[1] I know nothing of the relationships between these two men, but I do find it intriguing that they both were also amongst those included in the signatories who signed a notice of 100 guinea reward for Tuesday 7th fire at Roman Catholic Chapel at Tullysaron in 1797.

[2] Robert JACKSON of Woodvale.See PRONI: D889/1/20. 24 October 1789 Lease for Lives of Robert Jackson and his wife, Sarah, and the survivor of them by William Turkington, merchant, of Richhill, Armagh, Robert Jackson of Woodvale, of Curry, Parish of Mullabrack. 7 acres English near Jackson's mill race, corn kiln and turf house mentioned. See also: 1793 June 17th deed

[3] Woodvale, Parish of Mullaghbrack. This is not to be confused with the Woodvale, in the townland of Glassdrummond, Parish of Creggan, Co. Armagh is associated with JOHNSTONS. See: Woodvale History from Deeds. There are still more inter-relationships between JACKSONs and JOHNSTONs to be deduced.

[4] William GIRVIN aka GARVIN. He is mentioned in a Deed January 17, 1797 involving lands in the Kennedies where he owned a mill. PRONI T1877

[5] Rowan, Parish of Derrynoose, Co. Armagh. There is a townland of this name on the western border of the parish on the border of Monaghan. It is worth questioning whether this is the correct townland, since there is also a townland in the parish named Roughan, which it is contiguous with the townlands in Lisnadill of Ballynagalliagh and Moneyquin whereas Rowan is not.

[6] Rowan, Parish of Derrynoose, Co. Armagh
