Quaker JACKSON s[1] (GREER connected)
NOTE: Since my prime interests rest in Ireland, I will not be footnoting all the American JACKSONs at this time. If there turns out to be a connection to our JACKSONs in Ireland, then I will then take the time to add them in. As Edmund T. BEWLEY points out, the first 4 generations may be more fanciful than fact. Also, as I work my way through Ireland-related Deeds and other such sources, I will add those references to the appropriate JACKSONs. Near the end, I have highlighted in red a Richard JACKSON whom I believe is worthy more attention with respect to other JACKSON lines (including mine). Also of interest, is the line of JACKSONs who were prominent in the printing trades in Dublin in the late 1700s.

[1] The connection of the Mountmellick JACKSONs to the Killingwold Grove JACKSONs is dismissed by Edmund T. BEWLEY. He is most certainly right about the insufficiency of evidence, but his argument based on noscitur a sociis (A rule of language used by the courts to help interpret legislation, under which the questionable meaning of a doubtful word can be derived from its association with other words) also has its limits. Even so, it is likely that the first four generations as shown in this genealogy are invalid. Here is the nub of BEWLEY’s argument: Sir Anthony Jackson was a man of good family, a church- man, a courtier, and an ardent Royalist; while the Anthony Jackson in question was a small farmer, a Puritan, and a Cromwellian. Any one who has studied the early history of the Society of Friends knows that the Society was at this time recruited mainly from yeomen and the lower middle class, and not from the landed gentry. Few would be likely to join its ranks who were not already imbued with Puritan principles. Not only is there an entire absence of any evidence of a descent of this Anthony Jackson from the Jacksons of Killingwoldgraves, but there is a strong presumption against any such descent. It will be found, I think, that the first suggestion of this descent came from ' George Henry de Strabolgi Plantagenet ' Harrison or whatever his proper designation may be whose unscrupulous conduct in pedigree mongering is dealt with by Mr. Walter Rye in his Records and Record Search in Portions of the Greer pedigree as given in the early editions of Burke's Landed Gentry were severely handled by ' Anglo-Scotus ' in the Herald and Genealogist (vi. 137) ; and I think the alleged descent from the Killingwoldgraves Jacksons is almost worthy of a place in the Ancestor under the heading of ' What is Believed.'

· Eske is a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) north east of the town of Beverley and 1 mile (1.6 km) north of the village of Tickton. It lies just to the east of the River Hull. It forms part of the civil parish of Tickton. It was the ancestral home of the Jackson family, beginning with Richard (1505?-1555), the husband of Ann TODD, and the father of Anthony JACKSON, the husband of Margaret FROBISHER. Their son (Sir) Richard's wife was Ursula HILDYARD, a direct descendant of Edward I LONGSHANKS, and their son, Sir Anthony JACKSON II was a prominent courtier with both Charles I and Charles II Stuart. The latter is interred at the Temple Church of the Inner Temple in London.SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eske

This parish is situated on the road from York to Hull, and comprises 4208a. 20p., of which about 170 acres are woods and plantations; of the rest two-thirds are arable, and one-third pasture. The soil is various, the greater part a strong clay, with some very rich grazingland near the village; and the surface is undulated. There is a good limestone-quarry. On the village green is a fine pool of water, near which stood a long-noted gigantic elm, that was blown down in 1837. The living is a discharged vicarage, valued in the king's books at £5. 6. 8., and in the gift of the Dean and Chapter of York: the tithes were commuted for land and a money payment in 1767. The church, which stands on an eminence, has an ancient chapel and a tower; the nave was rebuilt some years since, at a cost of £1700. There is a place of worship for Particular Baptists.

· SOURCE: Bob Wilson email May 18 2008, [NOTE: This is best considered whithin the context of other sources.] I descend from Sir Anthony Jackson from Eccleston, Lancashire, who was in the service of the King Charles's I and II. Through his son also named Anthony, I descend down through Isaac Jackson of the Quaker village, Ballitore, County Kildare, to Quaker settlements in Chester County PA in the late 1790's. Sir Anthony's mother was an Ursula Hildyard, of Yorkshire, who was in turn of Rollo the Viking of Normandy-William the Conqueror-Edward I Longshanks (Plantagenet) direct descent. Sir Anthony is also an ancestor, through another son, to the forefather of both US President Andrew Jackson and US Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. Sir Anthony also has another distinction that links him to London in the 17th Century. He and his wife were imprisoned in The Tower for awhile while the Cromwells and Parliament held sway in England. But fortunately for them, most of their children were avowed Cromwellians who obtained large tracts of conquered Irish Lands.,
· SOURCE: http://genealogy.wikia.com/wiki/Anthony_Jackson_(1599-1666) Sir Anthony Jackson was born in 1599 in Yorkshire England to Richard Jackson and Ursula Hildyard. He was baptized on September 5, 1599 at All Saints. When he was 11, his father died. Anthony was admitted to the Inner Temple in 1616 to study law. In 1628, he worked as private secretary to George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham and Prime Minister of England. He was called to the Bar in 1635. He would became Bencher 25 years later, after the war, in 1660. He was gentleman in the Privy Chamber to King Charles I about 1640. He was promised the place of Protho- Notary of the Common Pleas at Oxford in 1646. English Civil War and imprisonment The English Civil occurred and Anthony Jackson was on the side of the monarch. He was knighted at Breda about 1650 when Charles II was in the Netherlands and Oliver Cromwell headed the English government. He acted as Herald in proclaiming Charles II King of England. In September 1651 during the Battle of Worcester, Anthony was taken prisoner. He escaped with other prisoners, but was retaken and committed to the Tower of London under an order of the Council of State, dated November 1, 1651 "for invading this nation with Charles Stuart." On November 11, his wife was granted permission to visit him. Anthony petitioned to Oliver Cromwell to be released, stating that he was "a servant only to the late king, but never in arms, and had only charity to subsist on." The indorsement of the petition reads "Herald that proclaimed Charles Stuart." This petition was taken to Council on February 22, 1653/4 but he was not released from the Tower. On February 5, 1655/6, Jackson once again petitioned Cromwell for release on security for good conduct, alleging that otherwise he must perish for want, as his friends could no longer supply him. The certificate of the Lieutenant of the Tower accompanying the petition states that "he has demeaned himself civilly, is retired and studious and very poor and fit to be released." The petition also states that his land was confiscated because of his loyalty to the Stuarts. Later life and death In 1658, Charles II was reinstated to the monarchy and in 1659, Anthony was released and given 50 pounds. Anthony died in 1666. He was buried at the Temple Church on October 14, 1666. Letter to Sir Edward Nicholas In my passage by Rouen gave you a full account by a letter left with Dr Baseier u how you stood in the esteame with the Queene • Col. Thomas Rainsborongh.

I shall now endeavor to give you a more perticular from the King. I assure you rest high in his favor and, though some exceptions hath bene taken that you did not freely without invitation niake your adress unto the Queene, that is washt away by a testimony that you were not accommodated for such a jorney without ether dishonoring your self or your maister. If I might ventuer to advise, I would not have you give any regard to reports ; for you may be confident you are in a better condicion then you conceave.

· SOURCE: Katherine Hoagland, Family Origins, He was knighted by Charles II in 1650 in Breda, Holland Anthony Jackson II, whose wife's name is unknown, lived in Eccleston, Lancashire, at least when some of his children were born. He had a large family, which included: Richard Jackson III, Anthony Jackson III, John Jackson, William Jackson, and possibly a Robert Jackson and Thomas Jackson. There may have also been daughters. Descendants of the sons, lived in either England or Ireland, according to various circumstances, and then their descendants came to America. While his family was growing up, Anthony II, according to Boddie in Historic Southern Families, became the private secretary to George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham and Prime Minister of England. Then, according to William Ross Cooper in Jackson Family Genealogy and History, he was a strong supporter of the Royal House of Stewart. He had spent his young days under James I (the same King James that we have our current edition of the Bible in English) and later supported Charles I, who became king when he was twenty-six years old. He was admitted to the inner-temple in 1616 (I question this date, since James I was still ruling and Anthony would have been only 17 years old), becoming a gentleman of the private chamber of Charles I. (See, the date must have been wrong. Charles didn't come to the throne until 1625). He was called to the bar in 1635 and promised the place of Protho-Notary of the Common Pleas at Oxford in 1646. With a rebellion developing against his king, Anthony Jackson II remained loyal to Charles I. he continued this loyalty until Charles was beheaded in 1649. By that time the government was in the hands of the people of England, led by Oliver Cromwell, and Charles II, who was supposed to be on the throne after his father's death, was in exile. Anthony Jackson II continued in his loyalty to the house of Stewart and for this he was knighted to Breda, Holland, in 1650. In 1651, when Charles II tried to come back to the throne, he was crowned, possibly at Scone in Scotland. Anthony Jackson was the Herald who announced the proclamation. For his continued support of the Royal Family, he was jailed on his return to England and spent eight years in the Tower of London. William Ross Cooper says: "He was taken prisoner at the battle of Worcester and having escaped with other prisoners, was retaken prisoner and committed to the Tower as a close prisoner under a council dated Nov. 1, 1651. This order mentions him as "Anthony Jackson, alias Sir Anthony Jackson". (The English must not have wanted to recognize his new title.) Ten days later when his wife visited him in the Tower, she was spoken of as Mrs. Jackson. Her maiden name is not known. He was accused of High Treason and kept a close prisoner for proclaiming Charles Stewart (Stuart) as King of England. He was later given the liberty of the Tower and at the end of eight years was released. During his imprisonment his property was dissipated and he was penniless when released. (Note:--Cooper's note-- It was customary to require prisoners to pay for their subsistence and clothes or they were allowed to starve. They even had to pay for the water they drank and for bringing all supplies to them. Anthony's release came about the time England was realizing that the government of the Commonwealth was becoming weak from lack of continuous leadership and had asked Charles II to come home and be their King. Cromwell had died and no other strong leader had emerged. Charles II came back in 1660 and ruled until 1685. Cooper says that he gave an order to the treasury to pay fifty pounds sterling to Anthony Jackson for his loyalty and loss of fortune. Anthony lived six more years, his death occurring in 1666. He was married to Mrs._Anthony JACKSON about 1623 in of 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.

They moved to Cavan and later probably to Mountmellick.,
· SOURCE: Katherine Hoagland, Family Origins, Richard and Anthony Jackson left England and went to live in Ireland., settling first at Carrickfergus in Antrim. There Richard met and married Margaret Keete. Anthony also married, but his wife's name is lost to history. Soon they met a man who helped cause a great change in their lives. William Edmundson, another Englishman, a recent convert to Quakerism, came to Ireland to visit his brother. Later he returned to make his home there. His ardent enthusiasm was contagious. The Jackson brothers, formerly Anglicans, or Presbyterians as some researchers say, came under his influence and accepted the simple belief that if people would be still and wait, it would not be long until god would speak to them directly instead of through a Priest. A better opportunity seemed to beckon the Jacksons to Lurgan, in Armagh, so they moved there to live. By then several others had converted to Quakerism and meetings were held in various homes. William Edmundson's account of those days, credits himself, Richard Jackson and Anthony Jackson, and four others with founding the first Quaker Meeting in Ireland, dating it from 1654. The following year some of this first group moved to County Cavan and settled near the line which separated Ulster from Leinster. There they also started a Meeting. William Edmundson and Richard Jackson continued to move, zealously starting Quaker meetings where they went. Anthony Jackson remained in Cavan the rest of his life.

· The Irish Ancestor p 60 Vol IX No. 2 1977 The [PIMS] were replaced at Killinure by Thomas Jackson and his second wife Dorothy: Jackson was a Quaker from Co. Down who had been living at Mountmellick. Jackson children were born at Killinure between 1692 and 1700, and Anthony's [Anthony SHARP’s] will of 1706 mentions Thomas Jackson as the lessee of Killinure. Jackson died there on 15th June 1716 aged 60, as did a son of his in 1717, in which year a daughter of his was married from there. One John Jackson, possibly either a son or brother of Thomas, died at Killinure on 6th August 1715 (will proved at Ossory 1717), and John's widow Joan died there in 1728: three of their daughters were married from there, Catherine in 1722, Abigail in 1726 and Alice in 1732, after which the association of the Jacksons with Killinure appears to have ceased. ... Local tradition holds that there was an "Elizabethan" house on the site of Roundwood. The 1659 "Census" shows Thomas Paul as titulado of Killinure with 24 English and 4 Irish inhabitants. Certainly there was a "mansion" on the lands when Anthony Sharp acquired them at the end of the 17th century. This must have been the house in which the Jacksons lived but it seems to have fallen into some disrepair between Thomas Jackson's death in 1716 and 1725 when Anthony Sharp's son Isaac let the lands of Killinure to John Dufficld. gent, of Kincor, King's County "in the same manner as Patrick Rafter and Garrett Ansloe had enjoyed them" (Reg. of Deeds 50 160 32424). By this deed Isaac Sharp obliged himself and his heirs "to cover the dwelling house of Killenure with slates and to repair the chimney and to glaze the windows and to repair the stable, cowhouse and barn and to put the oat kiln and mills in repair." The present stable building with its steeply pitched roof is in the style favoured early in the 18th century and I believe that it dates from the renovations promised in 1725. Traces of the mills have been found on the lands. 1 believe thai the old mansion or dwelling house the two-storey building, 47 feet long by 17 feet deep with a massive central chimney, standing at the back of the yard behind the present house. Its early brick floor was revealed when the wooden one was lifted in the course of restoration in the 1970s. The building has been mauled, having been used in the 19th century as an agent's dwelling and offices and later as a bam, but essentially it retains the characteristics of the long, low settlers' houses of 17th century Ireland. Prior to 1725 it was undoubtedly thatched, as the deed specifies to "cover. . . with slates" rather than to repair the slates.

London, England; d. 1825 Clarksburg, WVA).[N1] [In light of a more recent study on Elizabeth Cummins Jackson it is believed that she was only 96 or 97 years old at her death as opposed to the 101-105 years as recorded by previous reseachers and her tombstone placed by the Daughters of the American Revolution. As per her own statement, given to her grandson John George Jackson, Elizabeth arrived in America when she was 19 or 20. Arriving in the new country in 1748/49 would make her born on 8 January 1728/29. She died in Clarksburg, (West) Virginia in 1825. - Linda B. Meyers] "John Jackson was descended from English settlers in Ireland. He was born in Coleraine, Londonderry, Ireland, and at the age of ten moved with his family to London. He emigrated to Maryland in 1748, married, and removed to Virginia in 1758 (present day Hardy County, West Virginia). He was a member of the County Court, served as an Indian spy in 1787 for Governor Henry Lee, and was a lieutenant of the militia in 1787. During the Revolutionary War, he took part in the Battle of King's Mountain. John was said to have been a spare, diminutive man, quiet, determined, courageous, and of sound judgment." [N2] "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] John Jackson married on 4 Jul 1755, Elizabeth Cummins. .,
