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. SEE: Image 89 ROD 50-160-32424. Articles of Agreement btw Isaac SHARP Esq. of America and John DUFFIELD of Kinco [Kincora ?] Kings Co. re: lands of Killinure. WITNESS: Thomas JACKSON of Killenure, Queens Co. NOTE: There are two townlands of Killinure in Queens Co.: Killinure in Parish of Lea (southwest of Monesterevin), Barony of Portnahinch & Killinure Parish of Offerlane, Barony of Upperwoods is further southwest of Monesterevin & further southwest of Mountmellick

The Irish Ancestor, Vol IX No. 2 1977 p 60 NOTE: This is the Killinure of Queens Co.
Killinure by Thomas Jackson and his second wife Dorothy: Jackson was a Quaker from Co. Down who had been living at Mountmellick. Jackson children were born at Killinure between 1692 and 1700, and Anthony's will of 1706 mentions Thomas Jackson as the lessee of Killinure. Jackson died there on 15th June 1716 aged 60, as did a son of his in 1717, in which year a daughter of his was married from there. One John Jackson, possibly either a son or brother of Thomas, died at Killinure on 6th August 1715 (will proved at Ossory 1717), and John's widow Joan died there in 1728: three of their daughters were married from there, Catherine in 1722, Abigail in 1726 and Alice in 1732, after which the association of the Jacksons with Killinure appears to have ceased
Local tradition holds that there was an "Elizabethan" house on the site of Roundwood. The 1659 "Census" shows Thomas Paul as titulado of Killinure with 24 English and 4 Irish inhabitants. Certainly there was a "mansion" on the lands when Anthony Sharp acquired them at the end of the 17th century. This must have been the house in which the Jacksons lived but it seems to have fallen into some disrepair between Thomas Jackson's death in 1716 and 1725 when Anthony Sharp's son Isaac let the lands of Killinure to John Duffield. gent, of Kincor, King's County "in the same manner as Patrick Rafter and Garrett Ansloe had enjoyed them" (Reg. of Deeds 50 160 32424). By this deed Isaac Sharp obliged himself and his heirs "to cover the dwelling house of Killenure with slates and to repair the chimney and to glaze the windows and to repair the stable, cowhouse and barn and to put the oat kiln and mills in repair." The present stable building with its steeply pitched roof is in the style favoured early in the 18th century and I believe that it dates from the renovations promised in1725. Traces of the mills have been found on the lands. 1 believe that the old mansion or dwelling house the two-storey building, 47feet long by 17 feet deep with a massive central chimney, standing at the back of the yard behind the present house. Its early brick floor was revealed when the wooden one was lifted in the course of restoration in the 1970s. The building has been mauled, having been used in the 19th century as an agent's dwelling and offices and later as a barn, but essentially it retains the characteristics of the long low settlers' houses of 17th century Ireland. Prior to 1725 it was undoubtedly thatched, as the deed specifies to "cover. . . with slates" rather than to repair the slates. |
JACKSONs of Little Eccleston incl Thomas Jonathon JACKSON aka Stonewall JACKSON
Richard and Anthony Jackson
left England and went to live in Ireland, settling first at Carrickfergus in
Antrim. There Richard met and married Margaret Keete. Anthony also married, but
his wife's name is lost to history. Soon they met a man who helped cause a
great change in their lives. William Edmundson, another Englishman, a recent
convert to Quakerism, came to Ireland to visit his brother. Later he returned
to make his home there. His ardent enthusiasm was contagious. The Jackson
brothers, formerly Anglicans, or Presbyterians as some researchers say, came
under his influence and accepted the simple belief that if people would be
still and wait, it would not be long until god would speak to them directly
instead of through a Priest.
A better opportunity seemed
to beckon the Jacksons to Lurgan, in Armagh, so they moved there to live. By
then several others had converted to Quakerism and meetings were held in
various homes. William Edmundson's account of those days, credits himself,
Richard Jackson and Anthony Jackson, and four others with founding the first
Quaker Meeting in Ireland, dating it from 1654. The following year some of this
first group moved to County Cavan and settled near the line which separated
Ulster from Leinster. There they also started a Meeting. William Edmundson and
Richard Jackson continued to move, zealously starting Quaker meetings where
they went. Anthony Jackson remained in Cavan the rest of his life.
