Belfast News Notes 2010Dec13.
NOTE: My primary goal here was to note JACKSONs, but I also picked up a few other stray bits that interested me for one reason or another.
NOTE: In articles that have long lists of names, I have sorted them alphabetically – which is not how they were printed in the paper, but it makes it easier to avoid eyeball burn out.

Mrs. JACKSON at Drogheda, widow of counsellor JACKSON late of Creekstown in the County of Meath. |
NOTE: Since the Urker JACKSONs had enough of a link to Drogheda that one of them would pay to have the family crest erected on City Hall, this one is worth pursuing. |

Wednesday night a terrible robbery was perpetrated at Rockvale near Mallow, the seat of the Rev. Mr. John Oliver, by a number of the Levellers in their white uniforms; people who ascribe to themselves the office of relieving the poor from oppressions, and or redressing public grievances. Six of the villains entered the house, and confined all the servants in a room (from one of which they took six guineas and some change) while they plundered the house. Mr. Oliver who had been from home on a visit has offered a reward for apprehending the parties concerned. ... They [the prisoners} were brought on board the revenue barge from Youghal, by Mr. William Jackson, surveyor.... |
This would have the Ven. John Oliver, Archdeacon of Ardagh and was an attack by the Whiteboys.

Henry JACKSON Iron Monger (who served his apprenticeship to Mr. Richard Bolton, &c.) Hath opened shop in Pill Lane, opposite Bull Lane, Dublin, where he has laid in a large assortment of Iron Monger’s Ware, for ready Money, which enables him to sell on such terms as must be pleasing to the Buyer. Said Jackson has engaged the only Man now in Dublin capable of smithing large Beams, and has now ready for sale, a good assortment of each Kind, viz, Dutch, English, and Wheel Form; with all sorts of Grocers, Silk and Money Scales, with weights suitable for each, of Iron, Brass & etc. Which |
This is the Henry JACKSON (1750-1817) who was charged with treason because of his United Irishmen involvement. I find it intriguing that he is only aged 17 when he opens this shop. This foundry was probably one of the places where his supporters fabricated pike pole heads in the late 1700s to use against government troops. |

Early on Monday morning, the 6th inst, died, at Coleraine, Mrs. Ann Jackson, lady to the Right Hon. Richard Jackson; and most deservedly and deeply lamented by rich and poor; but chiefly by a fond and affectionate husband, whose grief and affliction is beyond description, forther than by saying that it is in a measure proportioned to his loss, which is immense and irreparable. |
I believe this is Anne JACKSON née O’NEILL |
2 - 6 Sept. 1791 |
Whereas on Friday the 26th instant between the hours of 10 and 11 o'clock at night, the house of Martha Coulter of Cavanamore, in the County of Louth, was broken open and robbed of 15 guineas, and several articles of plate, viz. 6 tablespoons, 5 teaspoons, a tray, a pair of salts, parish of sugar tongs, a punch ladle, and a pair of shoe buckles, most of them marked J. M. B. Now we whose names are here unto subscribed to promise to pay the several sums to our names annexed to any person or persons who shall in the space of six months from the date hereof, discover on and prosecute to conviction, the person or persons concerned in said robbery; and if any of the persons concerned shall make a discovery so that his or their accomplices may be prosecuted to conviction, they will not only be entitled to the reward, but application shall be made for his Majesty's most gracious pardon. – 20th August, 1791. |

On Friday last at the seat of Mrs. Jackson near Dundalk, was married by special licence the Right Hon. Lord Gormanstown, to the Hon Miss Southwell, with a fortune of 20,000l. It may not be unworthy of remark, that the ages of this truly amiable couple do not exceed thirty-five years. |
NOTE: This marriage was only at the seat of Mrs. JACKSON. I suspect she was the widow Nichola Ann Cecil JACKSON née HAMILTON (d. abt 1804). The Right Hon. Lord Gormanstown,, who was Jenico PRESTON, 12th Viscount Gormanstown (1775-1860) married the Hon Margaret SOUTHWELL in 1794. |
16 - 20 Mar. 1795 |

A fulsome praise from the inhabitants of Forhill to which Mrs. Jackson replied: ... I am greatly gratified by the opportunity I have had of serving them. Forkhill Lodge. |

Thomas Prentice Witness: Knows Jackson to be a young man of integrity, much attached to truth and of peaceable manners ... Long article, quality of film not great – otherwise I would have printed it. |
NOTE: I need to check this out, but he could be the John JACKSON (1773-1832) who emigrated to America. He would have been a nephew of Henry JACKSON (1750-1817). |

Samuel MONTGOMERY, Dr. Inoculated 800-900 children without having one death.
In our paper of Friday last we copied from a British Newspaper the death of Captain William O’Neil, said to be a nephew of the late Lord O’Neil – we are assured the late Lord O’Neil had but one nephew, for instance, the present Major Jackson, one of the members for the borough of Randalstown – consequently the said publication is founded in error, so far as it relates to the late Lord O’Neil. |
This may be Robert JACKSON, although he was a Lieut-Col who died after 1798. He was the son of Richard JACKSON & Anne O’NEILL. She was the daughter of Charles O’NEILL of Shanes Castle. |
