| 1765 June 15 Will of Richard JACKSON NAMES: James JACKSON; Richard JACKSON; Elizabeth HARRISON; George HARRSION; Jackson HARRISON; Margaret HARRISON; Elinor HARRISON; Mary HARRISON sr. & jr.; Thomas JACKSON; Thomas PEAT; Richard GITSOLL aka GAITSKILL; John POSTLEWAITE; WIlliam BAXTER. PLACES: Kirby Kendal; Finkle Street aka ffinkle; Gill in Bradley Field; Brigsteer. | September 2, 2010 |
| JACKSONs at Trinity College I have sorted the material by date. This is my first stab at documenting who is who. I am hopeful that others will contribute and then we can find homes for all of these JACKSONs. | August 24, 2010 |
| Jacksons of Christ's College from Yorkshire, Westmorland & Lancashire My purpose in assembling this table and highlighting various words is to support those researchers who are working to establish links between the various JACKSON families who emigrated to Ireland in the 1600s and then perhaps also went back and forth to England for reasons of study, business or family. The JACKSONs of Coleraine were definitely connected to the Clothworkers part of the plantation settlements in the early 1600s, but more is still to be learned of them. They were also not the only line of JACKSONs to settle in Ireland in this time frame, although it is not unlikely that other lines will turn out to have some tangential relationship with them. Leeds, Westmorland and Yorkshire were specific places that many of them hailed from. | August 22, 2010 |
| JACKSONs mentioned amongst Oxford Alumni My purpose in assembling this table and highlighting various
words is to support those researchers who are working to establish links
between the various JACKSON families who emigrated to Ireland in the 1600s and
then perhaps also went back and forth to England for reasons of study, business
or family. The JACKSONs of Coleraine were definitely connected to the Clothworkers part of the plantation settlements in the early 1600s in Londonderry, but more is still to be learned of them. They were also not the only line of JACKSONs to settle in Ireland in this time frame, although it is not unlikely that other lines will turn out to have some tangential relationship with them. Leeds, Westmorland and Yorkshire were specific places that many of them hailed from. |

| Index to Irish Marriages 1771-1712 I have made a table incorporating the JACKSONs mentioned in the two volumes of Walker's Hiberian Magazine and added clarifications where known. | August 22, 2010 |
| Significant updates of: Jackson mentions in Cromwellian records and Jacksons in Co. Down probates | August 22, 2010 |
| Sources for JACKSONs of Co. Down | August 21, 2010 |
| Samuel JACKSON of Dundonald, Co. Down This Samuel JACKSON - or "these" Samuel JACKSONs - are more than likely to be part of the family lines traced in the County Down JACKSONs. At present, I am in a zone of decided ignorance, but I have decided to share the crumbs that I have scrounged in the hopes of learning more. | August 21, 2010 |
| 1735-1739 Letters concerning JACKSONs and deeds in Co. Down The families of NICHOLSON-JACKSON and CLELAND seem to be more than geographically close. There are several connections of either intermarriage and/or property. I suspect I only know the half of it. These letters as well as other documents that I hope to see in the near future should help us to connect more of the dots of the early JACKSON years in Co. Down. A particular curiousity of mine concerns Anne JACKSON (1724-1814) who married a BLACKWOOD and is buried in the Abbey Graveyard at Bangor. NAMES: James JACKSON; James BLACKWOOD; Gilbert JACKSON;STEVENSON; Robert BLACKWOOD; Elizabeth HUTCHON; Mr. ECHLIN; PLACES: Ballyleidy; Ballymisca. |

| The Jacksons of Co. Down A great deal of new information has come to light since this page was first posted (not that long ago!). The three trees that are included challenge many assumptions about the ancestry of both President Andrew JACKSON as well as Stonewall JACKSON. There is still much to learn and I suspect future revisions will contribte to an ever-clearer picture of the truth. | August 20, 2010 |
| The Ejected of 1662 in Cumberland and Westmoreland : Their Predecessors and Successors, Vol 2. This is a fascinating document with many, many references to both JACKSONs and also MAULEVERERs (another family that had roots in Northern Ireland). There is also quite a bit about the context of Quakers, Presbyterians and the Established church in the mid-1600s in Westmoreland. | August 3, 2010 |
| The Ejected of 1662 in Cumberland and Westmoreland : Their Predecessors and Successors,Vol 1. B. Nightingale, M.A. Manchester, 1911 There are numerous JACKSONs in these records. | August 2, 2010 |
| JACKSON Family Trees based on Whittington Parish register I have merely grouped JACKSON names that seem to belong together. It seems like a modest enough place to start, although I suspect that many of these little trees are in turn related to each other as well. | August 2, 2010 |
| JACKSONs in Whittington, Westmorland Church Registers These records provide the BMD sources for a number of the JACKSONs who ended up in Londonderry in the mid-1600s. They are likely significant for understanding many other Irish-England connections. | August 2, 2010 |
| Jacksons of Co. Down The ancestry of the JACKSONs of County Down may turn out to hold valuable clues to correcting some glitches in the supposed ancestry of both President Andrew JACKSON as well as Stonewall JACKSON. More work is required and I will focus on some of it in the fall of 2010 when I plan to visit Ireland again. The trade of tanner that some of the early members of the family are engaged in is of interest since there are JACKSONs in the same time frame in Drogheda who are also connected to the tanning trades. | July 28, 2010 |
| JACKSON subscribers to Lewis Topographical Dictionary of Ireland 1837 | July 13, 2010 |
| JACKSONs of Lisnaboe, Co. Meath The sources for much of the detail included in this tree come from http://www.farrell-family.org/ an excellent site with hundreds of primary sources managed by Bill and Mary Farrell. I have not taken the time yet to integrate the outline tree with the detailed report (which follows the outline on this page). | July 12, 2010 |
| JACKSONs named in Land Grants In time, my hope is that we will be able to pin all these men to particular JACKSON family trees. For now, this is merely a work in progress. SOURCE: The Irish and Anglo-Irish Landed Gentry, When Cromwell came to Ireland. John O’Hart. 2007. | July 9, 2010 |
| Jackson crests relating to Irish JACKSONs This page has meant looking simultaneously at dozens of JACKSON crests - and I can't claim to not have made a mistake or three. There were dozens of hyperlinks to add - so hopefully they are all working. Please let me know if you encounter difficulties, errors or if you can add more to this story. | July 8, 2010 |
| JACKSONs of Duddingham Duddington [aka Doddington], Northamptonshire, England is the origin of a JACKSON family tree that rooted in Fanningstown, Co. Limerick. | July 8, 2010 |
| The JACKSONs of Enniscoe and Carramore, Co. Mayo originated in Sneyd Park, Bristol, England. I suspect that in time, we will also find that this tree is connected to a Miles JACKSON of Co. Mayo (found there as early as 1655). | July 8, 2010 |
| Descendants of William MAULEVERER This is just a couple of generations of MAULEVERERs. They go back many generations at Maghera, Co. Derry and at some point, I will add those bits in. For now, this is intended only as a complement to the story about the murder of Robert Lindsay MAULEVERER. | July 7, 2010 |
| 1711 February 18 will of James JACKSON NAMES: James JACKSON tanner of Newtown, Co. Down; John JACKSON, brother of Ballyreagan; Katherine McKINNEY aka Catring McKINNEY; Catrine HUTCHON and Catrine BIRCHE; Rachel JACKSON; JohnTODE; Agnes PAGE; Sam McDOUELL; Hendrie JACKSON; James ROSSE; John JACKSON of Ballyskeagh; Thomas JACKSON of Ballyreagan; James JACKSON nephew of James JACKSON of Ballymasca; James NEIL; Gilbert JACKSON son of John JACKSON of Ballyskeagh; Martha WITHER; James SLOAN; Thomas JACKSON of Newtown Innkeeper. | July 4, 2010 |
| Jackson Tree in Library of Congress There are some good clues here, but probably also some red herrings. Since this material is unsourced, I approach it with caution. | July 4, 2010 |
| JACKSONs in Co. Down Probates The Newtown JACKSONs seem to be tied into the John JACKSON, born 1624 Eccleston, Lancashire, England. | July 4, 2010 |
| JACKSONs in Co. Carlow Griffiths This is a work in progress. I am trying to situate the JACKSONs who show up in Griffiths as either lessors or lessees in Co. Carlow. This page also includes where they are in a Parish map. | July 2, 2010 |
| JACKSONs - Various trees of families based or connected to Co. Carlow Since the oral history of the JACKSONs of Urker, Parish of
Creggan, Co. Armagh is that the family was granted lands in Co. Carlow, I
wanted to check out records that might help us to verify or disprove this, Both
would be useful. Now that DNA is complementing the paper trails that are
possible through other means, this work may also be helpful to other lines of
JACKSONs. In light of this, if you family ties into any of these lines, then it
would be helpful to let me know so I can add to the shared memory bank. NOTE: I suspect that other information relating to Carlow JACKSONs will emerge as I work on the Dublin JACKSON clues. |
July 2, 2010 |
| JACKSONs found in Carlow Church of Ireland Records NOTE: Since my focus is JACKSONs, I didn’t look much at non-JACKSON witnesses. I have checked the image of the register for all the burials and Baptisms and selected records otherwise. I have sorted the three tables (Marriages; Baptisms and Deaths) chronologically. | July 2, 2010 |
| 1834 May 1 NOBLETT-JACKSON NAMES: Estyer [Esther?] JACKSON; Joseph BRIEN; Thomas NOBLETT; Henry JACKSON; Andrew STEWART; Francis JONES; Samuel JACKSON; George BARKER aka George PARKER; Joseph BARKER aka Joseph PARKER; Joseph JACKSON; William MOORE; Widow MURPHY; Rachel JACKSON; Samuel SHARP; Thomas ALCOCK; Valentine KINSHALLA (this name may be a misreading of the text); Widow BYRNE; Abraham PARKER sr.; Abraham PARKER jr.; Joseph PARKER; Lorenzo John WALTERS; Michael HICKEY; Oliver MOORE. PLACES: Hacketstown; Coolmana; Nashe’s Quarters; Long Meadow; Soliska aka Loliska aka Starlusk aka Stralusky, Parish of Haroldstown; River Dereen; Charles’s Park. | July 2, 2010 |

PLACES: Hacketstown; Coolmana; Nashe’s Quarters; Long Meadow; Soliska aka Loliska aka Starlusk aka Stralusky, Parish of Haroldstown; River Dereen; Charles’s Park. | July 2, 2010 |
| JACKSONs - one line based in Co. Carlow & Co. Wicklow This line of JACKSONs were based in both Co. Wicklow and Co. Carlow. Some of my connections in this tree are based on fairly far fetched hunches - but I have identified them as such so I hope that any errors do not echo into posterity! As I learn more, I will fix it up. I am grateful for the help from Inga JACKSONs posts to the Carlow List Serve as well as emails from other participants on that list. | June 20, 2010 |
| JACKSONs of Santry This is my first crack at this particular JACKSON tree, so I expect it will be improved in the future thanks to the kindness of friends and strangers (and the magic of all those who connect through the ether). Please let me know if you encounter errors or have other sources that are new to me. | June 20, 2010 |
| JACKSONs found in Co. Carlow & Co. Wicklow I have two requests of readers. Firstly, this is a 30 page document and I have had to wrestle with some aspects of getting it onto a readable page. Please let me know if it works for you. Secondly, If you have trees that link any of the earlier names to more recent ones, I would love to learn more. NOTE: I have not interpolated data from the 1901 Census since it seemed to shed no significant new light on what I already had. | June 3, 2010 |
| I have just completed a number of interrelated pages concerning early property holdings in Co. Cavan. Firstly, there is the list that Coote replicated from Pynnar on lands in 1618-1619. Secondly, a page where I make a stab at following the older place names into what they are more frequently known as today. Thirdly, early sightings of JACKSONs in Co. Cavan. Finally, a list of the proprietors in Co. Cavan in 1802 - which includes one lone JACKSON. | May 20, 2010 |
| Recollections written about 1951 This history was written by Amy Oliver JACKSON, one of the daughters of Sir Thomas JACKSON (1841-1915). | May 17, 2010 |
| 1916 March 3rd. Probate of 1905 Will of Sir Thomas Jackson NAMES: Sir Thomas JACKSON (1841-1915); Amelia Lydia Lady JACKSON (1851-1944); Kathleen McCullagh JACKSON (1872-1959); Thomas Dare JACKSON (1876-1854); George Julius JACKSON (1883-1856); Elizabeth BROWN (1843-1923); Mary GRIFFIN (1844-1921); Sarah GILMORE (1848-1942);Margaret McCULLAGH (1853-1944); Andrew Coulter Bradford JACKSON (1846-1929); James JACKSON (1850- aft 1911); Kate JACKSON (1854-?) widow of John JACKSON; PLACES: Stanstead; Cavananore; Urker; Annaghavackey; Liscalgot. | May 17, 2010 |
| The murder of Robert Lindsay Mauleverer The story of this murder has a significant connection to the story of the JACKSON family of Urker, Co. Armagh and there is also a direct connection with a family story about the boy who became Sir Thomas JACKSON, the man who ran HSBC in Hong Kong during the mid to late 1800s. | May 12, 2010 |
| The Battle for Cavananore This is the story of various legal challenges over Cavananore that stretched over more than a hundred years. The family names of the main players are:COULTER, BRADFORD, McCULLAGH and JACKSON. | May 12, 2010 |
| Jacksons of Urker genealogy notes Bessie BROWN née JACKSON (1843-1923) was my great-grandmother. Her notes are amongst the earliest direct notes on our family history that we have. This does not mean that they are accurate, but most of it has been verified. | April 18, 2010 |
| Jacksons of Coleraine I have done a major rewrite of this page. A significant amount of old information has been corrected and clarified and new information has been added. | April 10, 2010 |
| Descendants of Jane JACKSON & Henry WRAY The WRAY family are connected to the JACKSONs of Coleraine. | April 10, 2010 |
| 1739 July 3 Deed Notes NAMES: Frances JACKSON; Rev. Peter JACKSON of Killincoole and Darver; Rev. George JACKSON of Dromin, Mosstown & Stabannon; George ADAMS of Heathtown; Elizabeth ADAMS née JACKSON; Francis JACKSON; ANthony FOSTER; James DOBBIN. OTHER PLACES: Bellelulcashell, Kilhavan, Killemurree, Mullefinegan, Tannafofan, Killaughavare, & Eskar all in Co. Monaghan & town and lands of Ardpatrick Co. Louth. | April 9, 2010 |

| 1915 List of lands owned by Sir Thomas JACKSON in Armagh & Louth NAMES: Sir Thomas JACKSON; PLACES: Cavananore; Anaghavakey; Urcher aka Urker; Liscalgot. These were lands that meant more to the family than simple acreage - they were the lands where his family had its roots, roots that went back at least to the mid-1700s in some properties and a century earlier in others. | April 7, 2010 |
| 1818 September 4 Letter NAMES: James McCULLAGH; Elizabeth JACKSON née McCULLAGH; John GILLMER; John WALLACE; David JACKSON; John JACKSON. PLACES: Creggan; Tullyegallahan aka Tullyogallaghan. | April 6, 2010 |
| 1876 Jan 6th & the next few months - The John E. MORTON case This case helps to make sense of part of the ongoing conflict surrounding the house and lands of Cavananore, Co. Louth. I will finish writing up a full account in the near future. | April 1, 2010 |
| 1864 May 21 will of Samuel STUART aka STEWART This is a will that was saved at Gilford Castle by Mary MENARY. It is a mystery about the connection of Samuel STUART to the MENARYs. I also wonder if the bequests may have had some bearing on a later MENARY-COUSER court case. This document is shared thanks to the generosity of Christine WRIGHT. The transcription and footnotes (and hence all errors) are mine. NAMES: Samuel STUART of Lisdrumard; Rev. Joseph Ford LEATHLY aka LEATHLEY; William MENARY sr. & William MENARY jr. of Magherkilcranny; Alexander MENARY of Cavanaballaghy aka Cavan Bellaghy; Sarah WILSON of Rowan, Parish of Derrynoose; Jane COUSER of Aghavilly; Anne COUSER of Aghavilly; Elizabeth ORR of Umgola; Margaret GRAY; James HAYES. | March 30, 2010 |
| 1887 December 26 Eliza Jackson to Mary Menary jr. NAMES: Mary MENARY; David JACKSON; Ellen DONALDSON; Eliza JACKSON of Urker, Crossmaglen. | March 30, 2010 |
| 1883 March 28 Robert Johnston to Mary Menary This letter is likely connected with ongoing legal issues concerning leases and lands with the McCULLAGHs. NAMES: Mary MENARY; James McCULLAGH; Mary Jane OLIVER; Robert JOHNSTON; PLACES: Ormond Quay, Dublin; Urker. | March 30, 2010 |
| John Jackson 1839-1886 I did a major rewrite of a biography of John JACKSON b. 1839. | March 30, 2010 |
| Elizabeth Jackson Report Cards from Newry District Model School Elizabeth JACKSON (1843-1923) attended Newry District Model School. I do not know whether others of her family also attended there, but it is likely. | March 29, 2010 |
| 1851 October 11 Kathleen JACKSON to Thomas Dare JACKSON This letter explains the way that the letters that we have from Eliza JACKSON (1815-1903) were selected for posterity by her children. NAMES: Thomas Dare JACKSON; Kathleen McCullagh JACKSON; Amy Oliver JACKSON; Beatrice Minnie Shrieve JACKSON. PLACES: Herringfleet, Sussex. | March 29, 2010 |
| 1887 October 26-30 Evening Post News. The story of the foundering of the HMS Waspas relayed from The China Mail to The Evening Post. In a letter that Elizabeth JACKSON wrote to her son Thomas October 31, 1887, she describes her fears about her son David who was on the ship and her hopes that he is safe. Her calm tone is remarkable. | March 22, 2010 |
| Deeds & Wills page I have updated a number of older deed transcriptions with new material added in the footnotes. In the right hand column on the Deeds & Wills page, I have inserted the date of the pertinent updates. I have also made hundreds of new data entries (and continue to do so) in my Family Tree | March 19, 2010 |
| John Charles COULTER (Nov 1840 – bet. 1914-1917) - the mystery surrounding his death and an exploration of his possible family connection to the COULTERs of Carrickastuck. The knowledge of the story is thanks to a series of emails in 2009 from Lainey (Elaine) Machovsky. | March 2, 2010 |
| Council book of Drogheda - Jackson references Starting in 1657, the first generation -Richard JACKSON of Drogheda (carpenter, sheriff etc.) - seems to have been quite successful. His son, Alderman Richard JACKSON also seems to have succeeded although his various pension requests in 1713-1715 lead one to wonder how well he was doing near the end of his life. By 1727, his son George seems even more financially precarious as he pleads for money so he can place his two sons as apprentices. The Corporation finally says, enough in 1730: and yt for the future, no petition or application be received from the said George Jackson for any further relief. | February 26, 2010 |
| 1911 Census of Killynure and notes NAMES: COUSER, STOOPS, CARROLL, FINEGAN, CAROLAN, BROWN, MONTGOMERY, SMYTH, MACKLE, FEGAN. | February 10, 2010 |
| Andrew Bradford OLIVER(1818-1877) This is a complete rewriting of this biography with new photos and information. | February 10, 2010 |
| JACKSONs of Creggan and Drogheda There is mounting evidence that there may be a connection between the JACKSONs of Creggan and the JACKSONs of late 1600s and early 1700s Drogheda. In time, this may or may not be proven. It will depend on not only the truth of whether or not there is a connection, but also whether there are enough available records to make the case compellingly. | February 4, 2010 February 26, 2010 |
| PIPPARDs of County Louth Deeds. This page is not meant to be an exhaustive summary of all deeds pertaining to the PIPPARDs of County Louth. It only includes the ones that I have found as part of exploring JACKSON-PIPPARD connections as well as ones that can be found on Nick Reddan’s excellent site. As in all of this work, we are all standing on the shoulders of others. | February 1, 2010 |
| 1735 August 5 NAMES: Rt. Hon Lord John BELLEW; James DICKIE of Clonaleenan; David BAILIE; George PIPPARD of Drogheda; Cornelius M'LAUGHLIN of Drogheda; William PARRY. | January 31, 2010 |

Updated from a notes version to a full transcription. | January 31, 2010 |
| JACKSON Freemen of Dublin NOTE: This is merely the start of a work in progress - trying to learn more about these men and who their families may have been. I am particularly interested in the ones with Quaker links. | January 26, 2009 |
| 1834 July 2 Will of Margaret JACKSON NAMES: Margaret JACKSON of Monaghan née IRWIN; James JACKSON; James ALEXANDER; George BARTLEY; James HATCHETT; E.M. MORPHY; Richard JACKSON of Monaghan. | January 25, 2010 |
