[4] Dorothy OTWAY (1605 bet 1632-1641) NOTE: She was actually a half-sister of Sir. John OTWAY. Parents: Roger OTWAY and Anne HEBBLETHWAITE. [5] Sir John OTWAY (1620-1693) Parents Roger OTWAY and Anne MAYER (the 2nd wife) [6] John JACKSON (1630-?) On a site by John Cameron Ward, 8 children were ascribed to him. Since he would have been 8 years old at the time of the first child, I have discounted most of these. The last one is a possibility: John JACKSON Christening: 8 JUL 1654, Kirby Lonsdale,Westmorland, England. Anne JACKSON, wife of Adam DOWNING (1666-1719) is also said to be a child of his. DOWING family research has compelling evidence that the wife of Adam DOWNING was Ann JACKSON, daughter of John JACKSON -not Margaret, daughter of Thomas as is alleged in some of the genealogies such as Burkes. This information is on the Downing family vault at St Tida’s Church, Bellaghy Co. Londonderry. In his will, Adam Downing referred to his wife as Ann. NOTE: The John JACKSON (1666-?) – if he is a son of the John JACKSON (1630) is a possible father for the Daniel and Sarah JACKSON who were minors at the time of their father’s death, when their estate in the Parish of Creggan Armagh was held in trust by John BALL. [7] Nathaniel JACKSON. Now included in The Silver Bowl Rootsweb Tree.. He died before the 1705 will of his brother Samuel JACKSON. .. son of my dead brother Nathanial of Leeds in Yorkshire I have not tracked him down, but of considerable interest is: Estate of Jackson family of Burley, Leeds: 1/4 messuage in Birkby; house, garden, orchard and 12 closes (59a.), Keddingley (Nathaniel Jackson; Eliz. Jackson; Benj. Wade). National Archives, UK. D4762/4 1690-c1730. They are held at the Gloucestershire Archives: archives@gloucestershire.gov.uk and I have contacted them to order the document. [8] Samuel JACKSON (-1705). Most of what I know about his was gleaned from notes done by Tenison Arthur Groves of the 1705 will of Samuel JACKSON. He served as a Member of Irish Parliament representing Coleraine. [9] Hannah JACKSON. Now included in The Silver Bowl Rootsweb Tree.. [10] Major BOND. At present I know nothing of him. [11] Dorothy JACKSON Not previously included in The Silver Bowl Rootsweb Tree.. [12] Thomas WALKER. Is it possible that he was a brother of the George WALKER of Siege of Derry fame? [13] Leeds is in West Yorkshire. I would suspect that learning more about Nathaniel JACKSON will lead to learning more about Thomas WALKER. [14] Elizabeth STAPLES (NOTE: I believe that Elizabeth STAPLES was a daughter of Alexander STAPLES, who in turn was a son of Sir Thomas STAPLES. Elizabeth's marriage to William Jackson took place on 26 Nov 1657 in St Columb's Church, I would assume that she had the children in quick succession, since William’s 2nd marriage would have been abt 1665: PRONI D668/2 Conveyance in trust of Rent between Wm Jackson, Killowen and SirTristram Beresford, Coleraine. Charge of £200 p.a. following a marriage settlement with Susana Beresford of part of Clothworkers Manor, Barony of Coleraine. 4 January 1665 [15] Sir Thomas STAPLES (-1653) Thomas STAPLES had originally come from Yate Court, near Bristol in Southwestern England, in about 1610 as part of the plantation of Ulster. He settled in the town of Moneymore (then being constructed as part of the terms of the Plantation Grant to the Worshipful Company of Drapers [NOTE: Same as the JACKSONs] who had been granted large swathes of the new County in 1611) in County Londonderry and his stone house is marked in a map of 1635as in the centre of the town beside the Market Cross. [16] Sir Tristram BERESFORD (-1673) for more detail see: Wikipedia as well as The Silver Bowl Rootsweb Tree.. [17] William JACKSON(abt 1665-1712) Captain in Army. Will proved 1712. m. Elizabeth GORGES 1690 (or 1695, depending on which source one credits – both are secondary sources) MP of Londonderry. He seems to be a minor in his father's will.

[18] Richard JACKSON (Aft 1658-1730) married Elizabeth BOYD. It is likely that he was the Ensign Richard JACKSON who was under the command of Col. MICHELBURN at the siege of Derry. SEE: Defenders of Derry. Anne BATE was his first wife: ASHBY-DE-LA-ZOUCH CHURCH, CO. LEICESTER ?Mural monument?: Near this place lieth the body of Ann Wife of Richard Jackson, second Son of William of Coleraine In ye County of Derry, in ye Kingdom Of Ireland Esq.

Above are painted arms (gules, a fesse between three shovellers [19] Beresford JACKSON (aft 1688-1730) His death date is based on his will probate date. It could be earlier. [20] John JACKSON (aft 1688-) According to Coleraine in Bygone Centuries he died young. This is possible. It is also possible that he was the John JACKSON who was the deceased father of minors Daniel and Sarah who were left lands in Creggan Parish in trust with John BALL. [21] Thomas JACKSON (1680-1750). In 1727, he served as a Member of Irish Parliament representing Coleraine. It is possible that he had a 2nd wife named Anne. [22] Samuel JACKSON (bef 1668-?) [23] Otway JACKSON (aft 1668-?) [24] Rose JACKSON (aft 1668-Feb 1738) she married Thomas BUNBURY (1673-1743). They had two sons. [25] Jane JACKSON (aft 1668-1744) She married Henry WRAY (-1737) of Castlewray, Co. Donegal.
