couple of blog posts relating to the Royal Hotel (and I plan to write more):

o   Woof - Part One. Following up on the family of Richard JACKSON (1595-1680) of Westmorland. Link to Jackson Hall, Kirby Lonsdale, now known as The Royal Hotel, Photo of Jackson Hall aka Manor House in Coleraine;

o   Kirkby Lonsdale and the Royal Hotel. My bedroom at the Royal Hotel overlooks the Market Square. It used to be part of the gardens attached to a building that was known as Jackson Hall before it was sold and turned into the Rose and Crown. This was the property of Rev. Richard JACKSON (1602-1681). He bequeathed it to his eldest son, William JACKSON (1628-1688) of Coleraine.

[4] Mary SLATER

·       The name SLATER is often frequently mentioned in the Whittington Church Registers. MARRIAGE: License issued 1600, Bradford Keighley Paver's Marriage License. . He married Mary SLATER of Keighly, near Bradford, Yorkshire, England. Her family name is sometimes shown as SCLATER. See: Richard SCLATER of Keighley. Sclater of Yorkshire, Lancashire and Cambridgeshire. The earliest existing Sclater will is that of Richard Sclater, a farmer, who died at Keighley in 1545. SOURCE: Records of the Family of Sclater. His will was dated April 26, 1545. See also the footnote beneath for Edward WILSON with descriptions of the connections between the two families and others.

·    NOTE: In a will dated July 31, 1657 (and probated much later), a Sir Thomas SCLATER (1615-1684) referred to his cousin John JACKSON a citizen now or late of London [that he [Henery SCLATER] shall pay unto my cozin John Jackson now or late of London citizen one hundred pounds and fifty pounds. …. Also my will is that the bill penall made to mee from my Cozen John Jackson of London & Andrew Heateley may not bee prosecuted against my Cozen John Jackson if in law itt can be ordered soe that it may bee recovered of Mr. Heateley.], as well as a cousin John OTWAY of Gray’s Inn. SOURCE: P 384 Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica Vol 1. 1874. John OTWAY of Gray's Inn was most likely Sir John OTWAY (1620-1693), who was a reader at Gray’s Inn. He was also a half-brother of Dorothy OTWAY, the first wife of Rev. Richard JACKSON (1602-1681). The John JACKSON (1609-aft 1626) which the will also left a bequest for, was probably the younger brother of Rev. Richard JACKSON. I believe that this John JACKSON married Hellen SIDGEWICKE in 1641 in Kirkby-Lonsdale, but otherwise, I know nothing else about him. NOTE: Does this mean that Mary SLATER was a near relation of Sir Thomas SCLATER – possibly his aunt?

·       I would assume that Keighley was Mary SLATER's family home. Keighley was a textiles town, which may explain the connection to William JACKSON, a mercer of Kirkby Lonsdale.

·       She is mentioned as a relict in her husband's 1626 will probate.

·          His father, William JACKSON,was a mercer of Kirby Lonsdale – which may explain why Rev Richard JACKSON’s son William emigrated to Coleraine receiving grants of lands under the Clothworkers Estate.

He remained there till his death in 1680/1. He was twice married: his eldest daughter Marie, was baptised 2 Dec. 1642: between 1644 and 1646 his first wife died : and he married Jane Carter 26 Jan. 1647/8-, by whom he had four daughters and a son Leonard (admitted here 1668).

·         British History on line: Rector of Halton 1630'9641 (?). In 1640 the Bishop of Chester received a caveat, warning him not to present anyone to the rectory, vacant by the death of Daniel Meyre, except on the nomination of Dr. Thomas Fothergill, Master of St. John's Coll., Camb.; Act Bks. at Chester. Dr. Fothergill presented one who was instituted on 2 Nov. 1640 (Church Papers), but the name is illegible. It appears, however, that Dr. Fothergill, a fellow of St. John's, was himself presented by the University of Cambridge because Thomas Carus, the patron, had been convicted of recusancy about 1635. Fothergill alleged that the transfer of the patronage to Middleton was collusive; Duchy of Lanc. Plead, bdle. 365. Richard Jackson was presented on 16 Oct. 1640 by Edward Middleton of Middleton in Westmorland and again on 23 Jan. by William Middleton (as administrator of Edward), but was not instituted till 14 July. He compounded for first fruits on 15 July. The king also presented Jackson (12 July), 'by lapse,' no doubt for greater security. For the dispute see Pleas of Crown, 196/7. Mr. Jackson was a member of the Presbyterian Classis in 1646, and signed the 'Harmonious Consent' of 1648 as 'pastor at Whittington.' In 1650 he was commended as 'a godly preaching minister'; Commonw. Ch. Surv. 122. At the Restoration he conformed to Episcopacy and the Book of Common Prayer.

[6] Co. Westmorland. The historic county boundaries of Westmorland are with Cumberland to the north, County Durham and Yorkshire to the east, and Lancashire to the south and west. Hence, in some histories, the family is alleged to have come from Yorkshire or Lancashire - the boundaries at the time were somewhat flexible and not always exactly as we have them now.

[7] WHITTINGTON— not to be confused with Withington, near Manchester, nor Whittingham, near Preston — is a pretty village situate in extreme North-East Lancashire, about one-and- a-half miles from Kirkby Lonsdale. Its Church, dedicated to S. Michael, is known to have been in existence in the fourteenth century. Richard JACKSON became Rector of Whittington in 1641, July 26. The Parish of Whittington comprises 4,327 acres, including the townships of Newton, Docker, and Whittington, and contains a population of 339. The adjoining parishes on the Westmorland side are Burton and Kirkby Lonsdale, and on the Lancashire side Tunstall, Melling, and Warton. The Parish Registers share, with Whalley and Farnworth (near Widnes), the honour of commencing in 1538 — the year appointed by Vicar-General Cromwell.

·         MICHELBORNE, MITCHELBURN, or MICHELBURNE, JOHN (1647-1721), governor of Londonderry, son of Abraham Michelborne by his first wife, Penelope, daughter of John Wheeler of Droitwich (see BERRY, Sussex Genealogies, p. 50), was baptised on 8 Jan. 1647-8 at Horsted Keynes in Sussex. He was of an ancient family long settled there and at Stanmer, and Sir Richard Michelborne of Bradhurst was his grandfather. After serving under Percy Kirke [q. v.] at Tangier between 1680 and 1683, he had a major's commission from the Prince of Orange dated 5 Feb. 1689, and in the same month took part in the attempt on Carrickfergus. He commanded Skeffington's regiment of foot at Cladyford and during the siege of Londonderry. When Governor Baker fell ill on 17 June 1689 he deputed Mitchelburn to act for him, and at his death ten days later named him governor SOURCE: Dictionary of National Biography Vol. 37, p343-344 NOTE: I believe this publication is in error when it states: His second wife is believed to have been the daughter of another defender, Captain Michael Cunningham of Prehen, Londonderry.

·         Siege profiles Londonderry Colonel John Mitchelburne was Governor of Londonderry from June 30, 1689 until the end of the siege. When Major Baker died, Mitchelburne succeeded him as Governor. Mitchelburne gave expression to the defiance of the Londonderry's defenders by planting a crimson banner on one of the city's bastions in full sight of the enemy. Mitchelburne's "bloody flag" occupies a place of honour in unionist folklore and tradition. John Mitchelburne was born on January 2, 1648, and probably joined the army in the late 1660s, initially serving in the ranks. In 1678 he purchased a lieutenant's commission. He served in Lord Mountjoy's regiment under Colonel Lundy and was stationed at Londonderry, Kinsale and Dublin. In February 1689 he received a commission from William III and was involved in several military engagements in Ulster. By April 1689 he was in Londonderry where Major Baker gave him command of Colonel Clotworthy Skeffington's regiment in which he had served since February. In May he quarreled with Baker but acted as a pall bearer at Baker's funeral. He served as military governor until the end of the siege when Major General Kirk made him sole governor. He was also given a second regiment by Kirk which he amalgamated with his existing regiment. This regiment served at the Boyne and the first siege of Limerick. In 1691 Mitchelburne commanded the Williamite force sieging Sligo but was removed for quarrelling with Hugh Balderg O'Donnell, whose assistance was of dubious value. Sligo surrendered to the Earl of Granard in September 1691. Mitchelburne was made temporary governor of the city. Mitchelburne was in Londonderry in the 1690s and was elected an Alderman for life. During this period he produced three publications: An Account of the Transactions in the North of Ireland, anno Domini 1691, The Case of the Colonel John Mitchelburne, Late Governor of Derry and The case of the governor, officers and soldiers actually concerned in the defence of Londonderry in the Kingdom of Ireland. The latter two publications formed part of Mitchelburne's campaign to secure arrears in pay for his regiment. Unlike George Walker, Mitchelburne inexplicably received no reward for his role in the siege. The third pamphlet resulted in his temporary dismissal as an Alderman. Despite a 25-year campaign the officers and men of the garrison were never paid. It was calculated that they were owed £195,091 in wages and another £138,349 for the purchase of arms and property damaged by the enemy. Mitchelburne spent the remainder of his life in Londonderry. In 1709 on one of his visits to London he was imprisoned for debt in the Fleet, which prompted the production of The Danger and Folly of Being Public-Spirited. The Apprentice Boys Association and its celebrations owe much to Mitchelburne who organised siege commemorations until his death. In 1692 Mitchelburne organised the first commemoration service and on that occasion placed captured French flags in the Cathedral. In 1713 he placed a memorial inscription at the east window of the cathedral. The following year he founded the first Apprentice Boys club. Mitchelburne died on October 1, 1721. In accordance with his own wishes, Mitchelburne was buried along side his comrade Adam Murray in Glendermott Old Churchyard. He left £50 in his will for the purpose of maintaining a crimson flag on the steeple. Mitchelburne was the first individual Defender of Londonderry after whom a Club was named to commemorate the defence and relief of Londonderry. A representative body of citizens met at his tomb to pay tribute to his memory.

·         Governor Mitchelburn.'97 Friday, 2lst June. Governor Baker had been ill from the beginning of June. His disease proved to be a fever, and from the middle of the month it became certain that he would not recover. On the 21st a council of war was called, in order to choose a successor. Two officers were sent to the house where he lay ill, to ask his opinion. The dying Governor, without hesitation, named Colonel Mitchelburn as the most suitable man. Mitchelburn was grandson of Sir Richard Mitchelburn, of Brodhurst Stanmer, in Sussex, and before coming to Derry had taken part in the ineffectual attempt to capture Carrickfergus and afterwards to prevent the Jacobite army from crossing the Bann. At an early part of the siege, in consequence of some suspicion attaching to him, we know not on what grounds, his arrest had been ordered by Baker. Stung with the insult, he drew on the * Avanx, p. 255.

·         Governor, and in the conflict Mitchelburn was wounded From that time he had been confined to his room by order of the Governor. He was now sent for to his prison, in order that he might be promoted to succeed the man who had ordered him into confinement. It shows that Baker was a true and a noble man, when he thus could bring himself to bestow the highest mark of honour upon an officer whom he once had injured by an unjust suspicion. It was alike a manly confession of his own error, and an honourable testimony to Mitchelburn's merit. He died about a week after, on the 30th of June, and Mitchelburn then took his place as military governor without farther appointment

·         Dictionary of National Biography MICHELBORNE, MITCHELBURN, or MICHELBURNE, JOHN (1647'961721), governor of Londonderry, son of Abraham Michelborne by his first wife, Penelope, daughter of John Wheeler of Droitwich (see Berry, Sussex Genealogies, p. 50), was baptised on 8 Jan. 1647'968 at Horsted Keynes in Sussex. He was of an ancient family long settled there and at Stanmer, and Sir Richard Michelborne of Bradhurst was his grandfather. After serving under Percy Kirke [q. v.] at Tangier between 1680 and 1683, he had a major's commission from the Prince of Orange dated 5 Feb. 1689, and in the same month took part in the attempt on Carrickfergus. He commanded Skeffington's regiment of foot at Cladyford and during the siege of Londonderry. When Governor Baker fell ill on 17 June 1689 he deputed Mitchelburn to act for him, and at his death ten days later named him governor. The two officers had been on bad terms and had even crossed swords, and the author of the 'Londerias' says Mitchelburn was under arrest when his predecessor died; but Walker, Mackenzie, and Ash do not mention this. He was a pall-bearer at Baker's funeral. Though not confirmed by any vote of the officers, Mitchelburn acted as military governor during the rest of the siege; but Walker always signs his name first. About the middle of July Melfort, on behalf of King James, offered Mitchelburn 10,000l. if he would procure a surrender, but the governor answered that William was his sovereign, who could reward him without the help of brass money (Letters in Siege of Derry, act iv.) He lost his wife and all his children'97seven in number'97during the siege. After the relief of Londonderry Kirke commissioned Mitchelburn as sole governor, and made him colonel of both Skeffington's and Crofton's regiments, which he fused into one. Mitchelburn commanded this corps at the Boyne, and mustered 664 rank and file after the battle (Story). He served at the long siege of Sligo, of which he took possession 19 Sept. 1691, and of which he was made governor (Harris).

·         In 1690 the Irish Society voted £100. to Mitchelburn, but he had spent his own money during the siege of Londonderry, and was a heavy loser. He petitioned the English treasury, alleging that £9,570. 16s. 8d. were due to him and his regiment (Cal. of Treasury Papers, 21 April 1691). Various delays and difficulties were interposed, but it appears that some portion of what was due was at length paid to him (Harris, book viii.) He remained permanently at Londonderry, and became alderman. In 1699 he issued a printed statement of his losses, which gave great offence at Londonderry, and he was expelled from his office of alderman (Corporation Minutes in Hempton, p. 406). He succeeded in the litigation which followed, and was restored by mandamus. A result of the statute 2 Anne, cap. 6, which imposed the sacramental test, was to exclude Mitchelburn's presbyterian opponents from the corporation, and in August 1703 his bill of costs was paid. He made at least two journeys to London on account of his claims, and in 1709 suffered imprisonment for debt in the Fleet.

·         Mitchelburn originated some well-known Londonderry observances. With Bishop King's leave he placed in the cathedral the French flags which had been taken on 7 May 1689, and in 1713 Bishop Hartstonge allowed him to record the fact in an inscription on the east window (ib. p. 410). On 1 Aug. 1718 the red flag, which still adorns the steeple, was hoisted for the first time, as Bishop William Nicolson [q. v.] has recorded (ib. p. 411), amid great rejoicings and feastings and with illuminations and salvoes of artillery. On the same day in 1720 Mitchelburn dined with the bishop, and there were more bonfires. By his will, dated 12 July 1721, he bequeathed £50. 'for maintaining the flag on the steeple of Derry.' He died in his own house at the waterside, within sight of the walls which he had defended, on 1 Oct. 1721, and was buried near Adam Murray [q. v.] in Glendermot churchyard, co. Derry. His second wife is believed to have been the daughter of another defender, Captain Michael Cunningham of Prehen, Londonderry. By her Mitchelburn had no issue. A portrait of Mitchelburn in armour, by an unknown artist, is mentioned by Bromley. Mitchelburn's sword is preserved at Caw House, Londonderry, and his saddle, which was also used by Walker, is in possession of the Dublin society of 'Apprentice Boys of Derry,' who use it in their installation ceremonies.

"Ireland Preserved, or the Siege of Londonderry, together with The Troubles of the North, written by the then Governor (Part I. London, 1707, Fol.) '97 Col. John Michelbourne, who jointly with Walker defended this place, wrote this tragi-comedy, in the Fleet, into which the government's neglect of him threw him. It is a kind of narrative of proceedings during the siege, in two parts, illustrated with a prospect of King James's camp, on the plains of Kildare, and a survey and plan of the town at the time of the siege; and at the end, as a third part, the "Author's Case," by which it appears the House of Commons, on the report of a committee in 1698, voted an address to King William for some compensation to him, which the King agreed to, but which does not appear to have taken place.

And since such a subject cannot be writ without touching on some men's mismanagement, & the freedom that is taken in it will make some excuse for other faults committed by, Sir, your faithful and most humble servant, "'John Miohelbourne.'"

·         Scotch Irish pioneers in Ulster and America ­ p 37-38. To understand the conditions in Ulster in 1718 it will be necessary to know the Irish Society, or as it was called legally The Society of the Governor and Assistants of London, of the New Plantation in Ulster, in the Kingdom of Ireland. This Society held sway over the present county of Londonderry, between the rivers Foyle and Bann, leasing or subletting its valuable rights and privileges to local officials. The territory about Coleraine thus came by lease into the hands of the Jackson family. Ambitious to acquire both property and power, they were often at odds with the authorities in London, and were driven by these conditions to hold their territory at excessive rates imposed by the none too friendly London directors. In the year 1713 complaint was made that Mr. William Jackson had three uncles who with himself and two tenants were aldermen, so that six out of the twelve aldermen of Coleraine obeyed his orders. Five of the twenty-four burgesses, or members of the lower house, were his tenants, and Mr. Jackson desired to fill a vacancy with another tenant of his, living ten miles away at Kilrea; this tenant was moreover brother of a burgess, and both were sons of Alderman Adams. Thirteen members of the Common Council (which included Aldermen and Burgesses) called upon the mayor for a judicial investigation of the matter, but the mayor, who was a relative of Jackson's,* refused to accede to their request although it was made according to the law. This was but the beginning of discord in the Bann valley. In 1728 the Society expressed dissatisfaction with the Jackson family, which had opposed the political interest of the Society, and had through control of the Corporation of Coleraine usurped the power to grant lands. The long arm which reached out from London had no sooner quieted Coleraine, than Derry (the early name for Londonderry) was in trouble for disregarding its by-laws. These controversies probably had little influence upon the lot of the humbler tenant except along the Bann where the Jackson sway was felt. It was "commonly reported" that the Hon. Richard Jackson was forced to raise the rents of his tenants in order to meet his obligations; and that these tenants, who lived upon lands within the jurisdiction of the Clothworkers Company near Coleraine, began agitation for the first great Scotch-Irish emigration to America.

Members of the Irish Parliament abused their franking privileges in much the same way as their British Counterparts, although legislation of 1764 had demanded that both the signature and direction (address) be in the hand of the member himself - witness this letter, whose address is in Jackson's own hand (The system of Members of Parliament sending letters and parcels through the post without charge and abusing the privilege was described in Two Centuries of Life in Down, 1600-1800, 1920, John Stevenson, p273.)

In 1819 he married to Miss DUFFIN, publicly in the Church of Ballymena, in the County of Antrim, by the Rev.

• Ten Troubled Years. Kyla Madden. Colonel John Ogle was an English soldier in the 19th Foot Regiment, although little else is known about his background. In 1790 or 1791 he married Julia Eliza Barton, daughter of Susanna Barton and niece of the late Richard Jackson, and Colonel and Mrs. Ogle lived on the Forkhill estate throughout the 1790s. In 1796, Ogle received permission to form a local yeomanry corps and headed the Forkhill Yeomanry throughout the years of rebellion.  Local legends abound about Ogle, who was reputed to have been a rough authority figure. The Northern Star, in particular, portrayed him as a brutish soldier. See Senior, Orangeism in Ireland and Britain, 32. Colonel Ogle died in England in July 1830, from injuries sustained after falling from his carriage. His wife, Julia Eliza, had died in Dublin several months before.

Nor did he confine his  pious and charitable intentions to the short period of his own life, but, by  his extensive bequests he perpetuated and rendered permanent, schemes  well calculated to promote the furtherance of piety and morality, and to  diffuse the light of the Gospel by the extension of pure Christianity."     A copper Alms Dish is inscribed : " The gift of the Rev.

·         NOTE: Lunn Family Tree on Ancestry – few sources and we differ on some facts. Like a source on Family Search it connects this Kirkby Lonsdale Thomas JACKSON (1629-?) to Thomas JACKSON from Nottingham and later Co. Kildare (SEE: JACKSONs of Athgarven & Kineagh & Monestrevan Co. Kildare ) of Nottingham and later Co. Kildare who married Elinor GREEN. Birth: 13 September 1629 Kirkby Lonsdale, Westmorland, England. Death: 1710 Monastereven, Kildare, Ireland. NOTE: This is most unlikely: August 20, 2016 Sharon J. Rickard email (her email address didn’t work in 2025 and a Sharon J. Rickard -possibly the same person- died August 5, 2023). Just wanted to let you know that I have some information passed down to me from our Irish relatives. The date of death of the first Thomas Jackson to live in Ireland is incorrect. He came to Ireland in 1690 from Nottingham, England as a soldier in the army of King William. He was at the Battle of the Boyne as well as the seige of Limerick. He married Elinor Greene, in Limerick. He retired to his lands in Athagarvan and Kinneagh, near Kilcullen, County Kildare. The land was given to him for his services to the Crown. He died on the Curragh due to a fall from a horse in 1710 at the age of 65 [hence born 1645]. I thought you might be interested. I have some personal information about his life as well. He is buried at Monasterevin, County Kildare, and I have seen the Jackson Graves at Fontstown. Hope this is helpful.  Sincerely, Sharon Jackson R

·         TGF Patterson Notebook 5 [recorded on a visit in October 2011) It includes a short outline of Thomas JACKSON’s family tree: of Coleraine  BA 1702 Called to Irish bar 1710.) was born 1680. It records the marriage to Margaret BERESFORD – but no source given.

·         Marriage: 1715 Margaret BERESFORD Sister to the Marquis of Waterford. SOURCE: John Drebett, The Baronetage of England, NOTE: This relationship has the feel of a few generations being conflated. It is possible that she was a sister of Sir Tristram BERESFORD (1669-1701) whose son Sir Marcus BERESFORD (1694-1763) was in turn the father of the 1^st Marquess of Waterford (George de la Poer BERESFORD (1735-1800), but even that is not a terribly good fit.

·         NOTE: The widow of a Thomas JACKSON who died in 1751, of Creekstown, Co. Meath, was named June – not Margaret, probably a 2^nd wife.

·         In 1727, he held a seat in the Irish House of Commons for Coleraine. His birth date and death date are noted in a list of members of the Irish House of Commons 1692-1800.

[Understandably, given the frequent re-use of forenames, parts of this are inaccurate, so I have used strikethrough to indicate this. There are records which show that Susan BERESFORD (abt 1645-1706) married William JACKSON (1628-1688) of Westmorland and Coleraine in 1665. This William JACKSON was the older brother of Thomas JACKSON (1629-?) and he was also the father of the Thomas JACKSON (1680-1751) M.P. of Creekstown, Co. Meath who was the husband of Margaret BERESFORD and a 2^nd wife Jane [??].  Samuel JACKSON (1641-1706) was a younger brother of William JACKSON (1628-1688) and Thomas JACKSON (1629-?).

#140. ENSIGN THOMAS JACKSON of Derry. “Londeriados” in his muster of the forces for defence of Derry, has the following line

“From Tubbermore we Ensign Jackson saw”

This is Tobermore near Castle Dawson. From other sources we know that Ensign Thomas Jackson resided at Drumbally-Hagan Clark, Tobermore in the vicinity of the Jackson Clark’s estate of Largantogher. The Jacksons, like the Dawsons of Castle Dawson, came from Westmoreland, and were connected by association, if not by blood.

     The original settlers of the Jackson name came to Ulster in Charles I’s reign. There were two brothers, viz. Lancelot at Ballymacarret, in 1639, and Thomas who obtained about the same time a lien on lands in the vicinity of Coleraine from the Irish Society. Prospering in his undertakings he acquired considerable estate. He built Jackson Hall overlooking the River Bann, and married Susannah, daughter of Sir Tristram Beresford, Bart in 1650 (see No. 45 Beresford) There were three sons of this match: (1) Thomas the Ensign Thomas of this sketch. He was J.P. for Co. Derry in 1677. He served all through the siege, and lost his life at the Battle of the Boyne. (2) Samuel, M.P. For Coleraine, 1695-1703. (3) William, M.P. for Co. Derry in 1697.
