JACKSONs of Co Down
This tree has been patched together using the glue of at least half a dozen hunches. Each entry is no better than the source material that buttresses it. As with many JACKSON pedigrees, I would advise caution. As I learn more, I will improve on the level of verification and add sources as I learn of them.
There are also sites that specialize in the histories of both Stonewall JACKSON and President Andrew JACKSON. I have included some links to them beneath. These sites will do a more complete job of adding details to this part of the history. With respect to these two men, my aim has been focused more on the likelihood of their links back to various JACKSON lines in Ireland. This means that I have spent little attention to their consequent American and Canadian descendants. Also, there are others who have done that better than I ever could.
The main source material used in assembling this tree has come from:
1 Hugh Jackson b: in ,,,No. Ireland d: Abt. 1786 in ,,,No. Ireland
..... 2 Hugh Jackson
............. 3 [2] James Jackson b: Abt. 1780

..... 2 James (Samuel?) Jackson
..... 2 Andrew Jackson b: Abt. 1730 in ,,,No. Ireland d: Abt. March 01, 1767 in Waxhaws
The initial JACKSON ancestor that starts this tree differs from versions of this tree cited in Burkes[1], in The Library of Congress and many of the Quaker JACKSON records. These other versions all allege that three brothers, sons of Sir Anthony JACKSON (1599-1666; a Church of England royalist), came to Ireland with Cromwell and were awarded land grants. According to these trees, the John JACKSON became a Presbyterian while his brothers Anthony JACKSON and Richard JACKSON became Quakers (although such trees usually acknowledge that there is no slam dunk proof that Anthony and Richard were even brothers). Over the past hundred years, there has been considerable doubt about the connection of Sir Anthony JACKSON to these three men and I will explore the history of that in a separate article. In the meantime, the way that the commonly accepted version of how the JACKSONs of Killingswold morphed into the trees of various Quaker JACKSONs can be seen on my site: The Quaker JACKSONs.
Descendants of Robert JACKSON
1 Robert JACKSON[2] b: “of the North Tyne Borders” d: probably in Parish of Dundonald, Co. Down
........ 2 John JACKSON[3] NOTE: Although many pedigrees have him b: 1624 in Eccleston, Lancashire, England this presumes that his father was Sir Anthony JACKSON. If he wasn’t, then I would suspect that an Ulster birth is more likely. d: 1679 in probably Co. Down

................................. +Elizabeth VANCE[9] NOTE: Various sites suggest that Joseph married once, twice or three times. Since source are lacking, I am keeping it simple here – although a third wife being Lady Mary CARR[10] is totally credible.

[2] Robert JACKSON NOTE: In most genealogies, the John JACKSON who I am showing here as a son of this Robert JACKSON was linked as a brother of Anthony JACKSON and Richard JACKSON and all of them were alleged to be sons of Anthony JACKSON. If it turns out that this John JACKSON is a son of this Robert JACKSON, then we have a more credible explanation of who the Quaker JACKSONs may have been - if indeed they were his brothers.
· D.J. McCarthy, The Ulster Jacksons, Carrickfergus Borough Council, Belfast, 1997, 39, "Robert Jackson of the North Tyne Borders in 1606 settled at Loughgall, Co. Armagh. His older brother at Tandragee." NOTE: Much of this information was based on a family recollections.

Of 1st part & Thomas JACKSON of same, Gent of the other part... refers to a 1 Nov 1677 deed between James ROSSE of the one pt. & the said John JACKSON lands of Ballyreagan formerly possessed by John DENHAM & all land of Ballyreagan formerly possessed by Robert JACKSON father of said John JACKSON, Parish Dundonald, Co. Dorone ... Thomas JACKSON. WITNESS James RATCLIFFE of Belfast, Co. Antrim, clothier; Andrew WALKER of Dundonald, Co. Down, yeoman; Richard LOWDER of Belfast, Gent. Thomas JACKSON [SEAL]. NOTE: I still need to read this entire deed to see if there are more clues to be found. The notes on it come from PRONI T808.
· PRONI, T808/8179 The mention of Robert JACKSON here is interesting: Chancery Bill 7 November 1677 Thomas AIKEN James CHALMERS and John ADAMS of Belfast town County Antrim merchants versus John BIGGER of Belfast town merchant lessee from Arthur late Earl of Donegal of premises in & near Belfast.

· Katherine Hoagland, Family Origins, John JACKSON was born in 1624 in St. Michaels Par, Eccleston, Lancastershire, England. John Jackson, son of Anthony Jackson II, became the head of a longline of Jacksons which came to include Andrew Jackson, who gained fame in the Second War against England, 1812-1814, and later became the seventh President of the United States, and Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson, who is remembered as one of the greatest Generals of the Civil War.

His will mentions two sons and a daughter living at the time of the will was made, of whom the youngest son: ...,” NOTE: Much of the rest of this document as to the descendants of John JACKSON is reasonably accurate as near as I can tell. It is worth emphasising that the name "John" in this record was followed by a question mark.

The will, Volume A. p. 57, of James Wilson of Franklin County, Pennsylvania, lists Ruth Wilson Vance, her brother Robert Wilson and other children. David had two brothers. John remained in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Patrick moved to Knox County, Tennessee in the early 1790s. His will is filed there. David (1736-1800) was the son of John Vance, who was born in Coagh, Ireland, and Mary Williamson who was born in Antrim, Ireland. David also had a sister, Elizabeth Vance who married Hugh Jackson.

[10] Mary CARR. Either a daughter of or sister of James CARR (depending on the source). Both may be true. I have not checked out CARR pedigrees. She and Joseph JACKSON had a daughter Margaret JACKSON. Also, Mary CARR had a previous husband (also named JACKSON) and she had a son Hugh JACKSON by him – as if there were not enough Hugh JACKSONs in the mix already!

Jackson, Esq. ... but his third wife was Lady Mary Carr, sister of Lord James Carr. She first married a man by the name of Jackson and had one son — Hugh.

Firstly, his birth date as given in some sources does not fit with the alleged parentage (see note beneath). Secondly, there is no mention in America of the medical training that he supposedly had. I am guessing that he might not turn out to be the same John JACKSON who was the great grandfather of Stonewall JACKSON although I am keeping him here until I learn more.

[23] Elizabeth CUMMINGS
· JACKSON Brigade Inc. Genealogical Association for Descendants of John Jackson (1715-1801), "Elizabeth Cummins was a strong-willed Englishwoman from London. She was raised by a maiden aunt, who upon her death left Elizabeth one thousand pounds sterling. She set off to America with her inheritance, met and married John Jackson in Cecil County, Maryland. (The legend that she fled England after throwing a tankard of ale at a King's soldier in her aunt's tavern is a little more exciting, but has been fairly well proven to be fanciful.) She is described as being rather masculine in stature, quite intelligent, and as having a great deal of courage and strong character. She fought off Indian attacks and patented 3,000 acres of land in her own name and paid for them herself." [N3] Elizabeth Cummins is considered a Patriot of the American Revolution by the Daughters of the American Revolution (D. A. R.) as she, while her husband and sons were away, fought at Jackson's Fort. [N4] Jackson's Fort has a nice ring to it, however, as pointed out by McWhorter, "Jackson's Fort [and others] were probably only strategic and strongly built dwellings or block houses, where the immediate inhabitants fled on occasion of sudden alarms, and where scouts had regular places of meeting." [N5] "There was a block house about three miles west of Bush's Fort, on Fink's Run .... It was built by some of the Jacksons on land now [1915] owned by Mr. Martin Reger. Prof. Maxwell refers to this building as "Jackson's Fort." History of Randolph County, West Va, p. 414. It could hardly be termed a fort, in the sense of that word. It was only a block house, or a strongly built two-story log dwelling without a palisade; and never figured as a defensive stronghold." [N6]
