Townlands connected to JACKSONs of Co Down

Descendants of John JACKSON of Little Eccleston, Lancashire. NOTE: The first record of the JACKSONs in this area begin to show up some time after the Cromwellian land grants, but before the King James of King William land transfers. James ROSSE was the initial landlord. The early leases, in one case, total at least 885 acres. This level of wealth made them financial peers of the neighbouring BLACKWOOD family.

I have interpolated many of the Belfast Newsletter BMDs, with as many of the memorials of deeds that I can find notes on [based on my 2016 update – more to come].

An historical account of the Diocese of Down and Connor, ancient and modern

probably used as beads (See Saul). A block of red stone, in

which a squnre mortice was cut, which seems to have been

the j)edestal of a ci'oss, formerly stood near the graveyard,

but it has been removed by a person named Jennings, to

mark a grave belonging to him in Saul. A little to the

south of the church is one of those little wells which are in-

variably found in close proximity to our ancient chuiclies.

The ancient graveyard of Kilmore, or as it was formerly

called Kilmore Moran, is situated in the townland of Carna-

cally, but no foundations of the church now exist. Kilmore

was an ancient niensal parish of the Bishop of Down, which

he enjoyed perhaps because he re|)resented the ancient

Bishops of Nendrura, whose see was united at an early date

to that of Down. One of the Bishops of Nendrum, now

called Mahee Island, was named Moranii ; he died in the

year 800. He was probably the founder of this church, and

from him it seems to have been named Kilmore Moran.

We liave very fdw notices of this ancient church. Jt is

omitted for some rensons now unknown from the Taxation

of Pope Nicholas. The following entry is, however, in the

Tei-rier " Ecclesia de Kilmore Meroue is the Bishop's Men-

sal. The Vicar pays in Proxies 6s. 8d., in Ptefections 6s.

8d., in Synodals, 2s." To this entry is appended a note.

"Kilmore Marone, 5 quarier lands having 7 chappelLs."

Where these chapels wei-e situated can not now be ascertained

with accuracy; we may, however, suppose tliat the various

chapels within tlie civil parish of Kilmore were included

among them. Walter de la Hay rendered into the Exchequer

an account of the receipts from the see lands during the

interval bet%veen March 4th and July 1st, o" the year 1305,

and one of the items in his return is " 16s. 8d. of the rent of

the free tenants (libere tenentium) of Ball}caryne, for the

same term." Ballycaryne has not been identified, but it

PARISH OF INCH, KILMORE, AND KILLYLEAGH. 329

seems to be Kilmore, which is in thetownhmd of Ciirnacally,

The Parliamentary Report of 1833 states that " Kilmore-

moran and the lands belonging thereto except the gleVjelands

in the possession of Leslie Creery, Clk., containing 12 acres,

2 roods, and 7 perches " were let to Thomas Pottiiiger, Esq.,

under a lease ot 21 years, perpetually renewable, at a rent of

£22 13s. 4d., and a renewal tine of £96 18s. Sd. The late Dr.

Denvir purchased, in 1853, with trust-money, the townlands

of Kilmore and Carnacally, together with the rectorial

rent charge of the parish of Kilmore. The pro[)erty cost

£4,000, and produces for the charities about £209 per

annum. Dr. Dorrian, after the disestablishment of the Pro-

testant Chai-ch, purchased from the Church Temporalities

Commissioners the head rents and the manorial rights, so

that he now possesses the church lands of Kilmore as fully as

did ever any of his predecessors.

North-west of Kilmore is Rademman, which is mentioned

in the Life of St Pulcherius, or Mochomog, as being a certain

fort in which then resided the King of Ulidia — it signifies

" The rath of Deman," a King of Ulidia, who was slain,

A.D. 565.

In the townland of Listooder is a small and long disused

graveyard called Killygartan, where a head.stone marked

with a cross is said to indicate a priest's grave, but the

name of the alleged occupant is not remembered. There

is a similar graveyard in the townland of Creevyargon.

In the townland of Barnamaghery, on the side of a high

hill, is a graveyard called Killyman, in which there are no

remains of a chui'ch, but a great quantify of stones were

removed from it in constructing the bridge over the Glass-

water. The Annals of the Four Masters record, under the

year 583, " Saint Fearghus, Bishop of Druim-Leathglaise

(Down), died on the 30th of March ; and this waS the Fear

330 DOWN AND CONNOR,

ghns who founded Cill-niBian." This bishop would appear-

to have been a distinguished person, for his death, and the

fact of his liaving founded Cill-niBian are mentioned in the

annals of Tigernach, and in those of Ulster, and of Boyle.

It might be expected that Cill-mBian, as being founded by

one of the bishops of Down, would remain closely connected

with the see, and as Killyman was a chapel in the mensal

parish of Kilmore, and probably one of the seven belong-

ing to it, it may reasonably be supposed to be tne ancient

Cill-mBian.

Another of the seven chajjels might be looked for in the

adjoining townland of Clontaghnaglar ; perhaps in that

townland along the Glass-water, might be found the lost

church of Kill-Glais, which, as we are told in the " Tripartite

Life of St. Patrick," that saint commenced to erect, but he

was driven out of the neighbourhood by the inhabitants.

He, however, returned, and having completed it, placed over

it two of his disciples, Glasicus, and Liberius, a priest.

Another of the seven chapels may have been in the grounds

of Ci'ossgar House, where there is an ancient well called

Tubbermure.

In Killiuchy-in-the-Woods, which is not in the parish of

Kilmore, but adjoins it, and is the only townland which the

parish of Killyleagh has outside the Barony of Dufferin,

there was an ancient church which pi-obably was one of the

seven chapels of Kilmore. The following entry occurs in

the "Terrier" regarding it: — " Killinsee-in-the-Kalbe (in-

tended for Coin : a wood), one mensal and pays nothing (no

proxies, &c.,) and hath one towne spiritualities and tempor-

alities." The school-house of Killinchy-in-the- Woods is built

on the site of the church, and its cemetery has been com-

pletely obliterated. In it was found a shell, such as was

formerly used at the altar for holding water, and a little altar

John Spenser Bassett Life of Andrew Jackson 1911.

A memorandum preserved by Jackson amongst his papers, and without evidence of its reliability, asserts there were four brothers in Ireland by the name of Jackson, each of whom occupied as freeholder a large farm. Andrew, the youngest, lived near Castlereagh and sold his property in 1765, and went to America where he landed at Charleston, S.C., and removed to the backcountry. All these Jacksons, it declared, were devoted to the established Kirk of Scotland and were noted for their hospitality.

Castlereagh is about 125 miles from Carrickfergus, whence Jackson and Crawford sailed for America. One brother, his name is not given, lived at Ballynisca in the parish of Car Donnell, and was father of Samuel Jackson, who became senior partner in the Philadelphia firm of Jackson and Bayard, with whom William Paterson of Baltimore lived when a youth. Another brother, name not given, lived at Knocknagoney, parish of Hollywood, and his daughter married James Suffern of New York, and brother of John Suffern, a prominent state politician. The fourth brother, whose name is not mentioned, lived at Bally Willie[1], parish of Bangor, and was called “Laird Jackson”. This memorandum could've been prepared after the appearance of Reed's book and there is an evident purpose to enhance Jackson's social standing. He endorsed most of his papers, but nothing appears on this. [My NOTE: Perhaps his family’s social standing needed no embellishment. Since this document played fast and loose with particulars, it should be approached with caution. Generations are likely out of synch – although the townlands mentioned are interesting]

WITNESS: William CUMING of Lisbredraw & Richard James HUEY of Newtownards, Co. Down. NOTE: Given that Letitia & Mary ORR are sisters, and granddaughters of Mary JACKSON (1668-1751), I would suspect that Samuel JACKSON was a near relation. William Bruce ORR (1760-1790) was a cousin of the sisters. I suspect that his mother was a BRUCE (wife of James ORR) SEE: NOTE: John ORR (1695-1771) and his wife Mary REID (1704-1790).

Down containing by est 707 acres Cunningham Measure together with buildings, barns, mills stables gardens etc River if Lough Waters [?], trees woods, underwoods,, crops, mountains, WITNESSES: James HUME & Robert HAMILTON both of the City of Dublin attorneys at law & James VANCE. NOTE: Mountpleasant is in the Parish of Ballymiscaw, Parish of Dundonald. I am unsure about Drumalleeormon. One clue is that there is a listed building at The Corn Mill, Mary Brook, 11 Raleagh Road, Drummaconagher, Parish of Kilmore. A legal case in 1869 connects this land to the bankruptcy of James Birch KENNEDY. His wife was Charlotte BRUNKER and his parents were Thomas KENNEDY (abt 1782-1862) and Catherine Sarah BIRCH (?-1844). They are all in my Rootsweb family Tree. I suspect that Charlotte BRUNKER is related to the BRUNKERs of Monaghan, one of whom – Sarah BRUNKER (1751-1820) married John JACKSON (1744-1824) of Crieve House Co, Monaghan, He is in the JACKSONs of Lisnaboe family tree. Another clue is in the Belfast Morning News 18 April 1864. James Birch KENNEDY writes from his home at Marybrook, and references correspondence from 60 years ago between his grandfather Rev. James Jackson BIRCH (1740-1820) of Marybrook, Dromore, Co. Down & Lord Castlereagh about liquor policies. His grandfather was a James BIRCH (?-1727) who married a Mary JACKSON. Her connections are as yet unknown.

	Ballyregan	Dundonald	aka Ballyreagan. It is on the eastern boundary of Ballmiscaw. It southern tip is on the northern boundary of Dundonald Town, and Church lands. Even today, the northerly portion is still sparsely settled farmland. The townland was divided into 2 parts, and in 1677 Robert JACKSON (1619-1679) held half. By the time of the Griffiths Valuation, there was no longer a JACKSON owner or occupier. It is likely that Humphrey Thompson JACKSON was the last JACKSON to hold this lease. In Full Circle: A Story of Ballybay Presbyterians. David Nesbitt, 1999.Cahans Publications, it says of Thompson Humphrey JACKSON. p19. He died without issue, and "the Dundonald property passed from the third to the descendants of the first minister" [possibly descendants of Humphry THOMPSON - but it could also be descendants of Dr. Thomas JACKSON – who may not have been a medical doctor, but rather a Presbyterian minister.]

WITNESS James RATCLIFFE of Belfast, Co. Antrim, clothier; Andrew WALKER of Dundonald, Co. Down, yeoman; Richard LOWDER of Belfast, Gent. Thomas JACKSON [SEAL] NOTE: Robert JACKSON (1619-1679) was father of John JACKSON (1667-1725). The Memorial was witnessed in 19 Jan 1719 and both John Jackson (1667-1725) & Thomas Jackson signed it. This rules out the lessee being Thomas Jackson (1679-1713), the innkeeper who was the brother of John Jackson (1667-1725) and husband of Janet LINDSAY. That Thomas JACKSON mentioned no children in his will, so he may not have had any that survived him. The 1677 lease was renewable every 21 years. Theoretically, that would have been in 1698, 1719, 1740, 1761, 1782 and so on. Yearly rent was £18, and the fee at time of renewal was £9. The half share was £5. In 1819, Humphry Thompson JACKSON held this lease. He was a great grandson of the Thomas JACKSON (1700-1779) – who was of age at the time of this lease so was likely born a few years earlier than 1700. He was the son of John Jackson (1667-1725, hence is likely the lessee). He has been given the title of Dr. in other histories, but I do not know the source.

1850 Jan 17	Newtown	Newtown Ards	Thomas JACKSON, being seized of a parcel of ground on the north side of Francis-street, in the town of Newtownards in the county of Down, under a fee-farm grant made to him and his heirs in the year 1770 by Alexander Stewart and Robert Stewart (afterwards Earl of Londonderry), at a yearly rent and leet money of £6. 3s. 71/2d., shortly afterwards demised a portion of it to Gilbert Jackson, and on the remaining portion erected two dwelling-houses, known as Nos. 21 and 23. Thomas Jackson in April 1772 gave his bond and warrant of attorney to Alexander Stewart for the principal sum of £200, and in Michaelmas Term 1788 a judgment was entered thereon in the Court of Common Pleas for the penal sum of £400, with costs. In I793 Thomas Jackson assigned his interest in the premises to his son William Catherwood Jackson, the father of the plaintiff Ellen. Alexander Stewart having died, and the principal and interest on the judgment having then amounted to the penalty, Robert his son, then Lord Londonderry, in the year 1804, caused a notice to be served on the tenants of the three houses, directing them to pay no further rent to William Catherwood Jackson, but to pay the rents to Lord Londonderry until the judgment debt affecting the said premises owing by the said Thomas Jackson to the heirs and executors of the late Alexander Stewart should be fully paid off and discharged, or that otherwise they should be proceeded against. at law to compel their so doing. The tenants accordingly paid their rents to the agent of Lord Londonderry. Mr. Cleland and William C. Jackson assented to the arrangement, which so continued until the lst of August 1809, when Lord Londonderry assigned for the sum of £200 the judgment to the defendant Mary Jameson, then Mary Bayly, the daughter of Gilbert Jackson, and then a tenant to the part demised to her father. From that period to the time of the filing of the bill the defendant Mary continued in receipt of the rents and possession of the property granted by the deed of 1770. William C. Jackson died in 1835, having devised the premises to his daughters Ellen and Anne, who proved his will, and in 1838 they filed their original bill against David Jameson and Mary his wife, alleging that the judgment debt was long since paid off by perception of the rents and profits, and in particular charging that the defendant Mary had received for the house No. 23 two fines, one of £68. 5s., and another of £100 from the tenants to whom she had let them, and praying that they might be put in possession of the premises, and for an account of the sums received by Lord Londonderry, and the defendants, on foot of the judgment, and that the defendants might be decreed to pay over the balance after all fair credits. The defendants by their answer insisted on their right to certain sums expended for improvements on the houses, and denied that the two sums of £68. 5s. and £100 were paid as fines, but were given by the tenants for licences to sell spirits, and insisted that a balance still remained due on foot of the judgment. The plaintiff Anne having died after issue joined, a bill of revivor and supplement was filed in March 1845, and in June l846 a decree was pronounced, referring it to the Master to take an account of the sums received by Lord Londonderry and the defendants out of the premises, and of the sums laid out in permanent repairs and improvements, and to calculate interest thereon from the time same were advanced.
