Jackson family crest, coat of arms

My Family Silver. Keswick, Cumberland, and Oxfordshire. A Sun Or, In Flames Ppr. Fairbairn's Book of Crests, 1905 ed. NOTE: This matches the version of what was on the grave marker of James JACKSON d 1711.

The box tomb where James Jackson (1648-1711) was buried at Movilla included the "arms": A chevron with three mullets and in the base a hand holding a sword.  NOTE: What is intriguing is that this description is the same as the BENNETT-JACKSONs. Of Glanbeg & Ballyduff. It is not impossible that this could mean a link between the tree of Jacksons of Co. Down and the Jacksons of Waterford & Cork

Jacob Jackson of Kildare originally from Derbyshire has the same family crest as our own family silverware which also attached to Page 184 Jacob Jackson. I will attach a couple of photos of a piece of this. The silverware has a silverware marking of 1820 Dublin. The motto was Bear and Forebear. I don't know if this is of interest to you or not? I also am following the possible lead of Deeds of Memorial of the lease of lands from the Barony of Talbotstown that have connection to Jacob Jackson (of Pg 184?) and Rev Richard Baldwin, Provost of Trinity College. I hoping this may connect. SOURCE: Meg Vernall email Jan 30, 2021

 

 

 

Family crests and mottos can offer clues for a paper trail that can verify family heritage. With that in mind, our family lore alleges that the sheldrake[1]  in the arms of Sir Thomas JACKSON of Stansted House came from an earlier JACKSON family crest – and that the world was added beneath it to show his global reach[2]. Since various birds in dozens of JACKSON crests can be seen to morph from one kind of bird into another over succeeding generations, I have decided that there is only one approach that makes sense to me –and that is to check out the whole darned flock. There are at least 54 different JACKSON crests described by Bernard Burke in his The General Armory of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.Vol II and 29 of them include birds – frequently in threes. I’ll start with our crest.

INSERT JACKSON CREST:

 

JACKSON of Stansted House:

 

ARMS: Ermine on a pile azure between two fountains in base proper a Sheldrake or. CREST: Upon a fountain proper a Sheldrake or. MOTTO Aut Mors aut Vitoria (Either death or victory).

 

Supposedly, the ancestor of this family came from Yorkshire in Oliver Cromwell’s Army and was granted lands in Co. Carlow for his services. The estate, called Mt. Leinster, was sold in 1745 by his descendant GEORGE JACKSON (1728-1782) to settle gambling debts. He then settled at Liscalgot and then Urker, both near Crossmaglen, Co. Armagh[3].

 

MOTTO: The motto on this crest is a curious one. I could not find a record of it in any previous JACKSON family crests, nor in any other English or Irish arms. "Aut Mors Aut Victoria". It can be translated as: "Either death or victory".  This motto does show up these days as a slogan in violent video games with frequent links to sites that are in either Russian or Polish (I speak neither). Prior to that, the only usage that I have been able to find was an inscription on US banknotes from about 1776-1778 from the colonies of South Carolina and Georgia[4]. These notes were backed by Spanish silver. Perhaps this influenced the choice of motto. Our Sir Thomas was so brilliant at managing silver trades for the HSBC in the late 1800s that he was nicknamed “Lucky Jackson”. Perhaps he also liked the revolutionary edge that such a slogan might have  – used at the time of American revolution at a time when many of his close family members were part of the struggle for rights in Ireland. This is all conjecture, but Sir Thomas was also known for frequent “tongue-in-cheek” gestures so it he had any say in it, I wouldn’t put it past him.

 

THE BIRD: The Sheldrake and Shoveller are scarce in British Armoury. The former is very similar to the common duck, but of more varied colour. The latter is of the same species, and may be known by a long tuft on the breast and another on the head[5].

 

RED HAND OF ULSTER: Since 1922 all new and reconfigured Baronets in Great Britain use the Red Hand of the  O'Niells to indicate they are Baronets in North Ireland as well as  in other  components of Great Britain. The use of the Red Hand of Ulster with a family crest is not indicative of an Ulster heritage, only that the peerage is recognized in the North Of Ireland[6]. I have no idea whether the Red Hand of Ulster in this crest, included at a time that precedes this practice, has any other meaning.

 

JACKSON crests that have shovellers or possibly related birds on their crest. As I mentioned, 29 of the 54 JACKSON crests described by Burkes contain at least one and frequently three birds[7]. When it comes to our detective work, hopefully birds of a feather fly together. A genealogy prepared by Mary L. Jackson in 1925 traces a line of JACKSONs whose crests included various shoveller/sheldrake-like birds. She notes:

 
THE Jackson family was anciently established in Yorkshire, some members of which settled in the South of Scotland. There were other families of Jackson, in other parts — notably that derived from the great Norman house of Lasalles, but of no blood connection with this one. This particular family is traceable to a common origin by means of a similarity of coat-armour among its scattered branches, which have been recorded from time to time, showing the basic theme of development to have been a fosse between three birds. In some cases these three birds were shovellers, in others, shadrakes, hawks, and jackdaws[8]. 

 

There are a number of JACKSON families with connections to Ireland in Mary L. Jackson’s tree, either through marriage, residency or both. Many of them also show up in Burke’s and other such records. Her is what I have been able to amass about them so far – and their potential links.\

SEE: JACKSONs of Kirkby Lonsdale, Westmorland and Coleraine, Londonderry This branch of JACKSONs starts in Kirkby Lonsdale with William JACKSON (?-1626) and connects to significant players during the Siege of Derry amongst other events. It is also the family tree that leads to Richard JACKSON of Forkhill. George JACKSON (1766-1840) was probably born in Coleraine. He died in Belgium.

NOTE: I have misplaced this reference.]. There is a listed farmhouse at Killingswoldgraves, Bishop Burton East riding of Yorkshire circa 1700. There were also JACKSONs of Killingswoldgraves who were in the yeoman class and therefore more likely to be the ones who were Quakers than the ones who were nobility.

Research by Jan Waugh has linked this to Thomas JACKSON, b abt 1575 in Lancashire, England, educated at Cambridge & buried 13 Nov 1646 at Canterbury Cathedral. He was the master of St. John's Hospital. SOURCE: email Aug 13, 2011

SEE: Jacksons of Canterbury & Nantwich England and Co. Cork, Ireland. This Family tree starts in Lancashire with the 1571 birth of Rev. Thomas JACKSON. He became the prebendary of Canterbury Cathedral and was a grandfather of Lodowick JACKSON of Youghall Co. Cork who served as a customs and paymaster in the mid-1600s. In the 1640s, Rev.

SEE: Preston History. Richard Jackson was landlord of the White Bull  in Church Street (later the Bull and Royal) Preston (see plan), from at least 1684, when he is mentioned in Lawrence Rawstorne‘s diary entry for November. He would appear to have arrived in Preston sometime between the 1662 and 1682 guilds, as no Jacksons appear in the rolls for the first and a Richard Jackson is recorded as a new burgess in the latter

Died from fall from horse.  "The only other item I may have on Captain Thomas Jackson is a crest on a signet ring. My uncle, who was Archdeacon of Toronto Cathedral, sent me an impression of my grand father's signet ring. This is a charging horse (" a horse current arg., guttee-de-sang"). Using Fairbairns Crests I was able to trace the crest to Jacksons who lived in Cumberland, Sunderland County Durham, Bedale Yorkshire and Combhay Devonshire. So possibly Thomas Jackson came from a family who lived in one of those places

Ducks, (fr. canard): We find this very large family(anatinœ) represented in heraldry under several names. The duck proper, as also the drake. The shield-drake, or sheldrake, as it is written (anas tadorna). The wild-duck (anas boschas), with the teal (anas crecea) and the mallard. What is meant by the sea-teal is not certain. The sholarde, or shoveller (anas clypeata) may be distinguished by two small tufts of feathers, one on the back of the head, another on their breast.

Jacksons of Duddington – Note the tie in to Jackson of Eagle House – three eagles heads.

Also note link to HAWKINS. Also note that there are Duddington JACKSON links to Ireland noted in Manuscripts Sources for the History of Irish Civilization.

 

Jackson of Forkhill – three shovellers tufted on the head and breast. Part of the Coleraine JACKSON tree.

 

Jackson of Coleraine: Jackson -- Coleraine, County Londonderry; fun. Established 1688, William Jackson, son of Rev. Richard Jackson of Whittington County Lancaster by Dorothy Otway wife, daughter of Sir John Otway knight of Ingmire. Gu a fess betw. Three cormorants ar.

 

Jackson of Ballybay – (NOTE: The following is thanks to the thorough investigation by Bill Farrell and other members of his extended family) Going from a picture on the family silver, which shows three eagles and the motto Virtute et Valore, it would suggest a connection of the Ballybay JACKSONs to:

 

  1. Sir John Jackson, an Irish gentleman, who fought under the Black Prince, and was knighted on the battlefield of Crecy. One version of the family history suggests that the Hugh JACKSON of Lisbanoe was either the son or grandson of this Sir John JACKSON. A stone slab set in the chimney is inscribed "Built by John Jackson 1709. This John Jackson was possibly either the son or nephew of Sir John Jackson. Sir John JACKSON was not only a knight but was also a Major General in the army of Charles I. He was taken prisoner by Cromwell at Limerick and died in 1673. Arms granted him by Charles I in 1641: "Or - a chev. indented gul between three eaglet heads arared Sable." Sir John was the son of Thomas Jackson and Mary Wilson; he son of Thomas; he son of Robert; he son of John." 
  2. Susie Jackson Harris suggests: "First coat of arms of Jacksons - Granted by Queen Elizabeth -Argent - a lion gules - on a chief of the second - three pole axes of the first - Crest - a bald coot - Present coat - Or - A chevron indented gules - between three eagles heads erased sable - Crest - two eagles heads erased - above two boars feame - Motto - Virtute et Valore. 
  3. PEPPARD (Cappagh House, co. Limerick). Az. two bars or, the upper charged with three fleur-de-lis, the under with as many martlets gu. on a canton of the third cinquefoil ar. Crest - In front of three ostrich feathers ar. and az. a greyhound courant ppr. Motto - Virtute et valore. This intrigues me because of the close business and family connections between PEPPARDs and JACKSONs of Drogheda in the mid to late 1700s at Drogheda.
  4. It is noted that this crest is almost identical with that of Sir John Jackson of Harralton, County Durham - knighted by King Charles I - Major General in King Charles Army. Eldest son of Thomas JACKSON, he died 1673. Arms granted by Charles in 1641. His crest differed from the present Jackson crest - is a double headed eagle - no motto.

Many people of the same surname will often be entitled to completely different coats of arms, and many of that surname will be entitled to no coat of arms. Coats of arms belong to individuals. For any person to have a right to a coat of arms they must either have had it granted to them or be descended in the legitimate male line from a person to whom arms were granted or confirmed in the past.

Finally a line of this family that claimed a baronetcy was seated at Beach Hill, Surrey, with the following arms: Gules, a fesse between three shovelers tufted on head and breast, argent, each shoveler charged with a trefoil, slipped vert. But it is to the branch of this family known as the Jacksons of Doncaster that John Jackson and his descendants belong.

The parish registers exhibit memorials of them from the year 1542."
