In Crickstown, [aka Creekstown] barony of Ratoath, he received "a mansion house, orchard, garden, and groves,''. They were same BALL family with leases at Urker and elsewhere in Creggan Parish. Dorothy JACKSON (1696-1760) married John BALL.It is likely that this Thomas JACKSON was her uncle (1680-1750-51)

1730 Feb 23-24 UPDATE The John BALL (1702-1764) of this lease was a 1st cousin once removed of the Thomas BALL (1727-1798) who held leases with George JACKSON (1718-1782) of Urker. I suspect that this is the Thomas JACKSON (1680-1750) who was the uncle of the Dorothy JACKSON mentioned in the deed. He was the son of William JACKSON and Susan BERESFORD. In 1715, he married Margaret BERESFORD, and they had three children. In 1727, he held a seat in the Irish House of Commons for Coleraine. NOTE: There are some puzzling aspects to the name of Thomas JACKSON’s wife. There is a Thomas JACKSON who died in 1751 who was of Creekstown, Co. Meath, whose widow was named Anne – not Margaret. Given the family land connections to the BALL family, who owned the lease for this land, this would seem to be the same person. Perhaps there was a 2nd wife, as yet unknown.
