James Jackson.
Signed sealed by the above named James Jackson in presence of John Henderson, Andrew McKee.
The above named John Henderson maketh oath that he saw the above named Andrew McKee duly execute the endorsement whereof the above writing is a Memorial and also saw the above named James Jackson duly sign at the above Memorial that he the deponent is a subscribing witness and endorsement by Memorial that the name John Henderson subscribed as witness to said indenture and Memorial is the deponent’s own proper handwriting: sworn before me this 28 day of August 1750 at Belfast in the County of Antrim, by Virtue of a commission to me, directed [??] Deponent Robert Wills[22] [1] Andrew TODD. There is a strong likelihood that this Andrew TODD is related – likely the father – of the Andrew TODD (1748-1805) who married the 3rd daughter of James BIRCH and Mary JACKSON. A paper by Richard McMurtry showing the mapping of TODDs in Ireland states: The Todds were in Carricknaveagh as early as 1625 when it was called Toddstown. Andrew Todd participated in the 1798 uprising of the United Irishmen and the family lands were confiscated by the Crown. The Thomas Ledlie BIRCH of the United Irishmen would be a relation. [2] Todds Town is the townland of Carricknaveagh, Parish of Killaney. From Ros Davies site: 5 km S Loughbrickland; possibly named after Rev. Todd farm ; 4km NW of Saintfield on the Lisburn road; named for John Todd's holding in 1663 in Carricknaveagh townland ; residence of Andrew Todd in 1748 & Richard Walker Esq. in 1806. [3] John GIBSON of Ballymacarrett. It is possible that he was the one mentioned in 1718 in the Ballynahinch Presbyterian Testimonials. [4] Ballymacarrett, Parish of Knockbreda, Co. Down [5] Ballyregan Parish of Knockbreda, Co. Down. The JACKSON tenancy here dates back at least to the late 1600s. [6] John DENHAM [7] Robert JACKSON (d. 1679). He is the earliest known (to me) JACKSON in the line of Co. Down Jacksons. [8] Capt. James ROSS (1652-1734). Gravestone inscriptions in Church of Ireland graveyard in Donaghadee, Co. Down, Ireland: Here lyeth the body of Mr James Ross who died on 11th day of Feb 1734 aged 82. NOTE: It would be worth following up on ROSS-related deeds and pedigrees in the archives at the National Archives in Dublin. I suspect that he was a relation of the George ROSS who married Ursula Hamilton of Carnesure. I also suspect that his ancestors were originally from Irvine in Ayrshire, Scotland, and were part of James Hamilton's plantation before 1617. See also: Robert Ross. It also seems that in 1732 – two years before he died, that lands were sold to pay debts. See also Ros Davies page with lots of ROSS notes indicating that a James ROSS was a major landowner in 1653 in Dundonald Parish.. · PRONI LPC/1174 2 April 1694 Lease (copy) of Killeen, Co.

Ballygrogan, Co Antrim. · Registry of Deeds, Dublin Vol 111 282 [9] Portavoe, Parish of Bangor, Barony Ards Lower. [10] John JACKSON of Ballyreagan. This John JACKSON may be the father of Robert JACKSON (d. 1679), or the John JACKSON (1639-1716) who married Jennet JACKSON daughter of Robert JACKSON (d. 1679), or the John JACKSON (1667-1725) – husband of Katherine McKINNEY. Some of these early generations may be bit muddled. My guess is that Robert JACKSON may have had two wives, hence the spread in the ages of his children. Also, it would be likely that the husband of his daughter Jennet was also a relation. [11] Thomas JACKSON. One possibility is Thomas JACKSON (1679-1713) brother of John JACKSON (1667-1725) [12] Joseph JACKSON. One possibility is Dr. Joseph JACKSON, son of John JACKSON (1667-1725) and Katherine McKINNEY. The oral history claims 3 wives for him, but we only have documentation for two, so Grizel could be the 3rd. [13] Robert MAGEE father of Grizel JACKSON [14] Grizel MAGEE [15] Hugh REA (1717-1759) son of David REA (1672-1754) SEE Saintfield Gravemarker transcribed by R.J.S. Clarke: [Horizontal stone on the ground in modern REA railed enclosure]. Here lyeth the body of David REA of Maharynock [aka Magheraknock] Hill who departed this life 16 0f March 1754 aged 82 years. & also his son Hugh REA of said place who departed this life ye 2 of June 1759 aged 42 years. Likewise the body of his son David REA who departed this life Janry 3rd 1770 aged 13 years.

Here lyeth ye body of Catherine REA otherwise BARNETT wife to Matthew REA who departed ye life ye 2nd of January 1781 aged 68 years. [16] Elizabeth REA née JACKSON [17] James HUTCHESON. NOTE: An Elizabeth HUTCHESON married a James JACKSON (1702-1738), son of Gilbert JACKSON (1677-1723) [18] John HENDERSON of Antrim [19] John LOWERS of Ballee, Co. Down. NOTE: The name LOWEY is in the Ballee area in this time frame. [20] Thomas JACKSON of Ballyregan. This is possibly the Dr. Thomas JACKSON (1700-1779) of Ballyreagon. [21] Andrew McKEE.
