Leases mentioning Sandymount Co Wicklow.
This page is to help me to find the ancestors of Rev.
William JACKSON (1737-1794) - the United Irishman. In the hope of protecting
his estate for his wife, he took poison in the hours after his conviction but
before his sentencing and died in the court. His wife was pregnant with their 2nd child and lived in France for the next 20 years. It has been slim pickings when
it comes to readily available evidence about either of them. So far, I have
been unable to find a first name for either his father or mother. My starting
point was that his mother was a member of the GORE family, and an aunt of his was
married to Dr. Edward SALE, a lawyer. I will soon be posting a blog piece on my progress with this
mystery.
Just to confound amateurs like myself, it turns out that
there are two Sandymount Parks – one in Co. Wicklow, and one on the outskirts
of Dublin, and both have connections to Jackson leases. The ones for the Co.
Wicklow Sandymount show connections between GORE, SALE and JACKSON families of
the late 1600s and early 1700s. At the bottom of this post, I have links to other
work that I have done as part of making sense of these connections.
It may also be that there is a family connection between the
KENNEDYs in Co. Wicklow of Newtownmountkennedy and the KENNEDYs of Co. Down. I
will post more on that front as this work progresses. In the meantime:
Thanks to Shane Wilson’s post on the IGP Co. Dublin Facebook
site in July 2018, I was reminded of Taylor
and Skinner’s 1777 map. |
|
| More detail beneath - NOTE: Tinny Park is right beneath Sandymount. |
|
Taylor
and Skinner’s 1777 map has North at the bottom and South at the top. I
have created a version with our current North-South orientation.
Because I traced the original before adding the names and places, the icons for
the houses are upside down.
This glitch is part of how I continue to retain
my amateur status.

|
In the clip of a contemporary Ordnance Survey Map beneath,
I have used red circles to identify places from the Taylor & Skinner map,
and green ones to indicate my best guess for places where the exact location
is still not known to me - yet. So far, these place names include:
- Willow Grove, home of William LAMB Esq. (will
proved 1724) – his son was Charles LAMB. The LAMB family connection is
of interest because of leases described near the bottom of this post.
- Johnstown - possibly in Parish of Kilcoole.
- Sandymount (leased at various times by members of
the SALE, GORE and JACKSON families in the 1700s). It is probably in
Parish of Newtown Upper (which used to be referred to as Manor of
Mountkennedy). This parish is west of the Parish of Newcastle Lower and
south of the Parish of Kilcoole.
- Seaview (home of GORE family). I am not sure
which townland it was in.

Some leases suggest a possible link between at least one
branch of the GOREs and either the JACKSONs of Duddington, Northamptonshire or else the JACKSONs of Kirkby Lonsdale, Westmorland and Coleraine, Londonderry.
- Since Sandymount is not a townland, it was likely located
within the boundaries of one of the townlands mentioned in the leases beneath.
The Francis JACKSON mentioned is probably Francis JACKSON d 1740. He was
the 2nd surviving son of Thomas JACKSON of Duddington Hall. SEE: JACKSONs of Duddington.
- The CUSACK mention is also intriguing because an Arthur
GORE (d btw 1726-1730) married a Maybella CUSACK (d bef 1733). This Arthur
GORE was a son of Brig. Gen. Francis GORE (d. abt 1723) and Catherine GORE
– a marriage which joined the GOREs of Co. Clare with those GORES from Co.
Mayo.
- The Richard GORE (1728-1816) of Sandymount, mentioned above, was a son of Sir Ralph GORE
(1675-1733) of Donegal & Dublin & Elizabeth ASHE (?-1741) of Derry
& Dublin. SEE: The ASHE
family.

The MITCHELBURN-JACKSON link is also enticing.
- Richard MITCHELBURN and John MITCHELBURN were
brothers.
- Richard MITCHELBURN (d. btw. 1715-1719) and was of Ballyarthur,
Parish Castlemacadam, Barony Arklow. He married a Mary JACKSON, I have yet
to find any JACKSON family connection for her.
- Col. John MITCHELBURN (1647-1721) married Susan
BERESFORD (d. 1706). Her first husband was William JACKSON (1628-1688)
SEE: JACKSONs of Kirkby Lonsdale, Westmorland and Coleraine,
Londonderry. Their marriage was not a happy one, and she died
at the St. Mary’s Lane Dublin residence of her brother-in-law Samuel
JACKSON (1641-1706).
- It is not impossible that Mary JACKSON was a relation of the
William JACKSON of Coleraine.
- Richard MITCHELBURNE’s will is suggestive of other
connections to land leases near Sandymount, as is the will of Edward
RILEY. I have yet to follow up on these.
The ASHE family is another worthwhile line of inquiry with respect to connections between GOREs
and JACKSONs. The class of people who held title to significant leases was
quite small, and intermarriages were the rule not the exception.

not know the surname of his maternal grandmother - and would love to find

- Jacksons of Tobermore. This is a start on making
sense of the likely ancestry and connections of the JACKSONs of Tobermore
- possibly connected to JACKSONs of Coleraine as well as several lines
of JACKSONs in Co. Down. If new evidence comes to light, some of my
assumptions may need to change. I look forward to learning from the
insight of others.
