2023 William JACKSON of Sligo – Methodists from Parish of Emlaghfad.

 

The initial research used to build this tree came from available BMDs, as well as from a family tree that was online in 2009. The link for it is no longer active. The question remains – who were the ancestors of this William JACKSON? It is possible that they were Presbyterian in a previous generation. The Ballymote Presbyterian church paired with the Presbyterian church of the Town of Sligo. That church had begun in 1695 with ministers from congregations in Antrim and Londonderry (where there are many possibilities for JACKSON ancestors). Of particular interest with respect to a possible JACKSON-Co. Sligo connection is the Rev. Luke ASHE (1705-1742). His sister Sarah married John JACKSON. They had 15 children, 11 of whom have no known fore-names (They came from an ASHE family history), and a connection to Sligo would not be unlikely. SEE: Jacksons of Tobermore.

With respect to other possible ancestors of this William JACKSON it is worth tracking connections to the townland of Emlaghfad, Parish Emlaghfad, Barony Corran: SEE: Memorials of Sligo Deeds from 1708-1899:

  • Francis JACKSON (1769-1834) son of George JACKSON and Jane CUFFE, married Elizabeth MARTIN. Francis JACKSON became bankrupt. He and Elizabeth MARTIN had a son George Francis JACKSON who may have had children. Francis & ELizabeth may also have had more than one son. SEE: JACKSONs of Enniscoe and Carramore, Co. Mayo
  • Dorcas ORMSBY (bef 1680-btw 1769-1772 married Francis KING (d. 1708) and then Edward JACKSON (bef 1689-bef 1745). There were no known children, but there may have been ones who we have yet to find.
  • Thomas JACKSON of Lavally [Lavally, Parish Killerry, Barony Tirerrill], also held lands in the Parish Emlafad [Emlaghfad] Barony Corran and he may be related. SEE: Descendants of Thomas JACKSON of Co. Sligo - of Coloony, Lavally, Gortlownan & Teretick etc.
