The Silver Bowl: 1718 Deed

ROD 16 540 12421 December 13, 1718.

NOTE: I had ordered a copy of this memorial in the hopes of seeing the signatures of Thomas JACKSON and hopefully also Richard JACKSON’s signature. I got skunked. Their signatures were not on this Memorial. There is circumstantial evidence that links this property to the holdings of their uncle Samuel JACKSON (1641-1706) In his December 5, 1705 will, he left properties to his nephews William JACKSON – who had died before this deed was registered, and Richard JACKSON.

A memorial of a deed indented bearing date the 13^th day of December 1718 made between Henry Arkwright[1] of the city of Dublin Esquire of the one part, Thomas Jackson[2] of the same Esquire of the second part, and John Reilly[3] of the same gent of the third part, whereby the said Henry Arkwright for the consideration is therein mentioned has granted bargained sold and assigned unto the said John Reilly, all those Messuage or tenement wherein Terence Reilley[4] of the City of Dublin Brewer dwelt situate and being in Proper Lane[5] in Oxmantowne[6] in the suburbs of the said city of Dublin, and all those Malthouses[7] and outhouses whatsoever lying and being in the Backsides of or adjoining to the said Messuage or tenement, and all Houses, Yards Gardens and Backsides Easements Commodities Advantages Hereditaments and Appurtenances whatsoever to the said Messuage appertaining and also all the Estate Right Title Interest Term of Years Property Claim and Amount whatsoever of him the said Henry Arkwright to the premises together with the deed of mortgage therein recited made by the said Terrence Reilly to the said Henry Arkwright, and also one obligation of the penalty of £600 for payment of £300 subject nevertheless to the covenants and conditions in the several recited indenture is mentioned. To hold premises with the Appurtenances unto the said John Reilly and his executors, administrators and assigns for and during all such term and estate, as he the said Henry Arkwright had or are to have therein, which said deed whereof this is a Memorial and is witnessed by Whitfeld Boyne[8] and Richard Jackson[9] of the city of Dublin Esquires and by Michael Doyle[10], clerk to Mr Thomas Cook[11] public notary in the said city.

[1] Henry ARKRIGHT was a Collector of Dublin. In TGF Paterson notes on the will on the will of William JACKSON (1628-1688) father of Rose JACKSON (1668-1738), ARKRIGHT was described as being of Coleraine.

· He was a subscriber to A Treatise of the Laws of Nature. He was also one of the signatories at the commission signed at Derry on July 12, 1689. SEE: Thomas Witherow’s Derry and Enniskillen in the year 1689.

· He was an executor of Samuel JACKSON’s December 5, 1705 will,

· Also, A Henry ARKWRIGHT was a surveyor-general in the Hanoverian period (ie after 1714). Perhaps he was a son of this Henry ARKRIGHT.

Benthams Abstracts: John JACKSON of Ballyaghy Co. Londonderry Gent. To Elizabeth FARQUHAR als JACKSON wife of John FARQUHAR the Relict - Dorothy ARKWRIGHT (wife of Henry ARKWRIGHT), Ann DOWLING [sic - DOWNING] (wife of Adam D), Elizabeth, Margaret, Alice & Martha JACKSON all the children. 6 Feb 1693. NOTE: Dorothy JACKSON, daughter of John JACKSON, was likely the wife of Henry ARKWRIGHT.

[2] Thomas JACKSON. There is more than one Thomas JACKSON who may have been a fit here, but the most likely one is Thomas JACKSON (1680-1751).

· His parents were William JACKSON (1628-1688) and Susan BERESFORD (?-1706).

· He married 1stly Margaret BERESFORD in 1715, and then a Jane (last name unknown). He had 3 children with Margaret and 1 with Jane.

· He was a nephew of the Samuel JACKSON who had been an early investor in lands in Oxmantown, Dublin and nearby. Susan BERESFORD had died on the same day as Samuel JACKSON at Samuel’s house on Mary’s Lane, Dublin. Capt.

· William JACKSON (1668-1712), of Coleraine had received several bequests from his uncle Samuel JACKSON’s December 5, 1705 will, but since he is now deceased, it would not be surprising for the bequest to flow to a younger brother, Thomas.

[4] Terrance REILLY I am also interested in the fact that a Ter. REILLY served as one of the witnesses to the December 5, 1705 will of Samuel JACKSON

[5] Proper Lane in Oxmantown.

Also known as Phrapper or Frapper Lane. Phrapper-la. (King-str. N.) 1577. [Gilb. Cal. Dubl., ii. 548.] Also spelled Frapper-la. Now Beresford-str., qv. SOURCE: Dublin Street Names, Dated and Explained. Rev. C.T. M’Cready (Curate of S. Auden’s and minor Canon of S. Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin) Hodges, Figgis, and Co., Dublin. 1892. p.80.
On contemporary maps, Beresford Street runs north-south, and intersects with Mary Lane, another of the JACKSON holdings, so I suspect it is in this ballpark.

NOTE: Lieut. Thomas Ball, of Fleetwood's Regt., , the father of John BALL, received grants of land in several counties of Ireland, which were confirmed under the Act of Settlement. In Crickstown, barony of Ratoath, he received "a mansion house, orchard, garden, and groves,''. They were same BALL family with leases at Urker and elsewhere in Creggan Parish.

[6] Oxmantowne. The area experienced a building boom that Samuel JACKSON (1641-1706) profited from. I do not yet know whether he participated in the initial auction, but he did buy properties in Oxmantown sometime afterwards:

· The latter part of the seventeenth and early eighteenth century was a period of considerable growth for the area. By 1660 Oxmantown became residential with wealthy people living around the Green. In 1664 a highway, Queen Street, and a major cattle market at Smithfield were established. These, coupled with the opening of the Royal Barracks (now Collins Barracks) to the west in 1704 ensured that area was a bustling district throughout the eighteenth century, filled with shops, markets, hotels and traders. SOURCE: The Reconstruction of Dublin.

· In 1665, the Corporation of Dublin annexed part of the old Oxmantowne Green, divided the annexed land into lots, and auctioned them off to builders and such. In 1697. St. Paul’s Church was built on King Street.

[7] NOTE: In the mid-1800s, there was a brewery shown on maps on Beresford St. (aka Proper Lane) on the east side in the middle of the block just north of Mary’s Lane. There was also a brewery noted on Proper Lane in 1729. SOURCE: Dublin 1610-1756. Irish Historic Towns Atlas. No. 19..

[8] Whitfeld BOYNE.

[9] Richard JACKSON. There are a few Richard JACKSONs in this time, place and class, but I suspect he was Richard JACKSON (1673-1730), brother of Thomas JACKSON above.

He was the nephew who was living with his Uncle Samuel JACKSON in 1705 in Dublin.
According to TGF Paterson, he inherited the Kirkby Lonsdale Estate, as well as properties in Dublin that had been owned by his uncle Samuel
He married 2ndly Elizabeth BOYD, and their son, another Richard JACKSON (1722-1787) founded the Forkhill Trust.
