Descendants of Thomas JACKSON of Co. Sligo. 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.

NOTE: I hoping to learn from others with respect to this tree. Much of the work is thanks to the stellar work of Daphne McCann. I have no clue where these JACKSONs came from before they settled on the eastern side of Co. Sligo. Some of the collateral lines and marriages to spouses from Co. Tyrone and Co. Cavan may provide a few tantalizing clues,
NOTE: The links were not working - repaired Oct 11, 2023. Much more material will be added in the next month.

[1] Unnamed JACKSON – it is likely that he was a Thomas JACKSON:

·         PROBATE: Thomas JACKSON late of Gortlowna, Ballintogher Co. Sligo Farmer died 15 Feb 1833 at same place proved in Ballina by Mary JACKSON Widow the sole executrix. Effects: £269.9.11 SEE: Gortlownan, Parish Killerry, Barony Tirerrill.

  • I suspect that he was the Thomas JACKSON (d 1833) who in 1798 was of Gortlownan, Co. Sligo. Deeds related to Thomas JACKSON of Sligo
  • I suspect that he was the Thomas JACKSON who in 1830 was late of Gurtlarnan Co. Leitrim. Deeds related to Thomas JACKSON of Sligo SEE: Gortlownan, Parish Killerry, Barony Tirerrill, Co. Sligo.
  • My guess is that he moved in with his son Thomas JACKSON of Lavally.

[2] John JACKSON

·         ROD: 550-231-364391. 1800 May 17. “Alexander JACKSON eldest son of John JACKSON Gent age 7

[3] Alexander JACKSON b. 1793.- aft 1832

·         ROD: 550-231-364391. 1800 May 17. “Alexander JACKSON eldest son of John JACKSON Gent age 7

·         Deeds related to Thomas JACKSON of Sligo ROD: 860-444-573944 1832 Jan 13. Alexander JACKSON of Willowman Co. Sligo

·         The Tithe Applotments refer to a Alina Jackson Juris Doctor who held lands in 1825 at: Tubbernana aka Toberanania , Killerry , Tirerrill I suspect this is him.

·         There is no birth cert for him, but there is an Alexander JACKSON who died Mar 25, 1875 who was 80 at time of death, hence b. abt 1795. Letters of Administration of the personal estate of Alexander Jackson late of Dernabane County Tyrone Farmer deceased who died 6 June 1874 at same place were granted at Armagh to Sarah Jackson of Dernabane (Aughnacloy) aforesaid the Widow of said deceased. NOTE: There are other family connections to Tyrone.

[4] Rebecca WALKER

·         Marriage cert: FHL Film 101331 gives her age as 18 at time of marriage.

·         Mary JACKSON late of Gortlownan, Co. Sligo widow died 10 Feb 1882 at same place granted to Rebecca WALKER the niece and a Legatee Effects £70. NOTE: This means that Alexander JACKSON was likely a brother-in-law of this Mary JACKSON.

·         Death Cert: Widower. Gastritis 3 days, James JACKSON son present at death Knocknaganny

[7] Catherine KILLORAN wife of Alexander JACKSON

·         NOTE: Given that Catherine & Alexander married in 1850, and that there are two recorded births after public records were kept, I would suspect that there were other intervening children for whom we do not have records born between 1850 and 1864.

·         Her death cert gives her age at death, hence her birth date. Her husband is still alive. Married. Wife of Alexander JACKSON, Gardener. Heart disease. James JACKSON son present at death Knocknaganny

[8] Catherine JACKSON

·         Birth Cert. : FHL Film 101096

[9] William JACKSON

[11] Thomas JACKSON..

·         He may or may not be the same Thomas JACKSON of Cooloney aka  Collooney, Parish Ballysadare, Barony Tirerrill. The Parish of  Ballysadare is very near the Parish of Killerry.
