My earliest documented JACKSON family member is George JACKSON
(1718-1792). Amy
Oliver JACKSON (1874-1962), daughter of Sir Thomas JACKSON (1841-1915), left us
two incompatible versions of our family history. Both were written in the early
1950s and each claims a different county for the Jackson’s first connection to
Ireland. Take your pick:
My
Father came of an English family, one of whom went to Ireland as an officer in
the Army in Queen Elizabeth's reign- was given a grant of land in County Cavan.
Or:
The
Jacksons came from Northamptonshire and went to Ireland in Elizabeth's reign,
and were given grants of land in Co. Carlow (N. Leinster) for
distinguished service in the Army.
Other family histories allege that the JACKSON family origin was in Yorkshire, some in Lancashire and
then of course, as in the version above – Northamptonshire.
Maybe all these versions are true. Maybe none are. Of course, Yorkshire and
Lancashire are cheek by jowl in the north of England, but Northamptonshire is a
good bit south. If the
Northamptonshire part is right, then the Duddington JACKSONs are a tantalizing guess (I will put together their tree soon). Other JACKSON trees, such as the Quaker Jacksons, or
the Jacksons of Coleraine or the Jacksons of Drogheda also have arguments in
support of them being connected to our dear old George.
To use a fishing analogy, what I have
been doing ever since is fishing with a seine net rather than a line. The resulting
catch is such an impossible heap to do anything with, I have then entered the information
on all these Jackson “fish” into tables. A side benefit is that this information
may assist others. So, here goes:
TABLES OF INFORMATION ON IRISH JACKSONS (mostly up to the
mid-1800s) [SEE Also Family Trees ]
Data referring to JACKSONs in specific Counties in
Ireland NOTE: See also documents that are filed un Specific Counties.
Description |
Date |
Jacksons found in Co. Carlow & Co. Wicklow I have two
requests of readers. Firstly, this is a 30 page document and I have had to
wrestle with some aspects of getting it onto a readable page. Please let me
know if it works for you. Secondly, If you have trees that link any of the
earlier names to more recent ones, I would love to learn more. NOTE: I have
not interpolated data from the 1901 Census since it seemed to shed no
significant new light on what I already had. |
June 3, 2010 |
JACKSONs found in Carlow Church of Ireland Records NOTE:
Since my focus is JACKSONs, I didn’t look much at non-JACKSON witnesses. I
have checked the image of the register for all the burials and Baptisms and
selected records otherwise. I have sorted the three tables (Marriages;
Baptisms and Deaths) chronologically. |
July 2, 2010 |
Jacksons in Carlow Griffiths Valuations Jacksons who
show up in Griffiths Valuation in Co. Carlow. This page also includes a map. |
July 2, 2010 |
Jacksons In Co. Down Probates The Newtown JACKSONs seem
to be tied into the John JACKSON, born 1624 Eccleston, Lancashire, England. Updated. |
July 4, 2010 |
JACKSON Freemen of Dublin NOTE: This is merely the start
of a work in progress - trying to learn more about these men and who their
families may have been. I am particularly interested in the ones with Quaker
links. |
January 26, 2010 |
Jacksons in Co. Cavan I have just completed a number of
interrelated pages concerning early property holdings in Co. Cavan.
Firstly, there is the list that Coote replicated from Pynnar on lands in 1618-1619. Secondly, a page where I make
a stab at following the older place names into what they are more
frequently known as today.
Thirdly, early sightings of JACKSONs in Co. Cavan.
Finally, a list of the proprietors in Co. Cavan in 1802 - which includes one lone JACKSON. |
May 20, 2010 |
JACKSONs at Trinity College, Dublin I have sorted the
material by date. This is my first stab at documenting who is who. I am
hopeful that others will contribute and then we can find homes for all of
these JACKSONs. Updated |
August 23, 2010
July 7, 2011 |
JACKSONs in 1600s Parish Registers in Dublin After
bashing my head on many brick walls, I have decided to start looking at as
many JACKSONs as I can find in Ireland in the 1600s. My reasons are self
serving. I know that my particular JACKSONs came over to Ireland in that
century, although which particular batch they belonged to, I haven't a clue.
Most of these JACKSON records included beneath will be ruled out as
significant to me in the long run, but may be significant for others. Many of
them may have been mainly in Antrim or Down or Carlow or goodness knows where
else – but they still had links to Dublin as well. |
October 3, 2010 |
JACKSONs of St. Nicholas Parish, Dublin I will revisit
this page early in the new year. For now, this is as far as I can take it. |
October 26, 2010 |
JACKSONs of St Andrews Parish, Dublin I will revisit
this page early in the new year. For now, this is as far as I can take it. |
October 26, 2010 |
JACKSONs of St. Audoens Parish, Dublin The number of
JACKSONs in this parish with military connections intrigues me. I have much
to learn here and will get back to this material early in the new year. |
October 26, 2010 |
JACKSONs of St. Brides Parish, Dublin The JACKSONs in
this parish seem to be primarily trades people. I have more to learn and will
get back to this page in the new year. |
October 26, 2010 |
JACKSONs of St. Catherines Parish, Dublin I have done
more work on the JACKSONs of this Parish than I have been able to for the
pages relating to other parishes. More work still awaits me however and I
hope to get to it early in the new year. |
October 26, 2010 |
JACKSONs of St. Michans Parish, Dublin This parish
intrigues me because of its connection to the JACKSONs of Ballybay who were
involved in the United Irishmen. It may very well be that they were also
related to some of the earlier JACKSONs in this parish. |
October 26, 2010 |
JACKSONs of St. John Parish, Dublin Like many of the
other pages of parish churches in Dublin, I have a great deal more work to do
- but it will have to wait until the new year. |
October 26, 2010 |
The Cancellation Books of Aghavilla, Parish of Carrigallen The last of David JACKSON's and Eliza OLIVER's children to be born at
Aghavilla aka Aughavilla was Mary JACKSON b 1844. There is a deed reference
that shows David JACKSON still connected to Aghavilla in 1849 August 27. This is the last mention of the land in
connection with him and his name does not show up in the records at the time
of the Griffiths Valuation in 1856-7. According to his marriage agreement, JACKSON had leased 86 acres and 17
perches or thereabouts - measured in Irish acres. This would work out to be a
little more than 139 acres English measure. It would seem that this would
then be the land leased by LaTouche to Rorke. The mystery is when and how the
land went from a leasehold held by David JACKSON to one held by Hugh RORKE. |
October 26, 2010 |
JACKSONs of Wexford, Wicklow & some Kildare This
dozen or so pages includes various bits that I have found relating to the JACKSONs
who had connections with either Co. Wexford or Co. Wicklow - with a few bits
from Kildare added as well. When I finish more deeds research, there will be
more to add - possibly in a separate page. |
January 5, 2010 |
Jacksons of Dundalk & Co. Louth At present, I do not
know how any of these Dundalk JACKSONs may connect with the John W. JACKSON
who called himself a cousin of Sir Thomas JACKSON in a letter sent about 1900. There may also be a connection
to the Charles Jackson memorialized at Clonaleenan Graveyard (see bottom of
page). |
January 15, 2011 |
1901 Census - JACKSONs in Co. Louth These Jackson
families are clustered in two cities in Co. Louth: Dundalk & Drogheda.
Jacksons living in each of these places may be pertinent to the study of the
background of Sir Thomas Jackson. Some are gone by the time of the 1911
Census. |
January 16, 2011 |
JACKSONs from Wicklow who appear in Deeds This list of
references does not capture anything like all the records of JACKSONs
connected to Co. Wicklow who appear in Memorials of Deeds, but it is a start. |
January 23, 2011 |
JACKSONs in Wexford mentioned in Memorials of Deeds I am
an absolute novice when it comes to research in Wexford, and am still trying
to place several townlands that are mentioned there. My notes beneath
illustrate the extent of my ignorance. Bit by bit, I will compare these
entries with other sources, and perhaps will learn more about them and their
families. In the meantime, if any of these JACKSONs are “yours”, please let
me know and I will add their particulars under the notes column. |
January 27, 2011 |
Robert Jackson of Crooked Staff, Dublin There are many
threads to follow with respect to linking Dublin-based JACKSONs with JACKSONs
in Co. Meath and elsewhere. This Robert JACKSON, a tanner of Dublin is only
one of them. Another possibly productive line of inquiry is checking out the
tanners named JACKSON in Ireland in the late 1600s. There were JACKSON tanners who were active in Co.
Down as well as in Drogheda. |
December 17, 2011 |
Jacksons mentioned in Co. Kildare Memorials of Deeds I
will be doing more work with this data in the near future, and placing more
of these people in family trees. When you see a name that is underlined and
in red caps, this means that the material was sourced from Nick Reddan's Deeds site. [Example: MOS.] I am grateful
for all the work done by the volunteer transcribers who submit material to
his site. I have added notes to these abstracts that include more details of
pertinent parishes, baronies and such. This helps to locate individuals,
especially when viewed with other property related documents. |
February 7, 2012 |
Jacksons of Kildare in Griffiths Valuation This
compilation of data is especially useful when looked at in conjunction with abstracts of Memorials of Deeds of JACKSONs in Co. Kildare.
I will be working on more related data and will soon write some companion
pieces as well as at least one family tree that I can construct as a result
of this data. |
February 8, 2012 |
Jacksons in Kildare 1835-1839 Voters List NOTE: I still
need to access the primary source for this, and I may tweak the following
table when I do. I would like to determine which address is residence and
which address represents the land leased or held under freehold. |
February 13, 2012 |
JACKSON in 1823-1837 ithe Applotments. Since
computer searches do better with consistent names - for example William
instead of Wm or Wllm - I have standardized them all. I find that this kind
of table is helpful when viewed alongside deed references, and other land
documents. |
February 13, 2012
December 4, 2021 |
Jacksons of Ballygibbon Snippets There are several
family branches of Jacksons of Ballygibbon, Co. Kildare that will likely interconnect
when more is known. None of them are extensive enough to really be called
trees - branches is more like it. Shrubs, perhaps. |
February 22, 2012 |
Jacksons of Co, Cavan. I have two charts of data on
Jacksons of Co. Cavan. They need to be merged, but I don't have the time
right now. The original one is here. |
April 25, 2012 |
Jacksons of Co. Dublin I have included all deeds where
the JACKSON person referenced is "of Dublin" or else, the property
that they held was in Dublin even though they may have been resident
elsewhere. |
August 24, 2012 |
JACKSON obits in the Limerick Chronicle Just because
these obits were in the Limerick Chronicle does not mean that all the people
mentioned in them were only from Co. Limerick. Many were, but many are there
for other reasons. Perhaps someone thought it fitting to pay for an ad in the
Chronicle because there were family and/or business ties. There is a search
box on the site, and when you type in the names of other counties, the
results can be quite rewarding. |
September 21, 2012 |
JACKSON mentions in Co Limerick. Just because these bits
of information were in the Limerick Chronicle and other sources connected to
Co. Limerick does not mean that all the people mentioned in them were only
from Co. Limerick. Many were, but many are there for other reasons. |
September 21, 2012 |
I have transcribed, annotated and posted the probates of JACKSONs of Co. Meath. |
May 13, 2013 |
Probates of Jackson who died in Co. Wicklow. I am
getting tantalizingly close to being able to click a number of these people
into a family tree. At present, I have a stub of a tree including a number of JACKSONs from Woodfield aka Woodfieldglen in Co. Wicklow. If readers know more, it shouldn't take much to make a larger leap. |
May 15, 2013 |
Kildare Valuations for JACKSONs and LYNCHs.WARNING:
These notes were taken at great speed, and need to be double-checked against
the originals. In my haste, I did leave off the identifying dates of the
books that the entries were transcribed from. Their use is primarily as a
starting point. NOTE: Valuation books contain the revisions of ownership
recorded after the Griffiths Valuations wich took place in the mid-1850s. |
May 15, 2013 |
JACKSONs in St Peters Drogheda Parish. Although the
records span a much larger time frame than my transcriptions might indicate,
I transcribed every JACKSON that I could find in Vol 1, and then cherry
picked in Vol 2. There did not seem to be any more JACKSONs where I would
have expected to see them. It seems likely that they were part of another
Parish by the time of the 2nd volume. NOTE: They have since showed up, and have been added. |
May 17, 2013
June 20, 2014 |
Probates of Jacksons of Cavan. I have interpolated
census and other material into this chart of probates of Jacksons who died in
Co. Cavan.. It helps to situate each person within a larger context. |
May 26, 2013 |
Jacksons in Co. Cavan - a preliminary Chart. This chart
organizes the JACKSON appearances in Co. Cavan by year. If you cut and paste
it into a word document, then you can sort it by townland, parish or Barony -
whatever you like. |
May 26, 2013 |
Research relating to early JACKSONs in Co. Cavan.
Earlier versions are at Version One and Version
Two. There is also a page
with a map of Cavan, and where I focused on townland names. For a
chattier version, and one that may be easier to follow for the first time,
see my blog post: Jacksons of Cavan. |
May 26, 2013 |
Strettell Jackson of Co. Cork This is one of those pieces
of research where I cobble together what I can, and try to make sense of it.
When I can go no further, I post it in the hopes that either someone else can
make sense of it all, or else some parts of it will help someone else to
break through their brick wall. This focuses on JACKSONs in Co. Cork, but the
family had connections to many other counties and families, particularly in
the Quaker and Protestant circles, but not exclusively in them.NOTE: There
are also extensive footnotes about both Strettell and Lodowick JACKSON of
Youghall, Co. Cork. |
May 27, 2011 |
| JACKSONs recorded in Dublin Probates. I will be adding to the notes on the people in these probates, but decided to post what I have in case others can also help out here in the meantime. My hope is to eventually have all them connected into known JACKSON lines. |
May 5, 2013 |
| Research Notes for Jacksons of Coleraine. Hopefully, this rudimentary start may be of help to others researching people in Coleraine. I will likely add to it as I learn more. |
June 29, 2013 |
| Timeline of Jackons of Coleraine. This timeline includes data from web sites, books, deeds, and archives. It is by no means exhaustive, although it already runs to close to 20 pages. |
June 29, 2013 |
| Leases of land in Dublin with known connections to JACKSONs of Coleraine. The earliest memorials of leases of land in Dublin connected
to the JACKSONs of Coleraine involved Samuel JACKSON (1641-1706). He was
related to most if not all of the JACKSONs mentioned in the leases in the table
beneath. Bit by bit, I am entering this data into my Rootsweb
version of the family tree. |
August 27, 2016 |
| Jacksons in St. Peters Church Dublin. I have made a start at interpolating other known facts. Where possible, I have included a link to a known family tree. In future, correlating this data with deeds research will likely be productive. |
July 10, 2013 |
| Jacksons in St. Mary's Church of Ireland, Dublin. I am trying to situate these JACKSONs in various family trees in order to determine the extent to which they may or may not be related. As I learn more, I will update this page. |
June 16, 2013 |
| Isaac JACKSON Note: This document is significant since the
early Quaker JACKSONs who resided in Ireland in the often named their sons
Isaac, and yet we do not yet have one in this time frame. For example, an Isaac
JACKSON (1655-1751) was the eldest son of Anthony JACKSON (1628-1696), and
the name was oft repeated in that family. I do not yet know who the Isaac
JACKSON in this document is, but it would not be impossible that he was a
brother of the early Quakers Richard JACKSON (1626-1679) & Anthony
JACKSON (1628-1696) – who were supposedly brothers. |
August 6, 2013 |
| Jacksons of Co. Carlow. This page pulls together references to deeds and a few other bits that I have surrounding Esther JACKSON and her leases at Coolmana, aka Nashe's Quarter in Co. Carlow. I have also appended a tentative family tree - rather mor of a shrub actually, as well as a similar one for her SHARP family. This is all in the hopes that we may be able to tie them into another tree of JACKSONs. Possibilities include JACKSONs in Carlow, Wicklow, Kildare as well as Lanark Co., Ontario, Canada. |
September 16, 2013 |
| Jackson Marriages in Dublin records. It has been and will continue to be
a huge project to track all these people down. Because of other commitments, I
must set it aside for a while. Still, I thought it worthwhile to post in its
incomplete form since there is already lots of useful material. I am hoping
that others can take the bits that I haven’t done, and let me know if they have
information to add. I will update this page as time permits. |
September 24, 2013 |
| GENEALOGICAL NOTES OF THE ROSE FAMILY. This document is intriguing because there seem to be links between Josiah
JACKSON of Athy and Robert JACKSON of Crooked
Staff, Dublin. |
October 1, 2013 |
| Deeds and such relating to JACKSONs etc. This page is a simply
a compilation of a number of documents relating to JACKSONs, HONEs, HUNTs, and
VICARs. It is intended to be a help to anyone researching these interconnected
families. |
October 1, 2013 |
| JACKSONs in the Down Survey. I will add more links to these 5 men as I learn more. For now,
knowing the names of the townlands is a great help in moving forward. I intend
to look for them next time I am in the deeds registry (nect spring). NOTE: All acreage is in Plantation measure. |
October 29, 2013 |
| Townlands in Tyrone lease - Thomas
JACKSON 1743 July 25. Most of these Tyrone townland names do not appear anywhere
else, other than in this lease, in Google searches. The extent of the holdings
mentioned in this list of 66 townland names and their alternate names is
significant. I have been trying to determine where they all are as part of a
clue to unravelling the ancestry of various JACKSON lines. Some of my guesses
are pretty far-fetched. I am hoping that people who know more about Tyrone
townland names can set me straight, or perhaps add to what I have found out
thus far. |
November 21, 2013 |
| Jacksons in Co. Tyrone in Griffiths Valuation. More needs to be done to learn more about the family links between these JACKSONs. |
November 21, 2013 |
| Leases owned by JACKSONs connected to Urker & Liscalgot. Following the JACKSON leases in the Barony of the Fews, Co. Armagh will likely be a key to several unanswered questions. It came out in court case concerning the murder of George M’Clean on Dec 4, 1846 that a long lease held by Eliza JACKSON was cancelled: One cause assigned for the murder is that Mrs. Jackson was dispossessed of a large farm a few days ago, on the expiration of a long lease, and part of the lands were given to one Middleton, bailiff to the property, and who is nephew to the deceased . Since we do not know which lease it might have been, all are worth investigating. The ones that I know about so far include: Urcher, and Liscalgot in the parish of Creggan; Tulleyagallaghan, Cashel, Ummerinvore, and Tullyvallen in the parish of Newtownhamilton. |
November 22, 2013 |
| Jacksons of Creekstown Co. Meath.There is a story here that is itching to be told about these
JACKSONs. I keep scratching, but so far have not got to the bottom of it. These
documents might help others put the pieces together. |
April 18, 2014 |
| Jacksons of Rathe, Co. Meath. These are just some random snippets which will hopefully end up being helpful to connect people into older family trees - in particular, those associated with Lisnaboe, Co. Meath & Ballybay, Co. Monaghan. |
June 19, 2014 |
| BMDs of Co. Down, My focus was on JACKSONs and names known to have married into the family. It is by no means exhaustive, in part because the films I was working with varied in quality - as did my vision, depending on the time of day. |
July 3, 2014 |
| Jacksons and others in Parish of Knockbreda, Barony of Castlereagh Upper, Co. Down. Griffiths valuations. |
July 3, 2014 |
| Probates of JACKSONs of Co. Down. I have also done a tree of the JACKSONs of Co. Down which includes many of these people, and there are many more of them in my tree who are also likely to be connected. This is just a start. There are also later abstracts which can be found at PRONI Will Calendars Search. |
July 3, 2014 |
| JACKSON Freeholders of Castlereagh.Extracted from PRONI Freeholders records
(with a few others thrown in). I searched for John JACKSON, and picked up a few
others in the by-catch. |
July 3, 2014 |
| JACKSONs of Killyman Parish. These JACKSONs of Killyman, Co. Armagh are not "my JACKSONs" - at least as far as I know, but I am curious about migrations of early JACKSONs in Ireland. I am sharing this in the hopes that we can all learn more. NOTE: This page was made possible thanks to transcriptions by Peter McWilliam. |
|
| The Probates of JACKSONs in Co. Antrim reveal a remarkable level of interconnections. Most of the ancestors of these families are likely to have been in Antrim since the mid-1600s.
I have assembled this using probates available from the indexes at National Archives - sorted by date
and have annotated then with additional information from Census and other sources. |
March 18, 2015 |
| The records of Millrow First Presbyterian Church reveal a number of JACKSONs from a number of townlands surrounding the town of Antrim. There were also other JACKSONs in these townlands, and they likely attended the Church of Ireland. |
March 18, 2015 |
Jacksons in A Directory to the market towns, villages, gentlemen’s seats and other noted Places in Ireland. This is a smattering of JACKSONs who qualified to be called "Gent" in 1814. |
March 18, 2015 |
| Many of the JACKSONs of Christ's College are members of families who resided in Ireland. |
March 18, 2015 |
| The Jacksons of Loonburn, Co. Antrim are connected to the
JACKSONs of Steeple, Co. Antrim. Part of my work this spring will be figuring
out how they connect. NOTE: I have included some Islandmagee JACKSONs because they
are descendants of the Loonburn and likely of the Steeple JACKSONs and hence will
turn out to be pertinent. |
March 18, 2018 |
| There are only bits of the 1851 Census available. Here are some JACKSON bits - from Larne, Co. Antrim. |
March 18, 2015 |
| Ballyprior Graveyard, Islandmagee, Co. Antrim. These Jacksons all tie into the JACKSONs of Islandmagee and trace back to the JACKSONs of Loonburn and possibly the JACKSONs of Steeple. |
March 19, 2015 |
| JACKSONs of Kings Co. aka Offaly. The main purpose of
this page is to explore the links between various JACKSONs of Grange, Parish of
Sierkieran, Kings Co. The clusterings of parishes where JACKSONs can be found is likely meaningful in terms of familial connections. |
February 27, 2016 |
| Snippets of JACKSON-CLARK connections. There is a JACKSON-CLARK[E] connection in Co. Antrim that I have yet to
nail down |
August 16, 2016 |
| JACKSONs of Steeple. There are a number of JACKSONs who are linked
to Steeple by either land holdings or marriage - or are connected on the basis of my hunches. Many of them owned sizable land holdings in Steeple, Holywell & the town of
Antrim – all very close together, as well as some holdings in nearby Loonburn Co. of Antrim. |
August 16, 2016 |
| JACKSON representatives in the Irish House of Commons. For at least a century, there was an almost unbroken line of very
closely related JACKSONs serving in the Irish House of
Commons 1692-1800. During this century, there were several other representatives
who were closely related to them by marriage, GORGES and BERESFORD chief among
them. See also: Wikipedia Irish House of Commons. |
August 18, 2016 |
| JACKSONs from the Grantors' Index 1708-1799. I have also also shared these transcriptions on Nick
Reddan’s Deeds Project. About 1/4 of these references are new to me - ones that I did not have until I did this latest batch of transcriptions. This batch includes every image on the Family Search page of grantors that mentions JACKSON grantors 1708-1799. I have marked the new ones with an X. The rest of them had already been included in the tables of memorials that I have already uploaded. |
February 8, 2017 |
| JACKSON BMDs from the Belfast Newsletter. This 9 page chart also includes a fair bit of me thinking-out-loud as well as a lot of verified facts and relationships. June 14, 2019Added another table of pre-1800 notes - many from Antrim and elsewhere.. |
March 20, 2017
June 14, 2019 |
| JACKSONs of Co. Down - a Townland sort. I have interpolated many of the records of JACKSONs recorded in 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]. |
March 20, 2017 |
| This chart of Jackson Baptisms in Co Down is just a start. I will update it after I get back from my spring 2017 trip to Ireland. More to come. |
March 25, 2017 |
| JACKSONs in 1st Monaghan Presbyterian |
June 9, 2019 |
| 1766 Religious Census – JACKSONs NOTE: I have yet to post research
on the JACKSONs of Tyrone & Fermanagh – and will include links when I do. |

| Mentions of Francis JACKSON in Indexes to Court Records - compiled by Dr Francis Crossle and his son Philip Crossle in the late 19th century. |
March 20, 2021 |
| JACKSONs mentioned in various editions of the Gentleman and Citizen’s Almanac - with my idiosyncratic notes – all for purposes of easy
reference when researching JACKSONs. My focus was on the legal and clerical appointments. |
June 25, 2021 |
| Legar Hill JACKSONs. The early JACKSONs of Co. Armagh continue to present a mystery - where did they come from? These records of three graves at Legar Hill may help to provide a clue. |
January 17, 2022 |
| 1659 "Census" of Ireland - JACKSON mentions.This falls short of being a true census since it only
notes the tituladoes aka the big landowners of the day. Even so, it does
us back to pre-1708, the date when leases were first recorded in the Memorials
of Deeds. As a result, it strengthens some of my hunches and takes us further
back in time. My footnotes will likely get added to – when I can get to
it. |
December 14, 2022 |
| These 1802 letters concern the fate of Elizabeth JACKSON, the widow of the United Irishman Rev. William JACKSON (abt
1737-1795). He had committed suicide while in the dock of a Dublin Court awaiting
sentencing for his “treasonous” acts. His rationale for committing suicide had been to avoid his assets being seized should he be sentenced to capital punishment. These two letters, seven years after his
death, concern Elizabeth's so far unsuccessful attempts to secure financial help and support in France for their two children. The wealth which she had previously enjoyed was no more.
There is much more to learn. What happened to the properties that Rev. William
would most likely have inherited from his JACKSON and GORE ancestors? Were there actually any properties that Elizabeth had rights to? If yes, where were they and who benefited? It always helps to follow the money (or in Ireland's case - follow the land). |

Description |

The Ejected of 1662 in Cumberland and Westmoreland : Their
Predecessors and Successors, Vol 2. This is a fascinating document with
many, many references to both JACKSONs and also MAULEVERERs (another family
that had roots in Northern Ireland). There is also quite a bit about the
context of Quakers, Presbyterians and the Established church in the mid-1600s
in Westmoreland. |

Jacksons of Christ's College from Yorkshire, Westmorland
& Lancashire My purpose in assembling this table and highlighting
various words is to support those researchers who are working to establish
links between the various JACKSON families who emigrated to Ireland in the
1600s and then perhaps also went back and forth to England for reasons of
study, business or family. The JACKSONs of Coleraine were definitely
connected to the Clothworkers part of the plantation settlements in the early
1600s, but more is still to be learned of them. They were also not the only
line of JACKSONs to settle in Ireland in this time frame, although it is not
unlikely that other lines will turn out to have some tangential relationship
with them. Leeds, Westmorland and Yorkshire were specific places that many of
them hailed from. |

instances of the name JACKSON, but also of some of the known relations of Sir
Thomas JACKSON (1841-1915). When I learn more about some of these people, I
will annotate them. It is most likely that the Mrs. DARE mentioned was Sarah
Shrieve PARKE (1817-1879) the mother of Amelia Lydia DARE (1851-1944) who was
the wife of Sir Thomas JACKSON. |

My intention is to shed light on several lines of JACKSONs
who ended up in Ireland in the 1600s and 1700s. They may or may not be related,
but many of the mid-1600s English settlers in Ireland (especially around
Coleraine) were alleged to have originated from Westmorland. This is what makes
the Parish of St. Mary’s Kirkby Lonsdale so intriguing. There were not only
many JACKSON families included in their parish, but several who were known to
have settled in Ireland. The frequency of certain naming patterns leads me to
suspect that they may be related.

| Middleton in Lonsdale, Westmorland Parish Register. The purpose of this post is because I am tracking JACKSONs of Kirkby Lonsdale in Westmorland and environs. Many of these JACKSONs settled in Ireland in the 1600s, and their descendants put down long-term roots. This is part of an attempt to sort them out. I have appended two wills beneath showing in the late 1500s: Hugh JACKSON=Isobel BAINBRIGGE, children: Miles JACKSON & Margaret JACKSON |

| Jacksons mentioned in Ships' Manifests: The frequent journeys by JACKSONs from England to Ireland in the 1630s is interesting. At present, I have no knowledge about if or how these people in the chart beneath may or may not be related. There are certainly a few tantalizing mentions of JACKSONs in Coleraine prior to the 1630s, and their eventual full time settlement in Ireland happened soon after – if not before. |

| JACKSONs in the London Rolls. Because sons of the JACKSONs
of Kirkby Lonsdale served as apprentices in the Clothworkers, Drapers and
Goldsmiths Companies, and then settled in Coleraine, Londonderry, Dublin and
elsewhere in Ireland, there are likely clues that will prove to be helpful in
linking them. There is every indication that the JACKSONs had connections in
Ireland during the Elizabethan era, if not before. For more clues for JACKSONs: Cumberland
and Westmoreland papers. NOTE: The word “Callender” is used in conjunction with
Clothworkers. A callender stone is used to polish fabric. In time, I will
update this chart with other links as I learn more. The names of the Masters who
had JACKSON apprentices is also of interest – names such as GORE and BELLEW,
for example. |

is Glassdrummond. We know that BALL had lands at Tullyvallen in trust for

whether or not there is a connection, but also whether there are enough

Jacksons of King Street near Stephens Green, Dublin. Samuel JACKSON died January 19, 1706. [See 1705 Will] Nine months after his death,
Richard JACKSON, his nephew, assigned two pieces of land on King St. near St. Stephen's Park to Joseph WORTHINGTON.
One lease included
a house on Kings St, and the other included a Waste piece of ground leading from Love
Lane to Kings St. In 1699, an earlier deed involving Samuel JACKSON had also referenced
land here on Kings St.
Samuel JACKSON had also built a Stable here sometime between 1699 and 1706. After the death of his nephew Richard JACKSON (1673-1730), the land was then owned by Richard JACKSON (1722-1787) of Forkhill, Co. Armagh, a grand-nephew of Samuel JACKSON (1641-1706) |
