1782 Sept 7 JACKSON, Robert - OLIVER DEED: 242429 [NOTE: In my transcription - I am unsure about whether it is LEAVER or SEAVER, but Armagh probates indicate SEAVER.
NOTES: Between Robert JACKSON[1] of Town & Co. Armagh Gent of he one part & Arthur OLIVER[2] of Ballinahone begg[3] in said Co. & Sarah SEAVER[4] widow of Charles SEAVER[5] late of Ballynahonebegg aforesaid deceased of the other part. Robert JACKSON was paid £850 by Arthur OLIVER & Sarah SEAVER & did set over to Arthur OLIVER & Sarah SEAVER all that the lands of Ballynahonebegg in Parish of Armagh possessed by Thomas VERNER[6] Esq. The executor of Benjamin OLIVER[7] deceased. The said Sarah LEAVER & other so assigned by Henry HALL[8] & Elinor HALL[9] to the said Robert JACKSON ... lands made over to Robert JACKSON by Edward TIPPING[10] Esq. Which belonged to Michael SEAVER and all Estate right title and interest term of years.. etc. Witness Henry HALL of Aughereny[11] & Co. Tyrone. Benjamine OLIVER[12] of Lislooney[13], CO. Armagh. John BURGES[14] of Armagh, Gent. Arthur OLIVER [SEAL] Sworn Aug 6, 1784.
[1] Robert JACKSON. NOTE: I will add his data later after I have done the JACKSON side of this story.
[2] Arthur OLIVER. He seems to be related to Benjamin OLIVER of
Lislooney. More work on deeds and other resources is
needed.
[3] AKA Ballinahonebeg also known as Ballynahonebeg is a townland in the Parish of Lisnadill bordered by Farmacaffley, The Kennedies, Ballyards, Moneypatrick. Umgola touches at the northern tip. All these townlands are significant with respect to several other OLIVER leases.
[4] Sarah SEAVER. Wife of Charles SEAVER. Sarah SEAVER had a will probated 1792. I wonder if she was an OLIVER or a JACKSON.
[5] Charles SEAVER. NOTE: In 1762, a will for a Charles SEAVER was probated. NOTE: A Nicholas SAVER was registered in the 1663 Hearth Rolls Records at Ballyaghy. I would expect him to be a relation if not also an ancestor.
[6] Thomas VERNER. I have not done any work on this, but VERNER is a name that crops up in many leases both in Armagh & Monaghan.
[7] The mention of Benjamin OLIVER deceased is interesting given the Benjamin OLIVER of Lislooney who was the witness. Perhaps the deceased Benjamin OLIVER was the father of the second Benjamin OLIVER. Also of note, is a William OLIVER of Lislooney DEED 24787 from Nov 23 1723.
[8] Henry HALL
[9] Elinor HALL. I wonder if she night have
been an OLIVER or a JACKSON. There are
unaccounted for “Elinor OLIVERs”.
[10] Edward TIPPING. The TIPPING family was one of the landlord families that the JACKSONs had
other dealings and intermarriages with . SOURCE:
1830 Sept 2nd lease concerning Elizabeth JACKSON (grandmother of Sir
Thoams JACKSON) mentions: Edward Tipping of Mounthill in the County of
Armagh Esquire and Catherine Tipping otherwise Hall his wife. SOURCE: A
Historical & Statistical Account of the Barony of Upper Fews . John
DONALDSON “About the year 1733 several landed proprietors in the Parish of
Creggan – to wit Edward TIPPING, Alex HAMILTON, James McCULLAGH, Adam
NOBLE, and Randle DONALDSON, Esquires invited Presbyterians to settle on their prospective
estates”
[11] Aughereny. This is a townland that does not
occur in modern nomenclature, but it would seem that Clogher Parish would be a
reasonable inference as to its location.
[12] Benjamin OLIVER.
His son was James OLIVER SOURCE:
Deed 534280 April 1824 mentions James
OLIVER of City of Armagh, merchant a son of Benjamin OLIVER who had a lease on
lands in Lislooney. He would also have some relation to Arthur OLIVER. SOURCE:
Deed 1853-10-214 Refers to Lislooney
lands formerly in the possession of Benjamin & Arthur OLIVER
[13] Lislooney is a townland in Tynan Parish – significantly, it is very close to Derryhaw (another townland frequently referred to in OLIVER leases of the time).
