NOTE: I do not know where the first Daniel JACKSON came from, but a link
to the JACKSONs of Kirkby Lonsdale, Westmorland and Coleraine,
Londonderry is enticing. More work and/or more luck is needed. I suspect there could be a link to John JACKSON (1630-btw
1688-1693) of Bellaghy, father of Daniel & Sarah of Tullyvallen
JACKSONs. That John JACKSON had a brother Daniel, although his known
birth date does not match up. A cousin relationship is worth keeping eyes
open for.
NOTE: In PRONI T2125/12/3 Clogher marriages, there is a record of a Daniel JACKSON who married a Mary IRWINE in 1729. Did he marry more than once? |

JACKSONs. About 249 acres of Tullyvallen,
Parish of Creggan were granted to Thomas BALL to the use of Daniel & Sarah JACKSON. In another source,
Thomas BALL of Creggan was also listed in Ferguson Certificates as
having 5,253 acres as an assignee of Edward Richardson, Ellinor
Blackiston, Dan Jackson, Sarah Jackson,
Elisabeth Hepburne and Katherine Jones. SOURCE: The History of

that see the patent for other lands remitted which had been granted to
John ORSON and Edward ROWLEY but are not passed to them under ye Acts of
Settlement all of which had been conveyed to and purchased by the said Ball. NOTE: Edward ROWLEY was slain in battle December 31, 1641. His sister Anne
ROWLEY married Sir Tristram BERESFORD (1669-1701). Her great-grand-daughter
was Susan BERESFORD, wife of Capt William JACKSON (1628-1688) of Kirkby
Lonsdale and of Coleraine. Capt. William was the son of Rev. Richard JACKSON
(1602-1681). It is possible that John JACKSON was a brother of Capt. William
JACKSON.
Daniel & Sarah were the
infant children of John JACKSON of Antrim [SOURCES: Reports and Schedules claimed in respect of lands in Antrim]. John Jackson was one of the
ex-soldiers settled in the Parish of Dunaghy, Barony of Kilconway, County
Antrim who was displaced by Antrim's recovery of his estates His reprise in
the Fews consisted of 249 acres ‘in the north east part of Edward Rowley’s
retrenchment in Tullivallen’ and is included in the lands shown as Balls in
the Book of Survey and Distribution. SOURCE: Armagh: History and

466. NOTE: I assume that the children were either orphaned, or at least their
father was dead. The reference to Antrim's recovery is to Randal Macdonnell, 1st Marquess of Antrim. He was a
wealthy Catholic Landowner, who sued to gain back his estates and in 1665
succeeded, thus displacing the adventurers, such as John JACKSON, who had
been awarded the lands as a result of their service under Cromwell.
MacDonnell's 2nd wife was Rose O'NEILL, daughter of Sir Henry O'NEILL, but
they had no issue. The Parish of Dunaghy includes 37 townlands, one of which
is Ballyreagh - which means being cautious since there is also a townland of
that name in Co. Down, as well as in Coleraine. NOTE: Dunaghy, the site of
John Jackson's original land grant, is a parish just east of Ballymoney. It
may be worth noting that there were two JACKSON with holdings in Ballymoney
Town in the Antrim Hearth tax rolls in 1669: David JACKSON & ffranc aka
Francis JACKSON. If John JACKSON was a son of Rev. Richard JACKSON
(1602-1681), then Francis JACKSON was likely his brother. In the 1860s, at
the time of Griffiths Valuation, there were 4 JACKSONs in Ballymoney.
There is a good chance that this is the right Daniel JACKSON (Source: Inscriptions
