[1] George JACKSON

· This is a guess, based on the fact that a George JACKSON of Antrim was a father of a James, and the dates are a fit. It wasn't a time when there were a lot of people living in Antrim. He would have been in Antrim by 1635: NOTE: The Dunlops originally came from the Scottish island of Arran and settled on the Antrim coast early in the 17th century. They received a grant of land from Sir Randall MacDonnell situated between Ballycastle and Ballintoy. To settle rights to this land in 1635 a jury was called with members being among others; Alexander Houston of Denniscan, gent., George Jackson of Antrim gent., Robert Young of Cloughmills, gent., David Moore of Ballyhome, gent., Burial place of the Dunlops was at Ramoan. SOURCE: Ulster Journal of Archaelogy. Volume 8, 1860: p 200

[2] George JACKSON (1634-aft 1684)

· Hunch: His father was on a jury in 1635 in Antrim, hence the guess on birthplace.

· Hunch: He would be the right age for a son, James born about 1684.

[3] James JACKSON (1684-?)

· His birth is imputed from the date of a lease: 1698. Lord Masserene and Samuel Shannon of town of Antrim. Copy of Lease. Thomas Shaw about 16 years old son of Wm. Shaw of Bush. William Hartson about 6 years old son of James Hartson of Antrim. James Jackson about 14 years old son of George Jackson of Holywell. Yearly Rent of £5. Dwelling House, etc. - north side of Street, town of Antrim. Farm - 12a. 1r. 16p. north of the High Way leading from Antrim.

[4] James JACKSON (1635-?)

· Hunch: The record of a baptism for James JACKSON was at First Millrow, Antrim - but may have been the Antrim Church of Ireland (notes are fuzzy). SOURCE: First Millrow First Presbyterian Church, Antrim, Co. Antrim. Extracts on The Silver Bowl.

[5] Peter JACKSON (abt 1640-1703)

· Hunch. The will was listed in the Connor Diocesan Wills for a Peter JACKSON of Steeple. The PRONI index says that it can be found at D/2489, but I could not see it there.

· Note: It is also possible that he was a George Jackson of Steeple whose will was in 1710. Again no known record of that will either.

· Hunch: I am including him here as a brother of George JACKSON (1634-aft 1684). In1693, he was a Cordwainer, and a Freeman of Carrickfergus. I am basing the possible connection on coincidences of both class and geographic proximity, as well as the fact that the names George and Peter are used repeatedly in this line and not in other lines of JACKSONs who are known to live in the region in the late 1600s.

· Burial: PRONI MIC583/11-12

[14] George JACKSON (abt 1773-1797)

· NOTE: I merged This George with a person who I had as either George or Luke, and born abt 1775. The land holdings are such that I feel reasonably confident that they are the same individuals.

· Belfast Newsletter: 6 - 10 Mar. 1797 _At Steeple on the 4^th inst in his 24^th year, George Jackson Esq., a young man fiercely lamented by all who knew him_.

· Hunch: PRONI D509/1558 Based on land records, it is most likely this George. Lease of 167 acres 3r. 39 per. I.P.M. for 61 years from 1 November 1804 - Rent: £28 p.a. plus fees of Most Hon. George Augustus Marquess of Donegall to George Jackson, Loonburn, Co. Antrim relating to Loonburn (Lisnalisk), Co. Antrim.

· PRONI D2489/9 Probate of Mr. George JACKSON Will 14 February 1798. Mr. Jackson died 4^th or 5^th March 1797. In the name of God, Amen, I George Jackson of Steeple in the parish and county of Antrim…First I confirm to my dear mother Anne Jackson the provision made for her by the will of my father Peter Jackson, deceased… I bequeath to my said Mother in addition [?] the sum of forty pounds sterling paid to her yearly and every year out of the Lands of Steeple and King's [?] in the town of Antrim… I give and bequeath to Mrs. Elinor Blair the house wherin she now resides and the sum of thirty pounds sterling payable to her yearly and every year on of the Lands of Steeple and King's tenement… I order and direct & my Will is that her daughters Armanilla and Catherine Blair shall have and receive the annuity of thirty pounds… I give and bequeath to my good friend Jackson Clark of Massareen and his heirs forever my Estate Right and Title and Interest in and to the tenement called Lindsay's… other bequests… friend William Clark brother of Jackson Clark… rents… after his death first son of William Clark… William Clark sole executor. 14 January 1797. NOTE: The date of 14 February 1798 written on the document likely represents the date of probate. He is leaving the annuity to his cousins, daughters of his aunt Elinor JACKSON. I suspect he never married.

SEE: 403-140-265751 I suspect that this William JACKSON was a surgeon in the British Navy who married Mary Helen BLAIR (?-1811), daughter of James BLAIR. Her death date is a hunch based on an entry in Connor Diocesan Wills for a Mary Elin JACKSON als BLAIR in the parish of Carncastle, in 1811. It is possible that her mother was Elinor JACKSON (aft 1735). SEE: Jacksons of Steeple & Loonburn & Islandmagee - Antrim.-
