The ones shaded in this colour are already in my rootsweb family tree. Many of them are connected to the JACKSONs of Ballyreagan and Ballywooly. They are the relations of American President Andrew Jackson. There are four townlands mentioned in the probates beneath which will in time connect us to other people who are also part of this family tree: SEE: A quote from John Spenser Bassett's "Life of Andrew Jackson":

A memorandum preserved by Jackson among his papers and without evidence of its reliability asserts that there were four brothers in Ireland by the name of Jackson each of whom occupied as freeholder "a large farm." Andrew, the youngest, lived near Castlereagh and sold his property in 1765 and went to America where he landed at Charleston, S. C, and removed to the back country. All of these Jacksons. it declared, were devoted to the Established Kirk of Scotland and were noted for their hospitality. Castlereagh is about one hundred and twenty-five miles from Carrickfergus whence Jackson and Crawford sailed for America. One brother " his name is not given " lived at Ballynisca. in the parish of Car-Donnell [aka Dundonald] and was father of Samuel Jackson, who became senior partner in the Philadelphia firm of Jackson and Bayard, with whom William Patterson, of Baltimore, lived when a youth. Another brother, name not given, lived at Knocknagoney, parish of Holywood, and his daughter married James Suffern, of New York, a brother of John Suffern, a prominent state politician. The fourth brother, whose name is not mentioned, lived at Bally Willy, parish of Bangor, and was called "Laird Jackson." This memorandum could have been prepared after the appearance of Reid*s book NOTE: Major John Reid] , and there is an evident purpose to enhance Jackson's social standing.

The ones shaded in this colour are included in my rootsweb family tree and are connected to the Quaker JACKSONs.

James

1711

Ballyregan

Ballymiscaw

Ballyskeagh

Newtonards

SEE: 1711 will of James JACKSON. James JACKSON was of Newtownards, but had leases at Ballyskeagh, Ballymiscaw and Ballyregan. All three townlands are close to one another. At least two of them, Ballyregan and Ballykeagh, were leased to the Jacksons by James ROSS. The 1641 records show the townland of Ballyregan to be held by James Clandeboyes. Also worth noting, is that although James JACKSON’s father was probably a Robert JACKSON (based on a lease that mentions them both), there was also a Henry JACKSON who held a lease at Ballymiscaw in 1695 from James ROSS. Source: PRONI: LPC/1175. Curiously,  in a history of the congregations of 1^st Ballybay Clogher Record, Vol. 7, No. 2 (1970), pp. 325-335 : Mr. Henry  Jackson, who is said to have been nearly related to General  Jackson, President of the United States, Mr. Jackson was  ordained at Banbridge by the Presbytery of Armagh on the  8th of November, 1743. According to The Ulster Jacksons by D.J. McCartney, an unnamed JACKSON of “Ballynisca in the parish of Car-Donnell” was father of the Samuel JACKSON who became a senior partner in Philadelphia with the firm Jackson and Bayard. Another unnamed brother lived at the nearby townland of Knocknagoney, Holywood. There are many JACKSONs from Knocknagoney noted in these probate records. A 4^th brother lived at Ballywilly and was referred to as Laird Jackson. Given that there is a probate of a James JACKSON of Ballywilly, he seems to be a likely candidate. In 1836, A Mr JACKSON from Ballybay was an agent for J. ROSS in Ballyrgan. AN unknown-to-me Andrew JACKSON leased 100 acres of Ballyregan in 1772.

John

1715 Mar 31

Killinure

Parish of Saintfield, Barony Castlereagh Upper.

I am reasonably certain this was the John JACKSON (1653-1715), son of Richard JACKSON and Margaret KEETE, one of the Quaker JACKSONs. He was probably born in Lisburn. His brother Thomas JACKSON died at Killinure in 1716

Thomas

1716 Jun 15

Killinure

Thomas JACKSON was born Sept 30, 1656 at Clery, Co. Down. I can find no townland or parish named Clery.  Killinure, where Thomas died, is in the Parish of Saintfield, Barony Castlereagh Upper.

From The Irish Ancestor, re land owned by Quaker Anthony SHARP. The first of these Quakers at  Killinure of whom I have found record was Moses Pim and his wife Anne Raper whose  twin children were born there in 1688, which must have been very shortly after Anthony  acquired the property from Thomas Sharkey of Abbeyleix and Mountrath (as mentioned  in Reg. of Deeds 100 278 70479). Before 1692 the Pims moved to Lackagh (also owned  by Anthony) where they remained through the 18th century. They were replaced at Killinure by Thomas Jackson and his second wife Dorothy: Jackson was a Quaker from Co. Down who had been living at Mountmellick. Jackson children were born at Killinure  between 1692 and 1700, and Anthony's will of 1706 mentions Thomas Jackson as the  lessee of Killinure. Jackson died there on 15th June 1716 aged 60, as did a son of his in  1717, in which year a daughter of his was married from there. One John Jackson, possibly either a son or brother of Thomas, died at Killinure on 6th August 1715 (will proved at Ossory 1717), and John's widow Joan died there in 1728: three of their  daughters were married from there, Catherine in 1722, Abigail in 1726 and Alice in  1732, after which the association of the Jacksons with Killinure appears to have ceased.
