Nailing down the whereabouts of townlands that various JACKSONs took ownership of in Ireland  post 1641 is the first step to being able to connect them to later JACKSON leases, as well as to future possible interconnections between the various lines of JACKSONs. The Irish Records commission coupled with records on the Trinity University Down mapping project has been revealing.

SUMMARY WITH MAPS

NOTE: A curious omission in the Irish Records Commission 14th & 15th is any mention of  the holdings of Isaac JACKSON in Co. Meath (Oristown, (1,835 acres of it is now known as Baile Órthaí), Parish of Teltown It was one of the holdings of Samuel JACKSON (1641-1706) mentioned in his 1705 will. Fyanstown, Parish Donaghpatrick is on the western border of Oristown aka Baile Órthaí, Parish Teltown.

Townland of FYANSTOWN

Down Survey Name: Oristowne
1641 Owner(s): Barnwell of Brymore (Catholic)
1670 Owner(s): James Duke of York (Protestant); Barnewall, Matthias Baron Trimleston (Catholic); Jackson, Captain Isaack (Protestant)
County: Meath
Barony: Kells
Parish: Donnaghpatricke
Profitable land: 868 plantation acres

Forfeited: 868 plantation acres

NOTE: Fyanstown, Parish Donaghpatrick, Barony of Upper Kells, Co. Meath is on the western border of Oristown aka Baile Órthaí, Parish Teltown. SERIOUS HUNCH: Worth exploring: Since Isaak JACKSON was a Quaker, this could lead to the Quaker JACKSONs having more than business relationships with Samuel JACKSON and his family. They may be related.
