As part of trying to track down my ever elusive JACKSONs, I have also posted a few other documents that support some of this work.

Counties Cavan & Meath & early appearances of Jacksons

 

Amy Oliver JACKSON, daughter of Sir Thomas JACKSON, left us two family histories. 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.

 

I have double checked the originals to make sure that I wasn’t hallucinating. Since the Jackson name is frequent in both counties, I have decided to assemble and share what I can on each.

 

One line of JACKSONs that originated in Co. Cavan are the JACKSONs of Lisnaboe and later of Ballybay. They have been researched in considerable detail by Bill FARRELL at http://www.farrell-family.org/ These JACKSONs originate from Lisnaboe which is actually in current day Co. Meath, but at one time the boundaries were drawn differently and part of the townland was in Co. Cavan. Even though there is no known family link, “my” Jacksons” - the Jacksons of mid 1800s Urker, Co. Armagh - were seemingly connected to these JACKSONs of Ballybay. Incidentally, the well known linen family JACKSONs of Ballybay (hence originally from Meath/Cavan) may or may not be connected to these other Monaghan JACKSONS:

 

1 Richard Jackson d: 22 Jan 1834 m.Abt. 1791Margaret Irwin d: 02 Jul 1834   

........ 2 William Jackson  
................... 3 James Jackson   d: in of Clones, Co. Monaghan m. 03 Mar 1796 in First Armagh Presbyterian Church Mary Kidd b: in probably Keady

 

I will add more details as I learn them. My main interest here is in following the earliest dates that the name JACKSON appears in Cavan and nearby in Meath.

 

In the early 1600s, there were 68 Unnamed Freeholders and 20 lessees for life mentioned in A Statistical Survey of Cavan. No JACKSONs showed up. The landlords were named and looking at a combination of their names and the townlands may unearth other useful names:

Alexander JACKSON, Goldsmith granted lands situated in the County Meath, Baronies of Morgallion and Navan. Note; The Barony of Morgallion, County Meath adjoins the area where Lisnaboe is situated ( SEE” published copy of 1654 - 1656 County Meath Barony Map). The townland of Lisnaboe is situated in the Barony of Kells, County Meath. The County Meath Baronies of Kells, Navan and Morgallion adjoin each other.

The Adventurer named Alexander Jackson, Goldsmith of London, England, was granted lands in the County Meath Baronies of Navan and Morgallion. A sum of £100 was advanced for these lands. This Alexander was probably in residence in Meath by 1654. He appears to have been still alive in County Meath around 1670. To date nothing further is known about this man.

1654

The second Adventurer recorded in Eastmeath (County Meath) was a Thomas Jackson, Pewterer, Old Jewry, London. The information pertaining to his land grant is somewhat confusing because of references of County Tipperary. A Thomas Jackson, Adventurer (possibly the same person as above) is recorded in 1654 as having acquired lands situated in Eastmeath. The sum advanced for his lands was paid by the Butchers Company of London.

1655

William Edmundson was a minister of note, and he left a journal of his life and travels in the ministry which is still extant and in which the name of Robert Jackson believed to be a son of Richard Jackson, who sometimes accompanied him in his religious visits, frequently appears......
----------------------------
In the year 1655, induced by the promise of an extensive landholder in the county of Cavan, he went thither and purchased leases of several parcels of land for himself and certain of his friends, who were willing to go with him, among whom were Richard and Anthony Jackson. They removed the same year from Lurgan to Cavan with their families, and constituting a little settlement of kindred spirits, they established a Friends' meeting there. In a short time they found that the promises of their landlord were delusive. The tenants became dissatisfied, and several of them threw up their leases, and removed to Mountmellick. Of those who took this decisive step rather than submit to injustice, were William Edmundson and Richard Jackson, between whom the most intimate relations seem to have subsisted. This removal took place in 1659, and as a consequence a Friends' meeting was organized at Mountmellick, of which William Edmundson and Richard Jackson were leading members.
Anthony Jackson, for some reason, preferred to remain at Cavan, and as far as we have any information, he continued to reside there the rest of his life.......

1655

Rutty, referring to this circumstance, says: "William Edmundson, Richard Jackson, Anthony Jackson, John Thompson, Richard Fayle, John Edmundson, William Moon and their families removed and took land in the County of Cavan and dwelt there, and settled a meeting in that County."

Letter dated 20 May 1663 from the Earl of Orrery to the King concerning a planned insurrection. Part of this letter reads '...a great Anabapist named Jackson went to a remote company and tried to make it mutiny by telling the men they would be disbanded by half dozens and hanged by dozens. The two soldiers to whom he spoke were my spies and reported to me. I seized Jackson and sent him to the Lord Lieutenant. . .'.

Volume 2, Memorial of the Dead Page 77 Parish of Clontarf, County Dublin

Burial place of Mr. Alexander Jackson (no date given). Erected by his daughter Mrs Sarah Hadsor [sic Hadson] in memory of her father. Also Mrs Sarah Hadsor died 4 April 1751 age 75. (noted because of the forename Alexander and the date). Note; Clontarf is located on the north side of Dublin Bay some fifty miles south of the Lisnaboe area. NOTE: The date that I using to file this in this chart is a guess – based on the death of an Alexander JACKSON of Hogshawe's Buildings, Co. Dublin city, gent. He had a daughter Sarah Jane.

Alexander JACKSON of Hogshaw Buildings, Dublin. Will dated 6 Sept 1686. Children Arthur, Sara Jane, Margaret Mary Ms 141 now P8295B at National Library, Dublin
Additional Note: October 19, 2013. Thanks to an email from Don Hodgers, I am told that HADSOR is the correct spelling. They were an Anglo-Norman family who arrived in Ireland in 1185 with Prince John. They were granted land in Co. Louth, and a later branch settled in Dublin. The modern form of the name is HODGERS.

1815 I am a descendant of the retired soldier John Jackson. The research circulated about his military record is my research. This is not the only reference to the Jacksons living near Belturbet. John's nephew was baptized at Annah parish in 1815. The problem is that the records there begin only in 1801 and there are no other references. This could mean that the Jacksons lived nearby, or simply (as I think was very often the case) that the register was irregularly kept. SOURCE: email Gary French March 29, 2009
