There were several known Francis JACKSONs in Ireland in the mid to late 1600s. This chart is to help me to better identify them.
Sharon Oddie Brown. March 20, 2021 Update March 21, 20201 A few more of my notes added. Update: March 29, 2021.

 

Mentions of Francis JACKSON in Indexes to Irish Court Records -compiled by Dr Francis Crosslé (1847-1910) and his son Philip Crosslé (1875-1953) in the late 19th century. The main focus of Dr. Francis Crosslé was on Newry and places nearby. His focus on JACKSONs was more far-ranging and included notes on many JACKSONs in counties in the south.
NOTE: The use of the abbreviation of "Ans" means that the suit was merely answered to in court. It does not indicate who was either the winner or the loser. The yellow highlighting is simply to help me to not lose track of what I want to stay focused on at the moment.

Index to Chancery Pleadings 1665-1659

169a. Francis JACKSON, Roger JACKSON, John CONWAY, Alice his wife & Ellen JACKSON sister to said Francis JACKSON v. Abraham ALLEN. Bill 29 June 1658 Ans Jul 1658. NOTE: Possibly Roger JACKSON (1620-1694) of Lisburn. The Lisburn connection also suggests a connection to Mary E. JACKSON, widow of Michael JACKSON (d. bef 1709). SEE: Will of Mary E. JACKSON where there is also mention of Lord CONWAY aka Francis Seymour CONWAY.

p130a ffrancis JACKSON Gent v Sir Arthur CHICHESTER and James DOWDALL. Bill 13 Nov 1663 both on 26 Mar 1664 [?] 12 May 1664. SEE: Sir Arthur CHICHESTER thepeerage.com. His family is joined by marriage to the JACKSONs of Edderthorpe. This makes the Francis JACKSON (b 1610) who is a member of this family a possibility. He died 1668 at Hooten-Paynell, Yorkshire, England and was part of the JACKSONs of Edderthorpe, as was Sir Bradwardine JACKSON who held leases in Ireland and was a son of Sir John JACKSON (1653-1679) of Hickleton. This family had a family crest that included three sheldrakes as did the JACKSONs of Coleraine. NOTE: It is possible that Alice, wife of John CONROY was also a JACKSON.

p95a Francesse JACKSON v George SANKEY, Edward FITZGERALD, Taige O’CORRUGAINE & Charles Bane CONNOR Bill 21 Jun 1669

NOTE: In the Down Survey, Lt. Col. William PUREFOY held 5 leases to lands in Kings Co. in 1670: Clonbullogue; Ballinowlart; Clonmel; Cloncant aka Clonebolge & Cloonemore; Ballydermot. All had been held previously by Thomas FITZGARRETT, the Catholic landowner in 1641. Captain Peter PUREFOY held 9 townlands which were grouped in two clusters. The northerly cluster had been held by Nicholas SANKEY and then by PUREFOY. The southern cluster by Charles CONNOR in 1641 and then by PUREFOY in joint ownership with Lord John KINGSTON & Ralph ROCKFORD. Thomas FITZGARRETT was the same Catholic landlord whose adjacent townland of Clonad was granted to Francis JACKSON. William PUREFOY (1584-1659) had a stepson George ABBOTT, but no surviving children of his own. His lands went to his nephew William PUREFOY.

206a Sarah SHORTE v Francis JACKSON & Dorcas his wife Bill 23 Dec 1680 no ans. NOTE: Francis JACKSON & Dorcas GREEN married 12 February 1676.  Betham Abstracts: Francis JACKSON of City of Dublin Gent & Dora [Dorcas] GREENE of the same widow dated 12 February 1676. He died abt 1680. Betham Abstracts:. Francis JACKSON of St. Patricks Close Gent 10 Dec 1680 18 June 1686 Wife Dorcas [GREENE] Daughter Jeane Son Nicholas. SEE: ROD: 2-44-250 Jan 11, 1708 are somehow connected to this family. Dorcas GREEN married Francis JACKSON in 1676, and the will of Francis JACKSON, a clothier, was probated in 1696. SOURCE: NA Ireland. Green Mss/III/I/p43. Doc # 27960. I do not yet know how it connects, and whether Francis JACKSON (?-abt 1696) may also be related to Michael JACKSON the clothier of nearby Pimlico. The land was described as: all those houses tanyards, backside gardens, backhouses, stables & Appurtenances held by George BLACKHALL on the south side of the Upper Comb in the Liberties of Thomas Court & Donore, Dublin,  containing breadth in the front 93 ft or thereabouts, in the rere.. and in depth to Mutton Lane of 312 ft… during natural lives of Dorcus JACKSON, wife of the late Francis JACKSON & Jane her daughter, wife of the said George [BLACKHALL] & Mary JACKSON grand daughter to the said Francis JACKSON. A map drawn in 1749 shows a portion of that parcel owned by a person named Vicars, possibly a son (William VICARS) of the Joyce JACKSON, daughter of Robert & Joyce, who married Jeremiah VICARS. None of the land is still held by JACKSONs. SEE: JACKSONs of Crooked Staff

Francis GORE (1660/64-abt 1701) – a son of Sir Francis GORE (-1713) married a Richard JACKSON d btw 1737-1740. We do not yet know who the parents of Richard JACKSON were. Their son was Rev. William JACKSON (abt 1737-1795). This may be a clue to where to look for a link – once I can place Francis GORE & Jane GORE.

NOTE: At first, I had transcribed Frances JACKSON as Francis JACKSON. There is a dot over the 2nd last letter in the given forename. Also, I did have a James Francis JACKSON listed as a member of this family based on an entry in: Clergy of Dublin and Glendalough ed. W.J.R. Wallace, Ulster Historical Society, 2001. SEE: JACKSONs of Derbyshire, Berkshire, America & Dublin. I will double check this entry next time I can access this book. Francis JACKSON may have died before his father Rev John JACKSON (1688-1751). SEE ALSO: PRONI T1203/16. A Pedigree of the Jacksons of Clansagh near Santry, Co. Dublin complied by J.
