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, Both would be useful. 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 you 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.

Carlow BMD trees: POSSIBILITIES for JACKSON Connections

 

ROGER JACKSON:

A Roger Jackson, who had the rank of Ensign, is included in the post-Cromwellian land settlements “In favour of the 1649 Officers”. The county of the land received in the grant is not recorded. SOURCE: The Irish and Anglo-Irish Landed Gentry, When Cromwell came to Ireland. John O’Hart. 2007

 

In the Coleraine JACKSON family tree, there is a Rodger JACKSON who would be in the right generation to be a possible father of the Roger mentioned in the Co. Carlow births. SOURCE: The registers of the parish church of Whittington in the County of Lancaster. Christenings, burials, and weddings, 1538 to 1764. It is unlikely to be this Rodger JACKSON (1645-1682), since it is most likely that this Rodger JACKSON probably died at Tatham, Lancashire before any of these Tullow-born children were born.

 

In the recently posted Carlow BMDs for the COI, a Roger Jackson has four children recorded under Tullow baptisms:

1.     Rachel Jackson b. Mar 25, 1700

2.     John Jackson b. Jan 28, 1701

3.     William Jackson b. Jan 12,1703 [twin]

4.     Crutchly Jackson b. Jan 12,1703[twin]

Also a Roger Jackson has 2 children mentioned under deaths (It is possible that these are siblings of the Roger Jackson who is the father of the 4 children above):

1.     Edward Jackson d. May 5, 1703

2.     Mary Jackson d. Aug 14, 1704

REV DANIEL JACKSON of Santry.

This name has long interested me as a possible connection to our family trees but it has only been recently that I have been able to assemble a tree that has any semblance of accuracy (much more work needed!). I interpolated the Daniel and Mary JACKSON whose names were included in the Baptism records of Aghold, Co. Wicklow – although I have no proof of this. Aghold is just across the border from Co. Carlow and there are numbers of JACKSONs from the early 1700s (and presumably before) who lived in that neck of the woods.

The JACKSONs based on info from Inga JACKSON and others.

This line is connected to Peter Jackson (a draper) and his wife Mary Frances PAINE.

Descendants of Michael Jackson

   It would be fascinating to learn more of the origins of this line.  Michael may have also have had two other sons: William (1783-1846)  and Robert (1740-1803). The family was seemingly based in Graigue which is in Co. Laois (Queens Co.). In current day maps, it seems now to be part of the town of Carlow, Co. Carlow, albeit on the Co. Laois side of the border. SEE: Frances JACKSON Will. Thanks to both Nick Reddan and Mike of Vancouver, we have a detailed description of where Michael JACKSON had land. SEE: DEED: 406 7 265690. Plot of ground called Luke Hutchison’s plott being in Craigue in sd county (not mentioned) bound on east by street & road from Craigue to Slaty (It may be Slaly – but I think the uncrossed ‘l’ is really a ‘t’), on south by lane adjoining holdings of Mich’l Jackson, on west by holdings of Widow Dowling & Rich’d Rouches and on north by holding of Patrick Mahen .       
    1      Michael Jackson    b: 1740   d: 20 Jan 1803 Graigue, Queens Co. Married: Rebecca Unnamed           
........    2      Adam Jackson    b: 1785  d: 20 Sep 1858 in of Graigue, Queens Co., Ireland NOTE: he died a bachelor, and there is another Adam JACKSON who married: Bridget Jackson and had a son, Frederick JACKSON.
 NOTE: There are significant land holdings held and also leased by an Adam JACKSON recorded in Griffiths. There is also a reference to participation as a 2nd Lt in the Cloydagh Infantry.  NEW SOURCE: A Registry of Baptism-.. Marriages, and Burials, By The Revd Edward Bacon: 1784 November JACKSON Adam. S: of Mr Michl. Quartermater of the 2d Horse & Rebecca his Wife, baptised in the Parish of Clonmel. NEW SOURCE: Fictitious Votes (Ireland) Session 31 January-17 July 1837, VOl XI - Part 1; , 96, Adam JACKSON of Graigue; Quinamore, Co. Carlow land granted by William JACKSON April 1836 for 20 pounds.     
........    2      Frances Jackson    b: 1791 d: 17 Jun 1859 in of Graigue, Queens Co., Ireland. NOTE: A transcription of her will curiously describes her as a spinster, but with a daughter Mary. It also mentions her brother Adam as well as properties that he had held on Tullow Street, Carlow. She also mentions properties in Springhill, which is a short distance west of Graigue.
...................    3      Mary Jackson   

Descendants of John Jackson  NOTE: It is possible that John was the son of Lancelot and Abigail JACKSON (d. 1763 June 1).

The Co. Carlow and Wicklow JACKSONs who ended up in Lanark Ontario seem to be a match with the names beneath – although there is some disparity of dates between what I have found and what they have. We may be comparing apples and oranges as I am working from baptismal records whereas they may have actual birth dates. For their version (which includes many more names), SEE: Jacksons in Lanark Ontario at

Descendants of Edward Jackson

NOTE: His occupation was given as "Policeman" in one entry "Farmer" in another. In pencil: "America". His address was Leny Lany or Leney. My guess is that “Leney” is the townland of Leany, Parish of Moyacomb, Barony of St. Mullins Upper. This puts it on the eastern border of Co. Carlow. Perhaps significantly, there is no mention of the name JACKSON in that townland in Griffiths. There was a Benjamin JACKSON (1764-1849) of Leney who may have been related, possibly his father. 

There are others from that townland worth noting:

  • 1801 November John Jackson baptised. Son of Lancelot JACKSON & Mary of Laney.
  • 1821 Apr 22 Elizabeth JACKSON daughter of Hugh JACKSON & Hanna of Leany
  • 1816 Jan 9 John JENKINSON of Coolroe married Anne JACKSON of Lany both of the parish.
