1784 Nov 26 Will of Miles North SOURCE: The Northern Genealogist 1896 ed. A. Gibbons, F.S.A. page 36 NOTE: I do not know who all these people are, but as I find out, I will add their information into my footnotes. Miles NORTH is of particular interest because his great grandmother was Jennet JACKSON, and his son Richard Toumlin NORTH inherited the lands that JACKSONs had held in Kirkby Lonsdale and Whittington (and possibly Castleton).
Miles North[1], of Kirkby Lonsdale, co. Westmoreland, esq., 26 November, 1784. Copyholds in Kirkby Lonsdale called Jackson Hall, to my eldest son Edward Jackson North[2] ; also the Manor of Whittington[3], co. Lane, and lands there, which were the estates of my uncle Wm.

[1] Miles NORTH (1738-1795) husband of Susan TOULMIN and father of four known children. He was heir at law of the estates of Lady Crofton, widow of Sir Oliver Crofton aka Abigail JACKSON, his cousin. His Irish deeds are revealing.
[2] Edward Jackson NORTH (1779-1789). NOTE; He died before his father did, at the age of nine. [3] Manor of Whittington. · In 1715, the Jacobite forces marched through Whittington. They made an enclosure for their horses on the high ground on Col. [Bordrigge North] North's estate, which can still be seen. SOURCE: British History on Line. · BACKGROUND: ¶The Carus family had been much reduced in fortune, partly, no doubt, owing to their adherence to the Roman Catholic religion, and after the Revolution to the Stuart cause; and after the death of Thomas Carus in 1716 the estates in part had to be sold by order of the Court of Chancery. Thus in 1732 the manor of Whittington was acquired by James Bordrigge, of a family long settled in the neighbourhood, (fn. 64) and by the marriage of his daughter and heir Alice to Oliver North of Newton, representative of a younger branch of the Norths of Docker, it came to the ancestors of the present holder. Their son Miles inherited the Thurland lordship; his son Richard Toulmin North dying unmarried in 1865 was succeeded by his grand-nephew Mr. North Burton, who then assumed the surname of North. He died 11 April 1910, and was succeeded by his son Colonel Bordrigge North North, C.B., M.V.O., the present lord of the manor. SOURCE: British History on Line.
[4] William BORDRIGGE (?- bef 1784) son of James BORDRIGGE and brother of Alice BORDRIGGE [5] Oliver NORTH (1712-1786) husband of Alice BORDRIGGE. [6] Anthony ATKINSON [7] Casterton is a townland where there was a significant JACKSON presence in the mid1500s until the 1700s. There may be a connection. [8] Richard Tomlin NORTH (1782-1865) He died unmarried & Thurland Castle went to his grqnd-nephew North North aka North Burton of Thurland Castle. So did a lot of property in Ireland and Kirkby Lonsdale. [9] Miles NORTH (1784-1809). He died at sea returning from India. He was a Lieut. serving with the 67th Foot. [10] Mary Anne NORTH (bef 1784-1841). She married David Morgan Esq., and they had a child Mary Anna MORGAN who married John Standfast BURTON whose son North BURTON changed his name to North NORTH and inherited the NORTH family estates. [11] James COCK [12] Mrs. HALL aka REMINGTON [13] Reginald REMINGTON (?-be 1784) [14] Elizabeth NEEDHAM of Dublin. It could be key to run down this connection. · In the 1720s, a Rev Valentine NEEDHAM was rector at St. Michans. There may be a connection. Although aspiring to gentility, a Dublin curate, Valentine Needham, "lolled at his reading desk, fiddled with his wig, pared his nails, and stretched out his hands to display a ring".
