[1] Samuel JACKSON (?-1706).

· It seems that he resided at the time of his death with a nephew, Richard JACKSON in a house on Mary Lane, Dublin.

· He was the second member of Parliament representing Coleraine, Londonderry in the Irish House of Commons from 1695-1703.

· According to his will, he also owned property in Co. Monaghan and Co. Cavan as well as at Clifford in Yorkshire. His properties in Dublin include: Young Cashall & Fishamble St. as well as a house in King St. which he bought from William Robert THORNTON. In naming three friends from Coleraine as well as a nephew from Coleraine, he clearly maintained strong connections with that part of Ireland, in spite of residing in Dublin.

This morning Sam Jackson Esq. died, 'tis said he was worth £30,000 which he left to his two nephews. About half an hour after, Madam Mitchelburn, sister to the said Jackson, died in the same house. [FOOTNOTE to this article: Richard Mitchelburne, Dublin, gent, whose will is dated 31 Jan. 1715 (Eustace, Registry of Deeds Dublin, Abstracts of Wills, vol. I, p. 79), was married to Mary Jackson; she, however, was still alive in 1715.].
NOTE: There is more to learn here. A Susan BERESFORD, widow of William JACKSON (who was a brother of Samuel) married secondly John MITCHELBURN (1647-1721) Her son William JACKSON is mentioned as a nephew in this will. The MITCHELBURN family were from the Coleraine area, and John MITCHELBURN’s grandfather was named Richard. There may be several JACKSON-MITCHELBURN marriages.

[4] to my brother Leonard JACKSON It is unclear whether this Leonard JACKSON is a son of Nathaniel JACKSON. I suspect that he was.

[5] Nathaniel JACKSON. I don’t know any more about him, but am including two disparate references:

· There is another Nathaniel JACKSON in the same time and place who I have included this here so I don`t lose track of him in case it fits in another related line of JACKSONs):

· JACKSON, Nathaniel ( -1662), was ejected from the Vicarage of Barwick-in-Elmet , eight miles from Leeds. He is not mentioned by Calamy, but has a rightful place among the ejected nonconformists. He belonged to a Puritan family, being son of John Jackson, rector of Meltonby, near Pocklington, who had three sons. His elder brother, John Jackson was rector of Marske, near Richmond; presented in 1634 at Archbishop Neile's Diocesan Visitation for not reading prayers upon the eves of Sundays and Holy days, and sometimes omitting to wear the surplice; a member of the Assembly of Divines at Westminster, and preacher at Gray's Inn, but nevertheless a royalist; and died at Barwick in 1648. Another brother, Timothy, was curate of Hackness and preacher at Wragby (1630-1647) ; his son John was vicar of Doncaster; " He deserted the politics of his family and bowed to the storm" (Raine). Nathaniel was rector of Stonegrave (1629-1648), and soon afterwards of Barwick; " a godly, learned and painful preacher" (Pari. Sur.) ; signed the certificate of the ordination of Matthew Hill at Thirsk, June 14th, 1654 ; gave instruction to Thomas Hardcastle (vide) ; and continued until the Restoration, when Dr. Dalton was brought back, and he took up his residence in York (see Arlush), where he died soon after the Act of Uniformity came into operation. " He was interred in that great rendezvous of the Puritan party, the Church of All Saints, in the Pavement, November 1st, 1662, with the famous Edward Bowles and many others of his friends " (" Marske in Swaledale," by Canon Raine).

Another Nathanial JACKSON (executed 18th of July, 1722) was a highwayman: ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/3/0/9/13097/13097.txt
A More complete tale of his life is at: The Life of NATHANIEL JACKSON, a Highwayman

ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/3/0/9/13097/13097.txt Interestingly, he was orphaned young, but came from a good home. He was convicted and then executed on July 18, 1722, at Tyburn. He was age 30 ( b. 1692). Given that Groves notes are a little scrambled at this point, it may be that Nathaniel was a son of one of Samuel JACKSON’s brothers.

Also, p 59 and 106-7: Captain William Jackson had a lease for lands in 1663. In 1673, a dispute between Captain William Jackson, tenant of the Clothworkers Estate, and the town [of Coleraine].

· More on Susanna BERESFORD: Susannah Beresford was the daughter of Sir Tristram Beresford, and sister of that other Tristram Beresford, who was involved in the Williamite wars. Her family were extremely powerful in the Coleraine to area and her marriage to William Jackson who also owned substantial estates near Coleraine and acted as agent for the Irish Society, can be considered a dynastic alliance. She had perhaps seven surviving children to what was her first and her husband's second marriage. Her husband fell out of favour with the society over the improper exploitation of timber belonging to them. Richard Jackson of Draperstown who served in Michelburne's regiment is probably her son. In the aftermath of the siege Susannah married John Michelburne and both she and her daughter stood guarantee for a loan given by the Stronge's to her new husband. Her son William Jackson stood in the 1697 by-election for county Londonderry which followed the death of George Philips MP. Although the election was won by James Lennox, Mayor of Londonderry, Jackson overturned the result and had himself declared MP for the county. Susannah's relation with Michelburne was a stormy one and after their separation Bishop William King then Bishop of Derry attempted to mediate between the parties with little success. During Michelburne's imprisonment in London, Susannah lived in the home of her fabulously wealthy brother in law in Coleraine. Her disputed settlement with Michelburne perhaps tied up his capital investments, thus lengthening his imprisonment in the Fleet. SOURCE: http://www.lynx2ulster.com/Siege/newinfo.php?PersonalID=65

[14] William EMPSON. I have never heard of this name. There was a William JEPSON: The rush to get the troops to the war theatre was clearly tremendous, as on 19th April 1689 William Jepson, Secretary to the Treasury, instructed the Customs Commissioners to permit to pass, customs free, for transport to Holland, some bundles of long Western Cloths, with baize for lining, “now on board ‘The Hopewell’, Nicholas Ashley, Master, the same being for Col. O’Farrell’s regiment, he not having time enough during his stay in England to make up said cloth for his regiment, and intends to have them made up in Holland”.

[41] Capt Adam DOWNING (1666 - 1719) of Londonderry. He was the husband of Ann JACKSON.

Initially I had his wife’s name as Margaret JACKSON based on various biographical references about her given under her husband's name, but DOWING family research has compelling evidence that the wife of Adam DOWNING was Ann JACKSON, daughter of John JACKSON -not Margaret, daughter of Thomas. This information is on the Downing family vault St Tida’s Church, Bellaghy Co. Londonderry. Adam Downing also named his wife as Ann in his will.

Adam Downing, who went over to Ireland's William III, held the rank of colonel in his army. He was present at the siege of Derry, and there gave early and signal proofs of his courage. Subsequently he raised a body of men at his own expense, and served during the war in Ireland, participating in the battle of the Boyne, and contribute eminently, by his gallantry and skill, to the success of the party with which he was engaged. For these services he received the appointments of deputy governor of the County of Derry, Colonel of the militia, and one of the commissioners of array, and was also granted by his royal master a large tract of land in the County of Derry, still possessed by his descendent. He married Margaret, daughter of Thomas Jackson, Esq. of Coleraine, ancestor of Sir George Jackson, Bart, by Margaret Beresford, of a noble family of Waterford, and had a son and successor.
