A Jackson line in Coleraine
Updated June 22, 2013.
This tree has been built over the past decade. Some sources are more reliable than others. All entries should be checked and double checked. Some conflict with others, so I have included the conflicting evidence in the hopes that this will help the truth to emerge. I have discounted some sources– primarily those JACKSON pedigrees that focus on the alleged lineage of these JACKSONs to the American president, Andrew JACKSON and/or the celebrated Stonewall JACKSON. Just because the pedigrees are saved in PRONI does not mean they are true – only that the family which submitted the material perhaps thought they were true.
One essential source was T.G.F. Paterson’s Notebook #5. It is held at the Armagh Archives. Eugene McCann built on Patterson’s work in Ballykeel A Narrow Townland,. [Creggan: Journal of The Creggan Historical Society, 1997-98. No. 8.] Notes of the will of Samuel JACKSON (d 1706), done by Arthur Tenison Groves, were in Paterson’s Notebook #5, and revealed connections which led me to BMDs in Yorkshire. The registers of the parish church of Whittington in the County of Lancaster. Christenings, burials, and weddings, 1538 to 1764 was essential in the next steps. I have included the JACKSONs of this parish in a Whittington Jackson page. Whittington is in Lonsdale, an essential place to look as is is adjacent to Kirby Lonsdale, and is also a place where the Rev. Richard JACKSON was a rector. (NOTE: The parish is sometimes described as being in Yorkshire, Sometimes in Lancaster.).
The Beetham Funeral Entries added three more children’s names to the family in the 1688 will of William JACKSON. A final source was: Coleraine in by-gone centuries, Rev. T.H. Mullin. D.D., Century Services, 1976. Until then, I had been building this JACKSON tree branch by branch, pretty much in the dark. As a result of these leads, this tree been merged into the Rootsweb version that gets more regular updates than pages such as this.
There are still some outstanding mysteries in the will of Samuel JACKSON of Dublin.
There are two sisters of Samuel JACKSON’s who lived long enough to be possibilities: Elizabeth JACKSON and Anne JACKSON. NOTE: It is also possible that at least one of Samuel’s sisters may have married more than once since there are not four sisters whose husbands are unaccounted for.
If other hunches turn out to correct, then the William JACKSON who is the father of the Rev. Richard JACKSON had three other sons that are of interest in terms of other JACKSON family names in Ireland:
If these men had sons who went to Ireland, the odds are high that they will be found in the ranks of the Irish Quaker JACKSONs
Other possible sources: The Kirkby Stephen Parish Register.

[1] Richard JACKSON became Rector of Whittington July 26, 1641,.
[2] Co. Westmoreland. The historic county boundaries of Westmoreland are with Cumberland to the north, County Durham and Yorkshire to the east, and Lancashire to the south and west. Hence, in some histories, the family is alleged to have come from Yorkshire or Lancashire - the boundaries at the time were somewhat flexible and not always exactly as we have them now.
[3] WHITTINGTON— not to be confused with Withington, near Manchester, nor Whittingham, near Preston — is a pretty village situate in extreme North-East Lancashire, about one-and- a-half miles from Kirkby Lonsdale. Its Church, dedicated to S. Michael, is known to have been in existence in the fourteenth century. Richard JACKSON became Rector of Whittington in 1641, July 26. The Parish of Whittington comprises 4,327 acres, including the townships of Newton, Docker, and Whittington, and contains a population of 339. The adjoining parishes on the Westmoreland side are Burton and Kirkby Lonsdale, and on the Lancashire side Tunstall, Melling, and Warton. The Parish Registers share, with Whalley and Farnworth (near Widnes), the honour of commencing in 1538 — the year appointed by Vicar-General Cromwell.

· He married 1715 Margaret BERESFORD Sister to the Marquis of Waterford. SOURCE: John Drebett, The Baronetage of England, NOTE: This relationship s as sister to the Marquis seems unlikely. It has the feel of a few generations being conflated. It is possible that she was a sister of Sir Tristram BERESFORD (1669-1701) whose son Sir Marcus BERESFORD (1694-1763) was in turn the father of the 1st Marquess of Waterford (George de la Poer BERESFORD (1735-1800), but even that is not a terribly good fit.
· NOTE: There are some puzzling aspects to the name of Thomas JACKSON’s wife. There is a Thomas JACKSON who died in 1751 who was of Creekstown, Co. Meath, whose widow was named Anne – not Margaret. Given the family land connections to the BALL family, who owned the lease for this land, this would seem to be the same person. Perhaps there was a 2nd wife, as yet unknown.

By Act of the Lord Lieutenant in Council on 20 Dec, 1771 12 townlands were severed from Loughgilly and formed into the Parish of Forkill, with the permission and at the request of the Rector of Loughgilly.

Nor did he confine his pious and charitable intentions to the short period of his own life, but, by his extensive bequests he perpetuated and rendered permanent, schemes well calculated to promote the furtherance of piety and morality, and to diffuse the light of the Gospel by the extension of pure Christianity."

Carlow means the following excerpt could very well be the key to a husband for Rose JACKSON: Thomas Bunbury I (1673 - 1743) of Cloghna Thomas Bunbury of Cloghna and Cranovonane was born in 1673. It is not known when he acquired Cranovonane. In 1697, the year in which the first Lisnavagh House was built, he married Rose Jackson. The Bunburys were already well established in County Carlow - Thomas's father had been High Sheriff of the county in 1695. At some point, Thomas also acquired a property south of Carlow town at Cloghna, just off the N9 somewhere close to Tinryland. Rose Bunbury died at Cranavonane in February 1738 and Thomas followed in 1743. They left two surviving sons - Thomas and Benjamin.

· In a deed dated August 10, 1709, there is a reference to a Michael JACKSON who died bef 1709. There is a case to be made that this Michael JACKSON was the son of Roger JACKSON and Alice HARRISON (daughter of Michael HARRISON of Marlea). A Michael JACKSON (who would be a good fit with respect to time and place) was mentioned in the will of his grandfather, Michael HARRISON. Although the surviving Lisburn church registers do not record any relevant baptism, marriage or burial for this JACKSON family, a Roger JACKSON was listed as a Churchwarden in April 1699 and again in April 1700 and then replaced June 19th, 1700 (possibly because he had just died).SOURCE: Churchwardens of Lisburn Cathedral as cited in The Harrison Family. Barry Smith. [A private paper, emailed to me February 23, 2010.]
· A Roger JACKSON of Lisburn is recorded in 1766 religious census.

[118] Tatham proper lies in the valley of the Wenning, the parish church being placed on the northern side of the river, which is crossed by a bridge; but nearly the whole area of this township-parish lies to the south of the river, occupying hilly country between the wooded valley of the Hindburn and the border of Yorkshire.

[119] Robert JACKSON. I have added him in provisionally – with his name in red since it is no more than a hunch, but is based on geography, profession, and land holdings. I suspect he was the Rev. Robert JACKSON who succeeded Rev. Leonard JACKSON.

NOTE: Given that a half sister of Rev. Leonard JACKSON, Jennet JACKSON married an Oliver NORTH, the name of Francis NORTH is interesting. Given that she had a brother named Francis, perhaps this Francis NORTH was a son?
