These are the names of JACKSON men who were granted land in post-Cromwellian Ireland and were often known as "Adventurers". This was the investment system whereby wars were bankrolled by a mixture of either money or service (being a soldier). There are other records that include more names and/or other details. I have some on an earlier page called In the Beginning that I did years ago and which could benefit from an update.

JACKSON,
ABRAHAM (1589-1646?), divine, born in 1589, was son of a Devonshire clergyman.
He matriculated at Oxford from Exeter College on 4 Dec. 1607 (Or/. Univ. Reg.,
Oxf. Hist. Soc., vol. ii. pt. ii. p. 299); graduated B.A. in 1611; became
chaplain to the Lords Harington of Exton, Rutland; and proceeded M. A. when
chaplain of Christ Church in 1616 (ib. vol. ii. pt. iii. p. 303). In 1618 he
was lecturer at Chelsea, Middlesex. On 18 Sept. 1640 he was admitted prebendary
of Peterborough (LE NEVE, Fasti, ed. Hardy, ii. 546), and apparently died in
1645-6.
Jackson
wrote: 1. ' Sorrowes Lenitive; an Elegy on the Death of John, Lord Harrington,'
8 vo, London, 1614. In dedicating it to Lucy, countess of Bedford, and Lady
Anne Harington, Jackson observes that he has addressed them before in a similar
work. 2. ' God's Call for Man's Heart,' 8vo, London, 1618. 3. ' The Pious
Prentice . . . wherein is declared how they that intend to be Prentices may
