[1] Samuel JACKSON (1641-1706), son of Rev. Richard JACKSON (1602-1681) of Kirby Lonsdale, Co. Westmorland, England, and his 1st wife, Dorothy OTWAY (1605- abt 1645). SEE: Rootsweb Family Tree

· At the time of his death he resided in a house that he owned on Mary Lane, Dublin, and his sister-in-law, Susannah BERESFORD, and her son, his nephew, Richard JACKSON (abt 1656-1730) lived with him. Since Richard was widowed in 1698 (Anne BATE 1674-1698), and then he remarried to Elizabeth BOYD, my guess is that he was between wives at the time. We have no date for his 2^nd marriage, but it was his son Richard JACKSON (1722-1787) who founded the Forkhill Trust.

· The number of houses owned or leased by Samuel Jackson in Dublin – many mentioned in this will - makes it appear that he was a property developer of sorts. Many properties were in the Oxmantown area, which was being newly developed at the time. Many were only blocks away from the Linen Hall.

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

· He died January 19, 1706. SOURCE: Announcements In Impartial Occurrences, JAN. 1705—FEB. 1706 by H. F. MORRIS, LL.B., M.A., PH.D. 4. Tues. 15-19 Jan 1706.

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.]. MY NOTE: Richard MITCHELBURNE was a brother to Col. John MITCHELBUREN who married Susan BERESFORD (d. 1706) the widow of Samuel’s brother – William JACKSON. Susan BERESFORD & John MITCHELBURNE were estranged not long after their marriage in 1690, and she lived with her brother-in-law, Samuel JACKSON, the author of this will. There were likely other MITCHELBURNE-JACKSON Marriages . NOTE: On pg 460 in The Irish Landed Gentry When Cromwell came to Ireland lists under Grants made as part of the Acts of Settlement and Explanation: JACKSON “- alias Mitcheburne, Eliza. O’Hara does not date this section, but this entry would have to be after 1690 – the date of her marriage – unless there is another JACKSON-MITCHELBURNE marriage earlier. The Acts of Settlement were otherwise in the 1662 and the Acts of Explanation in 1665.

· On page 516, a Samuel JACKSON is listed in The Irish and Anglo-Irish Landed Gentry when Cromwell came to Ireland 1887. NOTE: I have several sightings of Jacksons relating to the Cromwellian era on an early post: In the Beginning.

· This letter from 11 December 1688 is probably from him:

· Samuel Jackson, Dublin, to Sir Albert Conyngham, Mount Charles House, Strabane, about Capt. Hamilton's affairs.'... We have been in great consternation here about a letter which I presume you must have heard of, wherein it was said that on the 7th instant the Protestants was [sic] to be cut off; which alarm hath caused I believe 2000 [?] people to go for England. But, God be thanked, now people begin to come into their right wits again. For my part, I never believed anything of that report, and I do not doubt but in a little time all things in England will come to a good accommodation. ...' SOURCE: PRONI T2825/C/47/2.

Name	Occupation	Birthplace	Year of taking oaths
Jackson, Samuel	Pewterer	Nantwich	20 May 1669

[2] Ardlonan, Parish of Kilbeg, Lower Kells, Co. Meath

[3] This may be a townland named Inkerstown, but I can find no record of such a townland or parish name in either Meath or Dublin (there is some ambiguity in the notes). Perhaps it was simply a neighbourhood in Dublin. Or it may not even be a place. It may be as legal term - something like: [???]return.

[4] Drakrath aka Drakerath, Parish of Staholmog, Barony of Lower Kells, Co. Meath

[5] Clifford, West Yorkshire, about 3 miles south of Weatherby.

[6] to my brother Leonard JACKSON son of my decd brother Nathaniel Jackson Groves’ notes are unclear, and it may that there was confusing language in the will. We will never know. Samuel did have a brother named Nathaniel JACKSON who was alive in 1688, but described as deceased here. He also had a brother named Leonard JACKSON (1650-1726). Was there also a Leonard JACKSON who was a son of Nathaniel JACKSON? Possibly. In the Notebook No 135, where the writing is definitely that of TGF Paterson, the wording is:

Mr. Withers to my nephew William Jackson son of my brother Nathanile Jackson of Leeds in Yorkshire, deceased & his issue male. Then to my brother Leonard Jackson, Rector of Tatham in Lancashire.

This discrepancy between the two sets of notes raises the possibility that TGF Paterson was not working from Groves’ notes, but directly from the will itself. He also mentions a legacy to a sister named BOND, who is not included in Groves’ notes. A sister Hannah JACKSON (1636-aft 1688) who was a wife of Major BOND was included in a 1688 Bentham Funeral Entry NOTE: I need to check whether the notebooks are dated.

[7] Nathaniel JACKSON. Born 1640, and baptized in the Parish of Skipton. He was alive and mentioned in 1688, but has clearly died before the date of this will, 1705. Given the frequency of the name Nathaniel in the Quakers of Mountmellick, this may be a significant lead with respect to making sense of the early origins of the Quaker Jacksons - given the controversy over some of their alleged roots in England (stemming from a Sir Richard of Killingwold Grove, Yorkshire). Perhaps they were cousins.

[8] There was a significant JACKSON presence in Leeds in this era, which I am still learning about. Many of them were connected to cloth-related industries.

[9] John JACKSON minister of Skipworth in Yorkshire. If he was indeed a brother-in-law, and I have no reason to dount this, then I do not yet know which sister of Samuel’s he may have married, and whether he and this sister may have been cousins of some ilk.

John JACKSON: pleb. Christ Church, matric. 3 July, 1663, B.A. 1667, M.A. 23 March, 1669-70; one of these names rector of Sessay, Yorks, 1676, vicar of Skipworth, Yorks, 1690, and vicar of Doncaster 1690. See Foster's Index Eccl. SOURCE: Jacksons in Oxford Alumni

[13] William JACKSON (-1712) of Coleraine.

· His wife was Elizabeth Gorges of Kilbrew. His father, was the William JACKSON who had died in 1688 and his mother was Susanna BERESFORD – daughter of Sir Tristram Beresford. In 1690, after she was widowed, she - married a second husband, John MITCHELBURN). SOURCE: Irish Genealogist. SOURCE: Further Notes on the High Sheriffs of Co. Sligo. Edward Stewart Gray.

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: Lynx 2 Ulster: Culture History & Heritage.

[14] See Timeline of Jacksons of Coleraine.

[15] Capt. Richard JACKSON (1668-1730) was the eldest son of William JACKSON and Susan BERESFORD. He married firstly Anne BATE and then Elizabeth BOYD, daughter of Hugh BOYD. It is likely that he was the Ensign Richard JACKSON who was under the command of Col. MICHELBURN at the siege of Derry. SEE: Defenders of Derry. It is possible that his brother Samuel, another nephew of the Samuel of this will, had already died.

[16] Mary’s Lane is in the Oxmantown area of Dublin, near where other buildings that Samuel Jackson owned were situated. It is just one block up from where the Jacksons of Pill Lane had their offices and iron works. Mary’s Lane is in the Parish of St. Michael’s, and was intersected by Old Church Street.

[17] The use of the word Houses in relation to Young [Castle?] and Fishamble - and then later the use of the word House on King Street means that it is possible that he had multiple houses on these first three streets.

[18] Young Street. I could find no mention in Dublin Street Names. Rev. C.T. McCreedy. Hodges, Figgis and Co., Dublin 1892.

[19] It looks like Castlell but might be Castle Street. In the 1698 map, Castle Street is at the south end of Fishamble Street near Christ Church Cathedral. The Castle-street market was built in 1704. Source: p19 Dublin Street Names. Rev. C.T. McCreedy. Hodges, Figgis and Co., Dublin 1892.

[20] Fishamble Street. It leads south from the Liffey towards the east side of Christ Church Cathedral.

[22] William Robert THORNTON. Perhaps significantly, on p.33 of Notebook #5 of TGF Patteson manuscripts at the Armagh County Museum there is a mention of a Robert THORNHILL of Clough, Co. Wexford in connection with his selling some land on Feb 10, 1657/58. This rings bells because of later connections between Co, Wexford and the Creggan JACKSONs

[23] William EMPSON. The handwriting in Grove’s transcription is challenging, but TGF Paterson also read this name as EMPSON.

· There was a William EMPSON in Finglass Parish in Dublin. SOURCE: Page 32 The Families of Co. Dublin. Michael C. O'Laughlin.

· In a post about The Parish of Finglass: by Marcine Lohman (I highlighted the name of John BALL because of other JACKSON-BALL connections): amongst other residents in George the First's reign there are found Boyle Moore, a son of Colonel Moore, who probably went to reside at Johnstown in 1718 when it became vacant on Archbishop Marsh's death, and a son of Squire Robert Ball, Captain John Ball, who appears to have maintained a connexion with Finglas, although the seat of his family was moved to Drogheda from Ballygall. Besides these there is mention of John Jephson, a king's counsel; the Honourable Ignatius Nugent, a brother of Lord Riverston Sir Nathaniel Whitwell, who received his knighthood at the court of St. James's; Paul Barry, a son of the resident of that name previously mentioned; Lewis Layfield, a well-known Dublin actor; Alderman William Empson ; and Phineas Ferneley. Finglass is a parish on the western border of Dublin, surrounded by the parishes of Mulhuddart and Cloghran, Townlands include: Ballyboggan North, Ballyboggan South, Ballygall, Ballystrahan, Balseskin, Bishopswood, Broghan, Cabragh, Cardiffcastle, Cardiffsbridge, Charlestown, Coldwinters, Cruicerath, Cruiserath, Finglas Town, Finglas East, Finglas West, Finglas Wood, Glasnevin Demesne, Glebe, Jamestown Great, Jamestown Little, Johnstown, Kildonan, Kilreesk, Kilshane, Laurestown, Poppintree, Shallon, Skephubble, Springmount, Stang, Stockens, Tolka Town, Toberburr, Tolka, Westercave

· [At first I had read the name EMPSON as JEPSON – but I am retaining this red herring in case it is of use to others.]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”. SOURCE: Francis Fergus O'Farrell 1650-1708 Also, the name crops up in relation to the production of Lancashire sailcloth and in the support of the school at Kendal (JOPSON).

[32] Drishole is my guess at a reasonable transcription. A townland named Drissoge- which sounds similar - is in the Parish of Athboy, Barony of Lune in Co. Meath. TGF Paterson transcribes Grove’s transcription as Drishoe. This townland is still agricultural.

[33] Ardlonan, Parish of Kilbeg, Lower Kells, Co. Meath.

[39] Ballyclea. aka Ballkintle aka Ballinclea, Parish of Kill, Barony Rathdown, Co. Dublin. In the Down Survey of 1656-58, Rowland Goodman (protestant) held title of 30 acres in Ballintle, in the Parish of Kill. I suspect this is the same townland. AT the time when King James was the Duke of York, the land was held by Sir William Domvill. After the Williamite War, the townland was once again up for grabs, and Samuel Jackson bought it in 1703. Some time after the abdication of James II, they were put up for auction by the trustees of the forfeited estates and sold to Mr. Samuel Jackson. SOURCE: A History of the County Dublin, Francis Errington Ball, Dublin 1902. p 60

There is a story about Ballinclea & Sir Oliver Crofton husband of Samuel Jackson’s niece, Abigail: The lands of Ballinclea, or the Town of the Mountain, were first mentioned in the time of the Commonwealth. They were then forfeited lands, and had belonged to the owner of Loughlinstown, James Goodman, who had mortgaged them to his cousin, Roland Goodman. The tithes were paid to the Cathedral of Christ Church, as they had, no doubt, been in mediaeval times to the Priory of the Holy Trinity. After the restoration of the lands, on which the two houses and a population of nine Irish, were granted amongst much other property, to the Duke of York, afterwards James II, and remained in his possession until his abdication. Some years after that event, in 1703, there were put up for auction by the trustees of the forfeited estates, and sold to Mr Samuel Jackson. They subsequently became the property of Sir Oliver Crofton, Bart, whose baronetcy, conferred on an ancestor after the restoration, became extinct on his death. Crofton was a rollicking blade, and did not bear the most immaculate character. In early life he had stood his trial for killing a man, one of the Massys of Duntrileague, in a duel, and his proceedings, after the death of his predecessor in the title, had not been to his credit. Attempts were made from time to time to induce people to build on the excellent sites which the lands of Ballinclea afforded, and finally Crofton came to live there himself. Loftus, was lands adjoined, found Crofton a most unpleasant neighbour, and, on his boundary wall being thrown down by Crofton and his servants, sought, in 1765, the protection of the House of Commons. The house found that a breach of privilege and been committed, and some of Crofton, servants, who had insulted Loftus, were taken into custody. The fine mansion, which now stands on the lands was built, in the last century, by the Talbots of Malahide, and is still occupied by members of the family.

[47] Bratley – I don’t have a clue which townland this might be. My latest guess is that it may be Pollymore Near & Pollymore Far, Parish of Annagaliff, Barony of Upper Loughtee, Co. Cavan. My hunch is based on where these townlands are located, which is close to other Jackson townlands, and as well as there was an earlier Jackson lease for a Pollybrolly - which sounds a bit like a "poll of Bratley".

[53] Capt Adam DOWNING (1666 - 1719) of Londonderry. He was the husband of Ann JACKSON, and she was the daughter of John JACKSON (1630-?), a brother of Samuel JACKSON (1641-1706) . NOTE: Initially I had his wife’s name as Margaret JACKSON based on various biographical references, 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. SOURCE: A Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Landed Gentry of Great Britain and Ireland Vol. 1 A-L. John Burke, Esq. London 1847. p.453. Col. 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. John Downing, Esq. of Dawsons Bridge, who inherited the spirit of his father, and raised, during the rebellion of 1745, at considerable expense, a body of men to serve his King and country in a moment of great difficulty and danger. He married Margaret, daughter and heir of the Rev. J. ROWE, D.D., descended from an ancient Devonshire family, and had three sons namely, Clotworthy, his heir who had two sons John and Giffard.
