A Thomas JACKSON Esq. of Dublin is a witness to a number

Here is at least one of the likely links between the

lands of Steeple passed from JACKSON to CLARKE. NOTE:
A Jackson CLARKE of Upperlands family was already born in 1695 – so there had
to be earlier links. His father was John CLARKE b 1665. NOTE: A possibility is that Ellenor CLARKE was a

Tithe |
1833 Loonburn had no substantial buildings. Three decades
later, in the Griffiths Valuation, a George Jackson had title to about 170 of
the 286 acres in the townland. He likely sub-leased to tenant farmers.
He also leased 40 acres directly from the Marquis of Donegal. |
