The Silver Bowl: Jackson Family Trees

The most up to date versions of these trees used to be in my Rootsweb tree but I have not been able to update that site for several years. For the JACKSONs who are part of my own line, there are the following clues, but as you can see - they don't all agree:

JACKSON trees that start in England and then have roots in Ireland
1575 – 1795	Westmorland Londonderry Coleraine Dublin Armagh Carlow Leeds Yorkshire	JACKSONs of Kirkby Lonsdale, Westmorland and Coleraine, Londonderry This branch of JACKSONs starts in Kirkby Lonsdale with William JACKSON (?-1626) and connects to significant players during the Siege of Derry amongst other events. It is also the family tree that leads to Richard JACKSON of Forkhill. Updated October 12, 2018 NOTE: This is a significant update - the annotated tree now includes about 80 pages of data. Update December 6, 2018. NOTE: I have deleted the children of Thomas JACKSON (1680-1751) and Margaret BERESFORD. They had been included based on material in Burke's and TGF Paterson's Notebook #5 (who may have got it from Burkes). I suspect there was a muddle with another genertion of Jacksons. Understandable!
1625 - 1812	Cambridge	JACKSONs of Brampton, in the Huntingdonshire district of Cambridgeshire, England Paulina PEPYS, the sister of the celebrated diarist Samuel PEPYS married a yeoman farmer, John JACKSON. Other than the fact that his father was a John JACKSON and he had brothers Richard and James, I do not know where he might fit into another JACKSON tree.
1761 - 1917	Westmorland Lancashire Yorkshire Ontario USA	JACKSONs of Kirkby Lonsdale and Lancashire. This tree includes the famed blacksmiths who did much work that still stands in Kirkby Lonsdale today. My personal interest in this tree is twofold: · I am curious to find out whether this branch is connected to William JACKSON (abt 1575-1626) of Kirkby Lonsdale (the lands he once owned included the land where the current Royal Hotel can be found). This line of JACKSONs had several sons who emigrated to Ireland in the 1600s: Coleraine and Dublin, as well as elsewhere. · This branch may also be connected to the JACKSONs who were active in Drogheda in the mid-1600s. They were part of the emergent yeoman, merchant, tradesman class (there seem to have been overlaps). Updated: March 3, 2016
1625 - 1802	Cambridge	JACKSONs of Godmanchester in the Huntingdonshire district of Cambridgeshire The first name is William JACKSON d. 1625 at Godmanchester. [Need to check will] NOTE: This is a companion tree to go with other files I have been working on. It is very much a work in progress. It is largely based on work done by a genealogist hired by Christopher Vane Percy. Updated: November 19, 2011
1500 – 1777	Derbyshire Staffordshire Belgium Pennsylvania Jamaica London Hampshire Dublin Berkshire	JACKSONs of Derbyshire, Berkshire, America & Dublin This line of JACKSONs begins with a William JACKSON b. abt 1500 in Sapperton, Derbyshire, England. The Santry family tree has been merged into this tree. I have bolded some of the names in the family tree to help other follow their connections to other lines of JACKSONs. · In abt 1600, Thomas JACKSON, a pewterer in London was born. · In 1604, Rev. John JACKSON was born. His family continued on where he had settled at Twyford, Berkshire. · Rev John JACKSON's grandson was Samuel JACKSON, a merchant who died in Philadelphia. One of Rev John JACKSON's sons was the Rev Daniel JACKSON of Santry, Dublin, Ireland, whose descendants continued on in Ireland. Updated: December 2, 2011
1560 - 1870	Nottinghamshire Derbyshire Chester Northumberland Cork Monaghan	Jackson of Nottinghamshire. This family starts in Nottinghamshire, and has descendants in Derbyshire, Chester, Northumberland and also Co. Cork & Co. Monaghan. Their family crest was mentioned in A Genealogical and heraldic history of the landed gentry of Great Britain and Ireland: Jacksons of Barton. Arms: Gules a fess between three sheldrakes argent. Crest: A sheldrake rising proper. Seat: Barton Hall, Preston, co. Lancaster. NOTE: There hints at connections with some of these Irish JACKSONs (and there are several more): · Jackson (Richard Jackson, Esq., of Preston, co. Lancaster; the representative of a family originally of co. Chester). Ar. on a chev. sa. betw. as many falcons' heads erased az. three cinquefoils pierced of the field. Crest—A falcon's head. Motto—Malo mori quam fcedari.(translated: Death rather than disgrace. NOTE: This motto is close in meaning to the arms of one of “my” JACKSONs, Sir Thomas JACKSON (1841-1915) of Urker, Crossmaglen, C. Armagh. It also had three birds: Aut Mors aut Vitoria (Either death or victory). · The same motto appears here: Jackson – (Beech Hill, County Surrey, Bart, extinct). A fest between three shovellers, tufted on the head and breast ar. each charged with a trefoil slipped vert. Crest: A shoveler as in the arms. Motto over: Innocentiae securas. Motto: Malo mori quam foedari[1]. SEE: Jacksons of Coleraine. · Jackson – (Forkill, County Armagh). Gu three shovellers tufted on the head and breast ar each charged with a trefoil vert. Crest: A shoveller as in the arms. Motto: Malo mori quam feodori. SEE: Jacksons of Coleraine & Kirkby Lonsdale. See also: · JACKSON Pewterers in London In the 1400s-1800s, Jacksons were active as pewterers in London. This table is quite revealing when it comes to seeing how active. Many of them link to the JACKSONs of Derbyshire. · JACKSONs in the London Rolls. There are several Nottinghamshire JACKSONs in the Clothworkers Guild as well as a 1699 record of a William JACKSON of East Bridgeford, Nottinghamshire who was the father of apprentice Robert JACKSON. His master was a Goldsmith, John JACKSON, Goldsmith.Records of London's Livery Companies Online. · There are photos of three JACKSON graves at – East Bridgeford History Group, but I do not have these people in this tree. · FindmyPast has 14 baptisms for JACKSONs of East Bridgeford. December 9, 2021.
1560 -1700	Staffordshire London	JACKSONs of Staffordshire This starts with a Robert JACKSON born abt 1560 in Stone, Staffordshire.I have transcribed wills for Alexander JACKSON and his son Abraham JACKSON. This family tree is based on these wills. My interest in them is connected to other JACKSONs who were goldsmiths, and also silversmiths in Ireland. Updated: December 10, 2011
1521 – 1887	Yorkshire Armagh Tyrone London Paris USA Dublin Londonderry Louth Galway Tipperary	JACKSONs of Doncaster This family began with Richard JACKSON b. abt 1521, and buried 1558 in Ledsham, Co. York. His descendants include family in Co. Tyrone including two cousins who married: James Edward JACKSON (Dean of Armagh) & Lydia JACKSON. I have highlighted in blue the known family members who either were born, married or died in Ireland, or were otherwise known to reside there. I expect that this list will grow as I learn more. This outline is followed by a detailed report which includes sources. Updated: February 27, 2012 The JACKSONs of Edderthorpe, in Yorkshire, England also have connections to Nottinghamshire & Kent. Also to Hickleton in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England. In a future update, I will add their various connections to Ireland. Updated October 24, 2018.
1570 – 1895	Northampton Limerick Lincoln Yorkshire Londonderry India Leicester Kings Dublin Bedfordshire	JACKSONs of Duddington [aka Doddingham], Northamptonshire, England. The tree begins with Nicholas JACKSON (1570-1662) and is of special interest to me because of the alleged Irish roots during the Elizabethan era of the family of Sir Thomas JACKSON (1841-1915) of Urker Crossmaglen, as well as that family's alleged connections to Co. Kildare. The earliest known Irish-settled member of the Duddington family is that of Francis JACKSON (1670-1740) who died in Fanningstown, Co. Limerick I have highlighted the Irish-linked people in blue so they are easier to see. There will likely be more to add as I continue with this work – and as other contributors pitch in with whatever they can find.
1624 – 1893	Yorkshire Lancashire Queens Antrim Londonderry Kings Cavan Belfast Waterford Meath Down Coleraine Tyrone	Quaker Jacksons in Ireland. In a family tree that is prevalent on the internet, these JACKSONs originated in Yorkshire. I have included the Yorkshire bits, although I consider their link as unlikely (at the same time, I realize that my take on this is controversial). The more reliable research (in my opinion) starts with Anthony JACKSON (1599-1666) of Eccleston, Lancashire, England. The story is that at least three of this his sons emigrated to Ireland: · John JACKSON (1624-) of Eccleston, Lancashire (and his name may have been Robert JACKSON, the head of a line of JACKSONs who settled in Co. Down). SEE: Jacksons of Co. Down. · Richard JACKSON (1626-1679) whose descendants lived at Mountmellick, Parish of Rosenallis, Queens County. One daughter was born at Carrickfergus in 1651, and one son at Lisburn in 1653. · Anthony JACKSON (1628-1681/96), He died in Co. Cavan. Anthony Jackson of Eccleston, Lancashire came to Ireland in 1649 and settled at Lurgan with his brother Richard. SOURCE: Richard S. Harrison, A Biographical Dictionary of Irish Quakers, (Four Courts Press, 1997), p64. Because of other JACKSONs in Co. Meath, this name is worth highlighting: · Richard JACKSON (1670-1742) b: Abt. 1670 in of Oldcastle, Co. Meath d: 1742 Also of interest in this tree, are the JACKSONs who were prominent in the printing trades in Dublin in the late 1700s, such as Isaac JACKSON (1705-1756).It would not surprise me if these JACKSONs turn out to be related to the Lisnaboe JACKSONs. Their politics were certainly congruent – both families supported the values of the United Irishmen, and were active in the movement in Dublin. Update: November 22, 2017. A major error has been corrected. All references to Killynure in Saintfield, Co. Down have been removed. The townland of Killinure was actually in Queens Co., which makes much more sense. Update July 24, 2018. Stonewall Jackson removed.
1626 - 1767	Lancashire Armagh Antrim Down Queens Cavan America	Quaker Tree # 3. Richard JACKSON (abt 1626-1679) was one of the early Quaker JACKSONs in Ireland. It is said that he served as a soldier in the Parliamentary Army in England before emigrating to Ireland. This tree is also included in the Quaker JACKSON tree. Update: November 22, 2017. A major error has been corrected. All references to Killynure in Saintfield, Co. Down have been removed. The townland was actually in Queens Co., which makes much more sense. Update July 24, 2018. Stonewall Jackson removed.
1651	Staffordshire	JACKSONs of Santry This tree has subsequently been merged into the JACKSONs of Derbyshire, Berkshire, America & Dublin. Updated 2010
1600	Lincolnshire Oxfordshire Dorset Wiltshire Sligo India London	Gilbert JACKSON of Cuddeson. This JACKSON family - first based in Lincolnshire and then in Cuddeston, Oxfordshire - is connected by marriage to other land-owning families in Co. Sligo. It may be significant that their family crest includes three birds that resemble the ones in the arms of the JACKSONs of Coleraine, Forkhill and Creggan – the latter two families were based in Co. Armagh. Last Updated February 27, 2020. A key source used to compile this tree was from a transcription of a family bible included in: Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica Vol IV 1884. Another useful site was: British 1820 Settlers to South Africa. Also, for the PILFOLD connection, SEE: Burkes General Armory of England Scotland Ireland and Wales. 1884
1571	Lancashire Nantwich Canterbury Youghall Cork	Jacksons of Canterbury & Nantwich England and Co. Cork, Ireland. This Family tree starts in Lancashire with the 1571 birth of Rev. Thomas JACKSON. He became the prebendary of Canterbury Cathedral and was a grandfather of Lodowick JACKSON of Youghall Co. Cork who served as a customs and paymaster in the mid-1600s. In the 1640s, Rev. Thomas experienced financial set-backs and had to retrench. The financial circumstances of his family was like many of their class whose sons lived in Ireland and worked as merchants, military, clerics, or government officials. Posted: January 15, 2020
1688 - 1822	Essex Kent York Wiltshire	WARD-JACKSON family tree. This family, based in Yorkshire, is often referred to as the Jacksons of Normanby Hall. Co. York (near Guisborough). Their family crest included three sheldrakes. It is likely that William JACKSON (1732-1804), Chief Justice of Jamaica was a member of this family, but this needs more work before it can be either verified or disproven.
Jackson Trees that start in Ireland
1634 - 1953	Antrim Meath Armagh	Jacksons of Steeple & Loonburn & Islandmagee - Antrim. It seems likely that the George JACKSON (1773-1797) in the first tree, whose ancestors owned land at Steeple, Parish of Antrim is a good possibility for the George (or Luke) JACKSON (b. abt 1775) in the second tree who owned land at Loonburn. Update: August 15, 2017. JACKSONs of Artnagullian, Parish Connor and later of Parish Islandmagee. The JACKSONs in this tree are also mentioned in leases and other records to the JACKSONs of Steeple and Loonburn. The exact link is yet to be nailed down. In time, more links to other JACKSON trees will be proven to either be valid or invalid, or left in the territory of "dunno": SEE: JACKSONS of Coleraine, Dublin, Tobermore and more
1577 - 1890	Waterford Cork Tipperary Wexford England	JACKSONs of Ahanesk, Co. Cork Photos of ruins at Ahanesk on this page. Starts with John JACKSON (born prob early 1600s) of Ballyduff, Co. Waterford. NOTE: This tree has been superseded by the Jacksons of Waterford & Cork tree. All future updates will be made there. This tree is interesting when looked at in connection with the Jacksons of Glanbeg. In each tree, there is a Mary WALLIS, daughter of Thomas WALLIS who marries a JACKSON. In the Glanbeg tree, it is a Thomas JACKSON and in the Ahanesk tree, it is a George JACKSON. Whether this is a coincidence, or an error in the secondary sources that I used (ie. Burkes), or whether there is a relationship here still to be discovered, I do not as yet know. I have an outline tree here followed by a detailed report. Updated: February 9, 2017
1700s - 2012	Carlow Dublin Antrim (Belfast) Spinians Baltinglass Tyrone	JACKSONs - one line based in Co. Carlow & Co, Wicklow This line of JACKSONs were based in both Co. Wicklow and Baltinglass as well as Brough [aka Bough] in Co. Carlow. Some of my connections in this tree are based on far-fetched hunches - but the level of proof – or lack of it – has all been included, so hopefully any errors do not echo into posterity! I am grateful for the help from Inga JACKSONs posts to the Carlow List Serve as well as emails from other participants on that list. In some older documents, Eagle Hill was described as being located in Co. Wicklow, but it is in Co. Carlow. The tree starts in the early 1700s with an Unnamed JACKSON. The earliest named is a John JACKSON – likely in the late 1700s who married a Sarah JACKSON. Of interest is Peter JACKSON, a draper. It would be worth looking at links to the Co. Antrim and Co. Dublin Peter JACKSONs. Updated August 18, 2021 JACKSONs of Spinians and Baltinglass.This is just a start for this particular tree. I still have a more deeds work to do. I expect that soon, I will be able to attach these JACKSONs to the tree above.
1690 - 1911	Limerick Kildare Cavan Wicklow Laois (Queens)	JACKSONs of Athgarven & Kineagh & Monestrevan Co. Kildare with sources, many thanks to Major John G. JACKSON, and based on a family tree done by James Marcus Neville Jackson, The tree starts with a Thomas JACKSON (?-1690) of Athgarvan & Kineagh, Co. Kildare who built the Stone House of Monistrevan [aka Monastereven] which I would have thought was in Kings Co., and in a parish which was not contiguous with Athgarvan & Kineagh, Co. Kildare. Based on a family crest (3 eagles heads and a horse), they may be related to the Jacksons who lived in Cumberland, Sunderland County Durham, Bedale Yorkshire and Combhay Devonshire. JACKSONs still reside in some of the same townlands. They may all turn out to be related. Other significant townlands include: Fontstown, Narraghmore, Calverstown, and Davidstown. Updated: February 1, 2020 John JACKSON of Cargeen Co. Kildare and Sarah LUCAS of Rathdaniel, Co. Carlow Benthams Abstracts were key to putting these relationships together. In the next couple of months, I have a lot more in other records such as deeds to add. That will have to wait until my return from Ireland – I will get to it then. Posted. April 12, 2018
1600s -1815	Cork Kings Dublin Tipperary	JACKSONs of Co. Cork The JACKSON name was associated with Co. Cork in the early 1600s during the first Plantation settlement. How or even if those very early JACKSONs hook up with this lot, I don't know. This tree begins with a Thomas JACKSON born in late 1600s, and connects to the names of STRETTELL and DEVONSHIRE They are a subset of the JACKSONs of Duddington. Updated: August 23, 2016
1670 - 1867	Carlow Queens Wicklow	JACKSONs - various shrubs (not quite trees) based in Carlow 1. Roger JACKSON of Tullow Co. Carlow. Probably born abt 1670-1680. 2. Rev. Daniel JACKSON of Santry. Updates done after January 2012 are now at Jacksons of Derbyshire, Berkshire, America & Dublin. 3. Thomas JACKSON – origin not noted, born abt 1700. 4. Michael JACKSON b 1740 of Graigue, Queens Co.. (Boundaries have changed, and this is now part of the town of Carlow, Co. Carlow. 5. JACKSONs from Co. Wicklow who ended up at Lanark Co., Ontario, Canada. Starts with a John JACKSON born abt 1760.SEE: 2021 John JACKSON of Carlow & Wicklow –variously sourced. NOTE: The connection of William JACKSON (1819-1880) born at Tullyvallen, Co. Armagh is of special interest to me. He went back and forth between Ontario, Canada; Tullyvallen, Co. Armagh; and even (at one point) Roscomroe, Kings Co. Updated Feb 8, 2021. Includes CODD. 6. Joseph JACKSON, Castle Street Carlow, born abt 1800. NOTE: A William JACKSON held land on Burren Street, Town of Carlow in 1801. SEE: ROD: 537-544-354371. Added: March 3, 2017 7. Edward JACKSON b 1797 and wife Rachel. 8. Alexander JACKSON of Brown’s Hill, prob born abt 1800-1810. 9. Edward JACKSON father of Thomas & Hannah 10. Joseph JACKSON born mid-1700s.. Hacketstown & Wicklow connections. Since the oral history of the JACKSONs of Urker, Parish of Creggan, Co. Armagh is that the family was granted lands in Co. Carlow, I wanted to check out records that might help us to verify or disprove this. Now that DNA is complementing the paper trails that are possible through other means, this work may also be helpful to other lines of JACKSONs. In light of this, if your family ties into any of these lines, then it would be helpful to let me know so I can add to the shared memory bank. NOTE: I suspect that other information relating to Carlow JACKSONs will emerge as I work on the Dublin JACKSON clues. Updated: July 8, 2010 See also: JACKSONs of Nashe's Quarter aka Coolmana Updated March 22, 2017
1726 - 1919	Kildare Offaly (Kings)	Jacksons of Ballygibbon, Co. Kildare NOTE: Ballygibbon is close to the parishes of Ardkill and Tomahoe, where there were JACKSONs in the early 1700s. A link is likely. It is also about 8 miles from Drehid, Co. Kildare where one line of the Quaker JACKSONs lived. Updated: July 29, 2018 Major update.
1800s - 1963	Wicklow Carlow Londonderry	Jacksons of Woodfield and Kiltegan, Co. Wicklow. Much of this tree is based on hunches and scant records.
1760-1880	Wicklow Dublin	Descendants of Thomas JACKSON of City of Dublin & Delgany, Co. Wicklow.Thomas JACKSON was a printer based in Dublin, but through his wife, and possibly through other connections, had ties to Co. Wicklow. Three children were born in his first marriage, but we have no records of them – whether they were sons or daughters, nor how long they lived. I suspect that one of them may have been named Thomas because in his second marriage, none of his sons were given his forename. Given usual naming patterns, this would have been unusual. Baptismal records of Delgany were key in identifying the children of his 2^nd marriage. At present, I do not know his ancestry, although the presence of Zachariah JACKSON in the printing trade in Dublin in the same time (and on some of the same streets) raises the possibility that they were related. So far, I cannot trace the ancestry of Zachariah JACKSON. Several Quaker JACKSONs – including Robert JACKSON (1748-1793) and his sister Rachel Maria JACKSON ( 1755-1836) - played a significant role in printing in Dublin in this era, although this Thomas JACKSON does not appear to be a Quaker, nor does Zachariah JACKSON. Uploaded Febraury 9, 2020
1637 - 1753	Armagh Antrim Dublin	Jacksons of Clounagh, Parish of Drumcree, Co. Armagh and later of Lisburn. This family starts with a couple of Ralph JACKSONs in Co. Armagh, then a Roger JACKSON who seems to have started at Clounagh, but then set up house in grand style in Lisburn, Co. Antrim. It is worth keeping our eyes open to see if the Michael JACKSON, a clothier of Pimlico in Dublin is related to this family.
1681- 1870	Armagh America	JACKSONs of Tartaraghan. This tree focuses on a family that first settled at Coosh in the townland of Ballynarry in the early 1600s. Over the years, several members emigrated to Australia, USA and Canada. My focus has been mainly on the Irish parts of this family. Uploaded June 3, 2022 It is an expanded and more accurate version of the tree that I had initially as: JACKSONs in PRONI T619. T619 was deposited at PRONI in 1933 by Eric JACKSON, and was a Pedigree of the Jackson family of Tartarghan, Co. Armagh, 1681-1933. It was the family tree of Thomas John "Stonewall JACKSON"and was based on Eric JACKSON's document. I did the tree in 2011 and have not updated it nor have I entered sources.At first, I had first thought it the least likely of the trees that I have posted so far that allege a connection to Stonewall, but new research caused me to change my mind.. Uploaded November 22, 2017 Updated: Jan 21, 2022. A Source was added. March 24, 2022 I am in the midst of a total rewrite of this page.
1784 - 1962	Wicklow Dublin Tipperary Down	Peter JACKSON & Joanna aka JACKSONs of Dublin & Wicklow FairyHill Peter JACKSON made his start as a hacklemaker in Dublin, and later was described as a blacksmith (although he seems to have been more of a property developer). I suspect his wife Joanna VINCENT may have had Huguenot roots. The family became successful leasing and developing properties in Dublin starting in the mid 1700s. Their descendants lived at Fairy Hill Bray, Co. Wicklow, but also in Tipperary & Dublin. Updated February 9, 2017 Major Update: June 6, & June 18, & July 11 2024 The footnotes include extensive references to leases whch help to track this family.
1785 - 1792	Kings	JACKSONs of Kings Co. - Seirkeiran. This particular line of JACKSONs is not the only JACKSON family to show up in Kings Co., and they may be related to other such lines. If anyone can help couple some of these together, I would be more than grateful. Updated: February 16, 2021.
1575 – 1795	Westmorland Londonderry Coleraine Dublin Armagh Carlow Leeds Yorkshire	JACKSONs of Coleraine This branch of JACKSONs starts in Kirkby Lonsdale with William JACKSON (?-1626) and connects to significant players during the Siege of Derry amongst other events. It is also the family tree that leads to Richard JACKSON of Forkhill. Updated June 26, 2013
1700-1759	Derry Antrim Tyrone	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 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. Posted September 11, 2016. Updated March 3, 2017 Addition of Adam JACKSON of Drumballyhagen Co. Londonderry b.1725
1577 – 1954	Waterford Roscommon London Cork Somerset Tipperary Surrey Wexford	JACKSONs of Waterford & Cork NOTE: This tree was created by merging two lines of JACKSONs: the JACKSONs of Ahanesk and the JACKSONs of Glanbeg. A detailed report follows beneath. There is much more to learn here. I suspect it can be merged with other lines as I learn more. Updated substantially October 21, 2013
1667 -1775	Kilkenny	JACKSONs of Kilkenny. The land grants to Edmond JACKSON at Corluddy, Portnascully, and Dungooly, all in Co. Kilkenny were key to assembling this Jacksons of Kilkenny family tree. Benthams Abstracts filled in some of the gaps. Was he the Capt. JACKSON who had been dislodged from Co. Antrim? Was he a Royalist, or was he one of those who was caught up in the sweep when the government was transporting all Presbyterians from Antrim & Down in 1653? There is much that I do not know here. Posted: January 12, 2019 Updated August 21, 2019
1605 – 1913	Gloucester Mayo Cavan Sligo	JACKSONs of Enniscoe and Carramore, Co. Mayo originated in Sneyd Park, -probably in Kent, England. The first Irish connection is Oliver JACKSON (1605) whose son Francis JACKSON died in 1678 at Enniscoe, Co. Mayo. I suspect that in time, we will also find that this tree is connected to a Miles JACKSON of Co. Mayo (found there as early as 1655). Updated: August 1, 2010 and significantly in October 26, 2018
1619 – 1775 1791- 1883 1700s – 2016	Lancashire Down Londonderry Antrim Tyrone USA Down Down Belfast Monaghan	JACKSONs of Co. Down who first settled in Dundonald This tree starts with a John JACKSON of Lancashire and his son Robert JACKSON who may have been born 1619-1624 in Ecclestone, Lancashire, England. He was supposedly a brother of two influential Irish Quakers: Richard & Anthony. My interest in the JACKSONs of Co. Down is to determine their connection in the late 1600s and early 1700s to the JACKSON families of Co. Meath, Ballybay, Armagh, and Londonderry. This tree also includes the known ancestry of President Andrew JACKSON. The trade of tanner that some of the early members of this family are engaged in is of interest to me since there are JACKSONs in the same time frame in Drogheda, Athy, Monaghan and Dublin who are also connected to the tanning trades. Updated: July 31, 2021 The JACKSONs of Ballygrainey, Co. Down is a work in progress. I suspect they will click into the JACKSONs of Dundonald, Co. Down when I learn a bit more about them. For now, this is as far as I can get today. Uploaded November 23, 2017. Updated November 25, 2017 JACKSONs of Knockbreda – Co. Down. This tree begins with a James JACKSON born in the late 1700s. The early roots of this line – presuming there are earlier roots to be found in Co. Down – are likely connected to the James JACKSON of Ballymiscaw, Parish of Dundonald in the JACKSONs of Co. Down. That James JACKSON was a son of Gilbert JACKSON, and his likely dates would make him to be in the right time frame to be a grandfather of Robert Jackson (1815-1884) beneath. The names and dates are all based on evidence prepared for Oinri Jackson. Sources are available on request. Updated: December 15, 2015 Some Jacksons of Parishes of Killinchy & Kilmore. The Townlands that these JACKSONs are associated with are in alphabetical order. More townlands and names will be added. So far I have: Ballyagherty Ballyalgan and Barnamaghery, Carsons aka Carsonstown, Creeveybeg Clontaghnaglar, Derryboy, Killinchy in the Woods.

1700 – 1958	Tipperary Kings Kerry Dublin Canada	Minchin Jackson family tree This tree is tantalizingly close to the tree of the Jacksons of Kings Co. I do not yet know whether it will tie in to other trees I have assembled thus far. The senior George JACKSON would have been born in the latter part of the 1600s, although where, I do not know. Keep tuned in. I will update as I learn more. The family crest included three eagles heads. Updated December 31, 2023
1700s	Meath Monaghan Cavan Antrim America Dublin Down Middlesex Tyrone Londonderry Lancashire Devon Louth	JACKSONs of Lisnaboe, Co. Meath The sources for much of the detail included in this outline tree come from http://www.farrell-family.org/ an excellent site with hundreds of primary sources managed by Bill and Mary Farrell. I have recently separated this outline tree from a document that includes all the sources. Together on one page, they had become too large for many people to easily load and view. This tree is especially interesting because of the involvement of so many members of this family in the United Irishmen. They had many marriage, business and political connections with JACKSONs of Armagh & Down. Updated March 18, 2017.
1703 – 1784	Lancashire Kings Kildare	A Second line of Quaker JACKSONs in Kings Co. This tree starts with Nicholas Jackson of Seathwaite, Lancashire. His grandson John JACKSON was born 1703 in Ballinolarbin, King's Co., and a grand-daughter, Mary JACKSON, was born in Timahoe, Barony of Clane, Co. Kildare. They emigrated to America and intermarried with members of the previous Quaker tree from the same region. Updated: July 28, 2018
1700 - 1800	Cork Dublin Tipperary Clare Antrim	Quaker JACKSONs of Cork, Dublin & Tipperary.This is a first stab at a tree for this branch of Quaker JACKSONs who were known as successful farmers and merchants in a number of locations in Ireland. They intermarried with STRETTLEs, DEVONSHIREs, and TUTHILLs.
1721 – 1917	Kings Queens Dublin Limerick Westmeath Tipperary	JACKSONs of Ballyboy, Kings Co. aka Offaly This tree starts with an unnamed JACKSON born in the late 1600s who supposedly came from the North of Ireland. There are likely connections to other JACKSON trees where the DROUGHT family is mentioned, and also JACKSONs from Parsonstown aka Birr. . Many of the Jacksons in this line ended up in Canada. There is more than one line of JACKSONs that starts in the late 1600s in Ballyboy, Kings. Co. This tree incorporates material from some trees that have been shared by other JACKSON family researchers, as well as other material interpolated from deeds research and PRONI, and the National Archives in Dublin. There is much more to learn here. Updated: April 24, 2021
1778 – 1842	Armagh	Jacksons of Tullyvallen, Parish of Newtownhamilton, Co. Armagh These little family trees can more correctly be called shrubs – they have so few twigs so far, and many of them have been grafted on with a bit more tape and glue than what I normally feel comfortable with. Still, I have cobbled them together in the theory that something is better than nothing and they can always be pruned or even turfed if they turn out to be in error. Updated: January 17, 2021.
1700s – 1829	Cork Somerset	JACKSONs of Glanbeg NOTE: This tree has been superseded by the Jacksons of Waterford & Cork tree. All future Updateds will be made there. This tree is interesting when looked at in connection with the Jacksons of Ahanesk. In each tree, there is a Mary WALLIS, daughter of Thomas WALLIS who marries a Jackson. In the Glanbeg tree, it is a Thomas JACKSON and in the Ahanesk tree, it is a George JACKSON. Whether this is a coincidence, or an error in the secondary sources that I used (ie. Burkes), or whether there is a relationship here still to be discovered, I do not as yet know. [NOTE One source says Thomas died unmarried, so I am putting Mary WALLIS with his brother George for now.] I have an outline tree here followed by a detailed report. Updated: July 21, 2011
1711 - 1875	Dublin Kildare Tipperary	Robert JACKSON of Crooked Staff - Descendants. This tree starts with a Robert JACKSON of Crooked Staff, Dublin who died in 1711. The JACKSONs who were tanners in the late 1600s, are likely related to JACKSONs of Athy, Co. Kildare, and are also likely to be Quakers, or at very least, closely aligned with them through either marriages or business enterprises. See Also: Descendants of Nathaniel HONE - Detailed Tree. The HONE family and the JACKSONs of Crooked Staff had a number of business ties, and at least one marriage. SEE (for an earlier version): Robert JACKSON of Crooked Staff - Descendants and an Outline Tree. Update: August 24, 2016. NOTE: This was a major update of the JACKSONs of Crooked Staff - with dozens of deeds as well as a couple of maps to illustrate where they lived and worked.
1650 – `744	Dublin	Michael JACKSON, Clothier of Pimlico. It is important to be wary of some of the links in this tree. They depend on hunches. I began with the parish registers of St. Catherine’s Dublin, and then interpolated information from deeds, and maps to look at other likely relationships. At present, I do not know where these JACKSONs came from, but links in Lisburn and Coleraine are potential places which have me curious. As to where these JACKSONs went, since they do not seem to have stayed in Dublin after a few generations, one likely place would be to look at Michael JACKSON (1740-1803) in Graigue, Queens Co, whose son Adam (1784-1858) and daughter Frances JACKSON (1791-1851) are strong contenders to be descendants. OTHER SURNAMES: McCRACKEN; MATTHEWS. Updated: August 22, 2016.
1722 - 1897	Armagh Monaghan Belfast Australia Hong Kong Canada	JACKSONs of Liscalgat & Urker, Co. Armagh. Five Generations beginning with Schoolmaster George JACKSON. The ancestor of this family in Ireland came from co. York in Cromwell’s Army, and was granted lands in co. Carlow for his services. This estate, called Mount Leinster, was sold in 1745 by his descendant, George Jackson, who settled at Urker, Crossmaglen, co. Armagh. SOURCE: Burke’s Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Peerage Baronetage and Knightage Privy Council & Order of Precedence. 99^th Edition. 1949. London.This Jackson family is associated with the townland of Urker, and with the house Urker Lodge, in the civil parish of Creggan.Urcher is sometimes referred to in earlier records as Urker. Updated: January 30, 2023. A significant update with hundreds of new links and footnotes included - still more to do.
1700 - 1911	Longford Dublin	Descendants of Richard JACKSON of Tinenare - probably a sub-denomination of Culloge, Parish of Mostrim, Barony of Ardagh. SEE ALSO: JACKSONs of Co. Longford Memorials of Deeds as well as a Blog Post.
1663 -1699	Drogheda	JACKSONs of Drogheda - this is just a stub of a tree. See also: Jacksons of Drogheda - Detective work as well as: Council Book of Drogheda - Jackson references and Jacksons of St. Peters Church, Drogheda.
	Sligo	There are several trees of JACKSONs connected to Co. Sligo - more to come: Descendants of William JACKSON of Sligo– A line of Methodist JACKSONs who resided in the Parish of Emlafad, So. Sligo. Several of the more recent descendants emigrated to Canada. Updated October 25, 2023. Footnotes have been added as well as hyperlinks to townlands. Descendants of Thomas JACKSON of Co. Sligo - of Coloony, Lavally, Gortlownan & Teretick etc.. NOTE: Several male forenames show up repeatedly in this tree: Thomas, John, Alexander, George, William. & James. These names also show up repeatedly in the family tree of the Lisnaboe JACKSONs as well as in the JACKSONs of Co. Down who first settled in Dundonald. All the members of these family trees share a similar level of prosperity based at least in part on successful farming. It is also possible that there could be links to Jacksons of Steeple & Loonburn & Islandmagee - Antrim or to the JACKSONs of Kirkby Lonsdale, Westmorland and Coleraine, Londonderry or to the Jacksons of Tobermore.
1832 - 1938	Tipperary Kings Kildare Australia Africa	One line of Jacksons from Tipperary, Kings Co & Co. Kildare. The oral history associated with this tree is that a Capt JACKSON of Ballyboy was granted lands by Cromwell and was granted a dwelling, farm and outhouses situated on the Silver River, nr Frankford (Kilcormac), Co Offaly (aka Kings County). He had served in Cromwell’s army along with a Major Whitford who was granted a mountain (Mountore) in Tipperary. This land is still in the hands of Whitfords. The first known generation of this tree begins with a Grace WHITFORD. She would likely be a descendant of that Major WHITFORD. This also ties into the YATES family. SEE also: Minchin Jackson family tree Updated: December 31, 2023
1700 - 1899	Clare Galway Dublin	JACKSONs of Co. Clare & Galway. The JACKSONs in this tree begin in Kilrush, Co. Clare. They were well connected both in terms of the leases to townlands that they held as well as the importance of the positions that they held in both the military and the police, and later in the medical profession. The first John JACKSON sr. is unlikely to be the first member of the family to reside in Ireland. Future generations settled in Galway, Co. Galway and the City of Dublin. Updated: December 3, 2022
1794 - mid-1900s	Kings Tipperary	JACKSONs of Shinrone, Camblin & RoscreaThese Kings Co. JACKSONs of Camblin (aka Camlin), Roscrea, and of Shinrone are likely to be connected to other JACKSONs who resided in either Kings Co (aka Offaly) or Tipperary. The earliest JACKSON that I have a record for in Kings Co. is a Francis JACKSON who received a Grant recorded in the Down Survey. More work needed.
1728 - 1877	Armagh Dublin Australia America	Robert JACKSON (1728-1821) of City of Armagh and environs. I have yet to learn who his ancestors may have been, but they were likely connected to the merchant class and more specifically to the linen industry. One of my next steps will be to order copies of deeds in order to compare the actual signatures (and if lucky – family seals) in order to determine whether they might be a match with other Robert JACKSONs from the same time frame.
1801-1904	Armagh America	JACKSONs of Richhill, Co. Armagh This family begins in about 1801 with a Joseph JACKSON. The question remains: Where did he come from and when did this family first take root in Richhill? . Since businesses and farms often were passed down from father to son,one possible clue is that he was both a leather merchant and a farmer. It will be worth looking for other JACKSONs in related trades: leather merchants, cordwainers, shoemakers. .Another clue may be in following links to GORDONs, the surname of his wife. Her family may connect to the GORDONs who married into the family of JACKSONs of Lisnaboe, Co. Meath. Also, since families in the strong farmer and merchant class tended to intermarry repeatedly in succeeding generations, the connections to the GIRVINs of Roan and Moneyquin, Co. Armagh are worth keeping an eye on.
1770-1875	Monaghan Antrim Down Tyrone Australia Tasmania	1860 Mary JACKSON of Rockmount, Co. Monaghan Probate . A close read of this will reveals connections between several JACKSONs, who resided in the counties of Antrim, Monaghan & Armagh. Many emigrated to Australia. The testator, Mary JACKSON (?-1860) of Rockmount, was a daughter of a John JACKSON of Banbridge. He in turn was likely connected to and possibly even a son of Rev. Robert JACKSON (b. bef 1750-1788) minister at 1^st Dunmurry Presbyterian Church (Dunmurry, Parish Drumbeg (Antrim portion), in the Barony Belfast Upper who in turn was the son of Rev. Henry JACKSON (b. bef 1717-1795), minister 1st Presbyterian/Arian church, Banbridge. More work is needed. They can be found at: JACKSONs of Co. Down who first settled in Dundonald (a page which needs updating). Sharon Oddie Brown. January 15, 2024 (Note to self - filed on my computer under Webstuff "Family Tree")
