Tullyagomore, (bordered by Tulleyagallaghan and  Curromonon.

1787 July 9 Indenture David JACKSON and John BOHANNON. David Jackson of Liscalgot renting land of Tullyagomore. Term of 31 years. Dorsey & Ummericam are to the north-east of Urcher, and my hunch is that his land would be near the border of Dorsey & Tullynaval aka Tullinaval aka Drumill. NOTE: There was a Richard JACKSON of Tullyvallen,Parish of Newtownhamilton, Co. Armagh in the 1776 religious census, and these two JACKSON lines seem related. SEE: Tullyvallen JACKSONs for other potential links. NOTE: Apparently, Dorsey, Ummericam and Tullyogallaghan  “are all listed as aliases for the one townland” SOURCE: The O'Neills of the Fews Tomás Ó Fiaich, Seanchas Ardmhacha: Journal of the Armagh Diocesan Historical Society, Vol. 7, No. 2 (1974), pp. 263-315

1817 August 20 Inventory of the possessions of John JACKSON of Urker. John JACKSON died June 20, 1817 at the age of 37. He left three daughters and one son. His son David, who would become the father of Sir Thomas JACKSON, was three years old at the time. It is curious that the Baptismal registry at Creggan Church shows one daughter, Elizabeth Johanna JACKSON, being baptised on June 20, 1817 - the day of her father’s death. His wife was Elizabeth McCULLAGH. At Tullygallaghan he had cows, horses, fowl & geese worth £95.6.3.

His household goods. These indicate the kinds of furnishings that would go with a one story typical Irish cottage.

Urker

I am obliged to call now on the Tenantry for the Rent. I got your farm surveyed again since I saw you that I might ascertain the arable land, the spent bog and the Fuel Bog – I find that there are 29a-2r in your arable and you were charged only for 20a-2r in the old lease – you will now be charged in the new lease for 29a-2r - & if you like to attach the spent bog – perhaps my Nephew may include it in the lease – but I can’t say – it contains 1a-1r-20p – so that I think if you pay the Landlord for 30 acres at 25 he may be satisfied & you then get 3a-20r over = If it was for my own child I would advise it - & therefore recommend it to you for Davy … The Turf in measurement contains 2a 1r=10p but I think you have not all this – the ___ter [Charter?] Land is 1a-1r= making in all 34a1r3Vp= which the map will show you

Kiltybane

1867 June 28– a mystery involving Elizabeth JACKSON of Fernglenn, Newtownhamilton – who is she? I believe that this may be Elizabeth JACKSON (1788-1880) The clue was in the death notice of William R. BROWNE (1841-1862) The Belfast News-Letter (Belfast, Ireland), Friday, April 18, 1862;Issue 15254. Brown - April 12, at Newry, Mr. Wm. R. Brown, eldest son of the Rev.D. G. Brown, Fernglen, Newtownhamilton, aged 21 years. I suspect she was residing with her daughter, Margaret JACKSON, wife of Daniel Gunn BROWNE.

Urker

Letter from Eliza JACKSON. There has been word of late about the purchase of Urker; but sooner or later it will probably be sold, as there is a great difficulty in getting any rent. It would not do for us to seem anxious about the purchase; if so, they would want two prices. [My NOTE: The lease was held in 1856 by Thomas P. BALL and likely still was.

List of lands owned by Sir Thomas JACKSON. I am assuming that the list was written about 1915. This list of lands had to have been prepared after 1903 (when Sir Thomas Jackson became a Baronet) and before or shortly after his death in 1915. It may have been a list prepared at the time of his will probate. We also know that he owned the Cavananore lands at least by the time of the 1901 census and likely (judging from mentions in family correspondence) as early as 1892. In all, there are about 450 acres of land
