[1] Andrew TODD. I have yet to research his name, but I am intrigued that an Andrew TODD (1748-1805), who was likely a son of this Andrew TODD, married the 3^rd daughter of James BIRCH (d. 1727) and Mary JACKSON (d aft 1732).  

MARY BIRCH née JACKSON references of possible interest:

·       ROD 121-328-83117 Dec 8 1732 Mary BURCH als JACKSON in Loghans, Co. Down on behalf of John BURCH son to said Mary of the 1 pt & John LEDLIE of Carnin Co. Tyrone on behalf of his daughter Jane LEDLIE on the other pt.. In consid of a marriage to be had btw said John BURCH and Jane LEDLIE & of 80 pounds soon to be paid by said John as a marriage portion… Mary BURCH als JACKSON assigned to John BURCH that he had a right to by virtue of a will made by James BURCH late of Loghans, Co. Down deceased. dated 4th Feb 1726 father to John. And the said Mary did thereby assign & make over the dwelling house she then possessed with all office houses belonging to the same (the Turf house & little Stable) to the said John her son in a month after the said marriage. And in Case the said Mary and her son did not agree to live together in the same house after said marriage then Mary & John should be at equal expence in erecting a [?] Dwellinghouse for said Mary … John LEDLIE jr of Carnin Co. Tyrone to be overseer… said deed is witnessed by Jackson CLARK of Maghera, Co. Tyrone Merchant & William CROZER of [A?]ramore Co Down Gent

·       Mary BIRCH née JACKSON was a cousin of John CLARKE of Maghera, ancestor of the families of CLARK of Ampertain House and Chichester-Clark of Moyola Park and Largantogher. I suspect this means that one of her father's sisters married a CLARK, because the name Jackson CLARK is in that family. SOURCE: Thomas Ledlie Birch by Aiken McClelland.

·       There is a grab bag of info about the CLARKEs at: The Life Of Adam Clarke: Book 1, Genealogy  It may or may not be reliable.

·       If we could get one more generation back, this would help us to know where Mary JACKSON fit in with other JACKSONs. There was a William JACKSON of Tobermore who may have been her brother (their townlands were adjacent & he loaned money, record in a deed). SOURCE: Jacksons of Tobermore.

·       A Robert CLARKE of Maghera is recorded in the 1663 Hearth Money Rolls of Londonderry

·       CLARKS OF MAGHERA HOUSE, now Largantogher, Co. Derry... The first of the family to settle in Ulster was John Clark, who came from Lancashire. In 1690, he took a lease of the lands of Fortna Clark and Longfield from the Draper's Company, and a few later acquired by purchase from Montgomery of Grey Abbey the estate of Maghera (now Larantogher), where the family have resided ever since. He married Jane, sister of the Rev. Fulke White, first Presbyterian Minister of Broughshane, Co. Antrim, and ancestor of the famous Field-Marshall Sir George White, V.C. of Whitehall, Co. Antrim  (see No. 224 Rev Fulke White). Their son Jackson Clark, born 1695, was admitted a freeman of Derry, and died in 1756. The name of Jackson, since so generally adopted by the family as almost to make a hyphenated surname, seems to indicate a relationship with the Jacksons of Jackson Hall, Coleraine. At all events, Ensign Thomas Jackson, one of Derry's defenders, was a near neighbour of theirs at Tobermore (see: No. 140).

TODD family references

·       The TODD family of Carricknaveagh, which was known as Toddsville as early as 1625, were prominent United Irishmen. The name of Andrew TODD (Birch's cousin) and Andrew Tod junior, appear in the "Black Book of the North of Ireland", a list of some 200 names of the leaders of the United Irishmen. When the rebellion broke out Andrew Todd junior, joined the rebel ranks, and acted as Captain of the Town Guard when Ballynahinch was in insurgent hands. After the rebellion was crushed he was imprisoned for a short time in Lisburn. Todd later married a sister of Birch's successor, Rev. Henry SIMPSON (1799-1843), and his descendants still live in Carricknaveagh. SOURCE: Thomas Ledlie Birch: United Irishman. Aiken McClelland

[4] Robert JACKSON (1619-1679) probably born in Little Ecclestone, Co. Lancashire, England and died at Ballyregan, Parish Dundonald, Co. Down.

[5] James ROSS

[6] John JACKSON (1667-1725) presumably the son of Robert JACKSON. Probably born and died at Ballyregan, Parish Dundonald, Co. Down. He was the husband of Katherine McKINNEY.

• One of his grandsons was likely involved on the side of the United Irishmen in the Battle of Saintfield in 1798: Harry Monro, of Lisburn, accompanied by a considerable body of men, joined Dr. Jackson, of Newtownards, and those whom he led, shortly after the destruction of McKee and his family. SOURCE: Betsy Gray. NOTE: I do not know which grandson this might be. To add to the confusion, another JACKSON was also involved that day, this one a descendant of the JACKSONs of Coleraine. Lieut-Col Robert JACKSON, son of Sir Richard JACKSON (abt 1730-1789) and Anne O’NEILL (1738-1781), became a prisoner at the battle when he accompanied his uncle Viscount John O’NEILL (1740-1798) who died as a result of his wounds in battle on June 18^th,  1798. They had been surrounded by insurgents who may not have known of O’NEIL’s sympathies for their cause. He was known as a very popular champion of the independent interest and was well regarded by the Presbyterians. SOURCE. The Summer Soldiers: The 1798 Rebellion in Antrim and Down. A.T.Q.

[7] Thomas JACKSON (1700-1779) – based on the presumption that the lease on the land then went to the Thomas JACKSON who was a son of John JACKSON (1667-1725) and Katherine McKINNEY..

[8] John JACKSON (abt 1700-?) presumably the land went to John JACKSON who was the brother of Thomas JACKSON (1700-1779). There is one other possibility: Instead did Thomas JACKSON reconvey the lands back to his father John JACKSON (1667-1725)?  If he did, was this the explanation for the convoluted language in the 1714 lease (see above - Image 37)?)

[9] Joseph JACKSON presumably Dr. Joseph JACKSON (1690-1782?) son of John JACKSON and Katherine McKINNEY and brother of Thomas JACKSON and John JACKSON.

·       SOURCE: The Genealogy of the Jackson Family. Rev. Hugh Parks Jackson. Press of Citizen & Gazette Co., Urbana Ohio, 1890. p. 7 About the year 1690, Joseph Jackson was born, who, with three of his brothers, became prominent physicians at Carrickfergus, county Antrim, and Newtown Limavady, county Londonderry, Ireland. These counties join, and the towns, above named, are about 35 miles apart; the former being 10 miles from Belfast, and the latter 16 miles X. E. of the town of Londonderry. Limavady has now a population of 3000 inhabitants. Dr. Jackson located first at Carrickfergus and afterward at Limavady. He was married three times. What were the names of his first and second wives could not be ascertained; but his third wife was Lady Mary Carr, sister of Lord James Carr. She first married a man by the name of Jackson and had one son Hugh. Her husband died, and she then became the third wife of Dr. Joseph Jackson, and was thus married to two men, not related, by the name of Jackson. NOTE: Some of this begs for more corroborating sources. The reference to Limavady may turn out to be a misunderstanding recorded in the early pedigrees – conflating Newtownards aka Newtown. with Limavady aka Newtownlimavady.

[10] Robert MAGEE of Dundonald.

• Robert Magee (the father of Grizel Jackson) was married to a Kell. He was brother in law of Gilbert Jackson who had married an Anna or Annas Kell dau of John Kell of Criagavad, Co Down (will 1706/1707). SOURCE: Email Robert Forrest, January 3, 2019.

[13] Hugh REA. (1717-1759) NOTE: Since the REA family lived near the JACKSONs of Ballyreagan, intermarried with them, and the family were deeply involved with emigration to the Carolinas, this somewhat adds to the possible case for the grandfather of President Andrew JACKSON to be Dr. Joseph JACKSON. .

• Also of interest, Dr. Joseph JACKSON (b abt 1690) and Elizabeth VANCE, one of his three wives had a son Andrew JACKSON (1730-1767). Andrew JACKSON and his wife Elizabeth HUTCHINSON (1740-1781) were the parents of President Andrew JACKSON. SOURCE: Andrew and Elizabeth Jackson, his father and mother, were simply typical settlers, dying young because that is what most settlers did. They seem to have worked their way down from Pennsylvania to the Waxhaw settlement, where like them most of the other settlers were from Northern Ireland. They brought with them from Ireland both their elder sons Hugh and Robert. Andrew had been a poor tenant farmer, Elizabeth a weaver. Several close relatives of hers had already settled in the Waxhaw area: one sister, Jane, was married to a man called James Crawford or Crafford, another, Margaret, to a man called George McKemy or McCamie and two others to men by the name of Leslie. On her husband's death Elizabeth abandoned the family smallholding of some 200 acres —  the Jacksons probably had barely a squatters' right to it and title to it was disputed—  and went to live with her relatively prosperous sister Mrs Crawford, keeping house for her as the latter was in poor health. On her way to the Crawfords' she stopped off at her brother-in-law McKemy's cabin, where she may have given birth to the future President. He was born either there or at the Crawfords'.
