My primary goal here was to note JACKSONs, but
I also picked up a few other stray bits that interested me for one reason or another. In articles that have long lists of names, I
have sorted them alphabetically – which is not how they were printed in the
paper, but it makes it easier to avoid eyeball burn out.

Mrs. JACKSON at Drogheda, widow of counsellor JACKSON late
of Creekstown in the County of Meath. |
NOTE: Since the Urker JACKSONs had enough of a link
to Drogheda that one of them would pay to have the family crest erected on City
Hall, this one is worth pursuing. A will for a Thomas JACKSON of Creekstown was probated 3 December 1750. SOURCE: Betham Prerogative Will Extracts to 1800. Ref. T/559/24 Page 173 of Volume 24

Wednesday night a terrible robbery was perpetrated at
Rockvale near Mallow, the seat of the Rev.
Mr. John Oliver, by a number of the Levellers in their white uniforms;
people who ascribe to themselves the office of relieving the poor from
oppressions, and or redressing public grievances. Six of the villains
entered the house, and confined all the servants in a room (from one of which
they took six guineas and some change) while they plundered the house. Mr. Oliver who had been from home on a visit
has offered a reward for apprehending the parties concerned. ...
They [the prisoners} were brought on board the revenue
barge from Youghal, by Mr. William Jackson,
surveyor.... |
This would have the Ven.
John Oliver, Archdeacon of Ardagh and was an attack by the Whiteboys.

Henry JACKSON Iron
Monger (who served his apprenticeship to Mr. Richard Bolton, &c.) Hath
opened shop in Pill Lane, opposite Bull Lane, Dublin, where he has laid in a
large assortment of Iron Monger’s Ware, for ready Money, which enables him to
sell on such terms as must be pleasing to the Buyer. Said Jackson has engaged the only Man now in
Dublin capable of smithing large Beams, and has now ready for sale, a good
assortment of each Kind, viz, Dutch, English, and Wheel Form; with all sorts
of Grocers, Silk and Money Scales, with weights suitable for each, of Iron,
Brass & etc. Which |
This is the Henry JACKSON (1750-1817) who was charged with
treason because of his United Irishmen involvement. I find it intriguing that
he is only aged 17 when he opens this shop. This foundry was probably one of
the places where his supporters fabricated pike pole heads in the late 1700s
to use against government troops. |

This is a puzzling note of a letter from Thomas Jackson expressing “the gratitude
and thanks of the Island of Barbados” also “Lord Mayors and Mr.
Latouche’s health” |
|
14 - 17 Aug. 1781 |
Early on Monday morning, the 6th inst, died, at
Coleraine, Mrs. Ann Jackson, lady to
the Right Hon. Richard Jackson; and
most deservedly and deeply lamented by rich and poor; but chiefly by a fond
and affectionate husband, whose grief and affliction is beyond description,
forther than by saying that it is in a measure proportioned to his loss,
which is immense and irreparable. |
I believe this is Anne JACKSON née O’NEILL |
2 - 6 Sept. 1791 |
Whereas on Friday the 26th instant between the hours of 10
and 11 o'clock at night, the house of Martha Coulter of Cavanamore, in the

articles of plate, viz. 6 tablespoons, 5 teaspoons, a tray, a pair of salts,
parish of sugar tongs, a punch ladle, and a pair of shoe buckles, most of
them marked J. M. B.
Now we whose names are here unto subscribed to promise to
pay the several sums to our names annexed to any person or persons who shall
in the space of six months from the date hereof, discover on and prosecute to
conviction, the person or persons concerned in said robbery; and if any of
the persons concerned shall make a discovery so that his or their accomplices
may be prosecuted to conviction, they will not only be entitled to the
reward, but application shall be made for his Majesty's most gracious pardon.
– 20th August, 1791. |

Documents link, and then by date under Newsclippings. |
22 - 25 Apr. 1794 |
CAVAN Assizes
DYAS vs JACKSON
Monday the 7th inst was tried at Cavan Assizes,
before the Hon. Justices Cruickshank, an action bought by Mr. James Dyas, of
Kings Court , against Gordon Jackson,
Esq. A very active Magistrate of the county Cavan, to recover damages for
breaking the plaintiff’s windows on account of his not illuminating them on
the 9th of August last, when intelligence was received of the
surrender of Valenciennes..... verdict for the plaintiff. |
NOTE: I wonder if this was
the Gordon JACKSON in the Lisnaboe Tree, who was a son of Thomas JACKSON
& Ann GORDON.
The DYAS and JACKSON families intermarried in America. See: Bill Farrell files. Mary Jackson b: 25 Jun 1788 d: 1849 +John Dyas b: 28 Dec 1782 d: 14 Aug 1862 in of New Orleans and Nashville. Mary JACKSON was a daughter of Alexander JACKSON and Mary HENRY of Cremorne, Monaghan.
See Siege of Valenciennes – it was part of the French Revolutionary Wars. Anglo-Austrian forces took the town in July 1793 - the year that is referred to by the 9th of August last. The politics behind this action would indicate that Gordon JACKSON was opposed to the French Revolution, while DYAS was likely in favour (hence the emigration of DYAS family members to America, as well as a number of JACKSONs - but not Gordon JACKSON. Incidentally, Valenciennes was retaken by the French Revolutionary armies in August 1794. |
27 - 30 June 1794 |
TO BE SET
A House in Castle Street, Lisburn, lately in the
possession of the Rev. Hamilton Trail, deceased. Application to be made to Francis Jackson, Esq., Sligo, or William

the Francis JACKSON (1769-1834), son of George JACKSON & Jane Cuff of Co.
Mayo. |

acquitted of the murder of John McCaffrey at Drumnakelly, on the 24th May last, by wounding him with a bayonet in the breast. |
|
29 Dec. 1794 - 2 Jan. 1795 |
On Friday last at the seat of Mrs. Jackson near Dundalk, was married by special licence the
Right Hon. Lord Gormanstown, to the Hon Miss Southwell, with a fortune of
20,000l. It may not be unworthy of remark, that the ages of this truly
amiable couple do not exceed thirty-five years. |
NOTE: This marriage was only at the seat of Mrs.
JACKSON. I suspect she was the widow Nichola Ann Cecil JACKSON née HAMILTON
(d. abt 1804). The Right Hon. Lord Gormanstown,, who was Jenico PRESTON, 12th Viscount Gormanstown (1775-1860) married the Hon Margaret SOUTHWELL in 1794. |
16 - 20 Mar. 1795 |
Tuesday 10th, Mrs. Elizabeth Brown of Tandragee died.
To all Whom it May Concern
Whereas I, Thomas Jackson of Drumnakelly, in the County of Armagh, do stand charged with being concerned
with the alleged murder of John McCaffrey of Balliworken in said county, on
the 14th day of May last – I do hereby give notice, that I have
surrendered myself up into the custody of the Sherriff of said County, and
that I am now in the Gaol of Armagh, and do intend taking my trial for the
said alleged murder at the next Assizes to be held in and for said county, of
which all persons concerned are desired to take notice. Dated 19th March, 1795. THOMAS JACKSON. |

Yesterday the remains of the Reverend but unfortunate Mr. Jackson were carried in the forenoon
from the undertakers in May-lane, in a hearse, accompanied by twelve coaches,
to the cemetery of St. Michans and there decently interred. |
This is the Rev. William JACKSON who took poison and died
in the court rather than receive the anticipated death sentence for treason
resulting from his United Irishmen involvements. By doing this, he protected
his wife’s inheritance. |
11 - 15 May 1795 |
Dublin May 11
By the death of Mr.
Jackson, before sentence was pronounced, his property, which it was
said amounted to about 200l, a year, will be preferred to his family, and not
escheat to the Crown, as it would otherwise have done.
A fulsome praise from the inhabitants of Forhill to which Mrs. Jackson replied: ... I am greatly
gratified by the opportunity I have had of serving them. Forkhill Lodge. |
The first article concerns the Rev William JACKSON who
took poison and died in the court rather than receive the anticipated death
sentence for treason resulting from his United Irishmen involvements. By
doing this, he protected his wife’s inheritance.
The second article refers to the widow of Richard JACKSON
of Forkhill, Nichola Anne Cecil JACKSON née HAMILTON |
6 - 10 July 1795 |
On Thursday, the 11th ult. The Revd Joseph Jackson was ordained
minister of the Protestant Dissenting Congregation of Creggan and Newtownhamilton,

Samuel MONTGOMERY, Dr. Inoculated 800-900 children without
having one death.
In our paper of Friday last we copied from a British
Newspaper the death of Captain William O’Neil,
said to be a nephew of the late Lord O’Neil – we are assured the late Lord
O’Neil had but one nephew, for instance, the present Major Jackson, one of the members for the borough of
Randalstown – consequently the said publication is founded in error, so far
as it relates to the late Lord O’Neil. |
This may be Robert JACKSON, although he was a Lieut-Col
who died after 1798. He was the son of Richard JACKSON & Anne O’NEILL.
She was the daughter of Charles O’NEILL of Shanes Castle. |
