Deed 1834 8 203 NOBLETT-JACKSON

 

This transcription has been accomplished with the support of voice recognition software and then edited to a point. I have not rendered abbreviations as they were in the original nor have I substituted numbers for text formats when it comes to dates. Also, I have used uppercase for all surnames to make them stand out.

NOTE: This deed is one of a pair – the following deed is Deed 1834 8 204. I can’t claim to follow all the ins and outs. The names PARKER and BARKER are used interchangeably in the Memorial. Looking at the COI BMDs, it could be either, but I suspect BARKER is the more likely name. This deed references previous deeds. I have assembled a separate page including the history of leases as well as a tentative family tree: JACKSONs of Nashe's Quarters.       

 

SYNOPSIS attempt of Deed 1834-8-203:

Henry JACKSON paid Henry NOBLETT 565.7.3 & another £40.18.0 for a release of a mortgage for land that was already in possession of Henry JACKSON, Farmer of Coolmana. What I do not understand is that the following deed seems to go in reverse – the lands going from Henry JACKSON to Thomas NOBLETT. Clearly, I could never make my living as a lawyer! The lands included:

PRONI T808 includes a collection of JACKSON related records collected as part of the Groves Manuscripts. Of particular interest when it comes to Co. Carlow is the mention of the following deeds:

A true copy.



[1] Estyer [Esther?] JACKSON. I am guessing that this would be Esther sr, wife of Samuel JACKSON who was deceased by 1834. She was the mother of Esther JACKSON who married Joseph BRIEN and also mother of Henry JACKSON jr.

[2] Joseph BRIEN husband of Esther JACKSON jr. daughter of Samuel JACKSON and Esther sr.

[3] Thomas NOBLETT. Merchant. He is described as a hotel keeper of Hacketstown in the Church of Ireland records of the marriage of his daughter Rachel NOBLETT in 1845. NOTE: An email from "Jean" July 10, 2010 adds a bit more: Rachel Noblett was my gt gt grandmother's sister. Shortly after she married Thomas James they relocated to NY (Buffalo; Erie County etc.)  Rachel and Thomas appear to be the first to leave Ireland for the US. They appear in the 1850 NY census. Three years later, Rachel's brother, John Barker Noblett arrived with his wife, Ellen Ebbs, and 1st child, John Ebbs Noblett. Two other brothers, Thomas and William ended up in Illinois (Chicago & Springfield.) Susannah and George went to Australia. Thomas' first wife was Alice STEWART. They married in 1802. I don't know how many of Thomas' children were from this marriage. I have four....Robert, George, Elizabeth and Martha Kate for whom I don't have birth information. Thomas & Alice were only married 4 years before Alice died.

[4] Hacketstown,

[5] Henry JACKSON. He appears as a witness to marriages in the Carlow Church of Ireland records, but is otherwise invisible in Carlow records. NOTE: I will next look carefully at Dublin records. He is a witness for Rachel NOBLETT, daughter of Thomas NOBLETT for her marriage to Thomas JAMES in 1845. He is also a witness for Henry LAMOTTE in his marriage to Charlotte LEE in 1846. In 1814, a birth of a William JACKSON born to Henry & Mary JACKSON is recorded in Carlow Parish Church. There is a burial of a Mary JACKSON (177-1837) of Blacklion in the Aghold Parish Church.

[6] Coolmana

[7] Nashe’s Quarters. By the time of Griffiths Valuation, this was the official name of this land.

[8] Long Meadow

[9] Andrew STEWART. It may be that he connected to the earlier STUARTS of Co. Carlow.

[10] Thomas JACKSON. I believe he was a brother of Samuel JACKSON and hence an uncle of Henry JACKSON sr. of Coolmana and father of Henry JACKSON jr.

[11] Soliska aka Loliska aka Stralusk, Parish of Haroldstown, Barony of Rathvilly, Co. Carlow

[12] Francis JONES

[13] Samuel JACKSON. I suspect he was a son of Joseph & Rachel JACKSON and the father of Henry JACKSON sr.

[14] George BARKER aka PARKER A 1722 Deed: 76-2-52415 may shed light on the roots of this family: Lease whereby Benjamin BURTON of City of Dublin Esq. Did demise and set to Joseph BARKER of Cronesagh in the Co of Carlow Farmer all that part of Eagle Hill  mearing and bounding on the north with Hacketstown on the east with Ballysallagh on the south with Cronesagh and on the west with Constable Hill containing by estimation 119 acres Plantation Measure... part of Lordship of Clonmore... Barony Rathvilly ... lives of George BARKER 3rd son of John BARKER of Old Court in Co. Wicklow aged about 8 years Simon BARKER 4th son of said John BAKER [BARKER?] aged about 5 years and Thomas BAKER [BARKER?] the youngest son of Joseph BAKER [BARKER?] aged about half a year.... in presence of Henry WHITESTONE of Hacketstown and Patrick KAHOE then servant to the said Benjamin BURTON

[15] Joseph JACKSON

[16] William MOORE

[17] Charles’s Park

[18] Widow Murphy

[19] River Dereen

[20] George PARKER aka BARKER

[21] Joseph BARKER aka Joseph PARKER

[22] Rachel JACKSON. Unfortunately, the name “Rachel JACKSON” is not unusual. Given the involvement in various deeds of the BARKER or PARKER family, it is possible that her maiden name would be either BARKER or PARKER. It is not impossible that she was a JACKSON before her marriage as there was a Rachel JACKSON, daughter of Roger JACKSON. She was b. Mar 25, 1700 – baptised at Tullow. In the Quaker tree, there is also a Rachel JACKSON (1684-1686) b: 23 Mar 1684 d: 28 Apr 1686.

[23] Straluska  aka Stralusky

[24] Samuel SHARP

[25] Thomas ALCOCK

[26] Valentine KINSHALLA

[27] Widow BYRNE

[28] Abraham PARKER jr. son of Abraham PARKER

[29] Abraham PARKER sr. father of Abraham and Joseph PARKER

[30] Cestui qui vies NOTE: A tenant pur autre vie is in the same position as an ordinary tenant for life except that his leases will determine, not on his own death, but on that of the cestui qui vie, or rather at the expiration of the then current year of the tenancy (b); and he may therefore make a lease to commence after his own death (c). SOURCE: A Manual of the Law of Landlord and Tenant. By Horace Smith, Thomas Spooner Soden, Lewis W. Cove. 1871.

[31] This lease length of 1,000 years is likely helpful to know in terms of tracing this back further.

[32] Lorenzo John WALTERS. A sub sheriff in Enniscorthy. SOURCE: Thom’s Directory of Ireland. Dublin, 1852.

[33] Michael HICKEY. His surname is one of the earlier families to settle in CO. Carlow from England.

[34] Oliver MOORE Esq.
