The Silver Bowl: Dickie family photos

THE DICKIE FAMILY PHOTOS

The following photos (they start halfway down this page) are either in my own collection (thanks to a generous gift from Gika JACKSON ) or in the collection that was originally that of Mary WRIGHT of Gilford Castle. Thanks to those who have contributed.

Updated January 12, 2009 - substantial new information on the puzzle Charles JACKSON (See NOTE in the descriptions beneath the photos).
Updated July 10, 2018.

The connection of the DICKIE family to the JACKSON family is still a little opaque to me, but the fact of so many references to them and the frequency of their photos in various family albums tells me that more looking could be rewarding. How does the COULTER family and the PATTERSON family and the DICKIE family fit together as well as the JACKSON family for that matter. Who, for instance is "Charles JACKSON". In order to attempt to make more sense of it all, I have collated the various mentions of the DICKIE name in legal documents and letters that I have to date and they are noted at the bottom of the page (beneath the photos).

NEWS! Thanks to the generosity of Peter McWilliam, I am now able to shed a great deal more light on the connections. See: Dickie Family Tree September 27, 2004

· In 1799, a Robert DICKIE was a witness to an agreement Eliza BRADFORD and Sam BRADFORD concerning division of property likely occasioned by the death of Thomas BRADFORD, husband of Elizabeth (née BREAKEY).
· In 1822, Mr. Robert DICKIE and Mr. Alexander DONALDSON were the arbitrators in the division of land at Annaghavackey between Andrew and Thomas BRADFORD (which seemingly had consequences for the 1898 will of Samuel BRADFORD)
· In 1875, Joseph DICKIE, a solicitor at 31 Frederick Street, Dublin acted in the case concerning the infant child of William MENARY and Mary JACKSON.
· In 1877, James McCullagh wrote to Sally Whiteside advising that he had written to “Mr. Dickie” about the money for her.
· In 1891, in a letter concerned with Cavananore and Sam Bradford’s loss of the lease, it is mentioned “So you see that other people beside Alexander DICKIE can play at penny a week.”
· In 1895 , a letter from Drummuck to Sally WHITESIDE mentioned that Maggie DICKIE came to help Will “to move mother”
· Jeanne Moorhead’s Birthday Book mentions Mary DICKIE, Lizzie DICKIE and Meta DICKIE
· In 1897, it is mentioned that Maggie DICKIE is on a visit to Drummuck.

And then there is the death notice in the clippings found at Gilford Castle: DICKIE June 1, 1933, suddenly of heart failure, Alexander Alfred Dickie, Roachdale, Dundalk. Funeral (strictly private) to Kane this day (Monday). Belfast papers please copy. See gravestone inscription beneath.

Then there are the various burial mentions of the DICKIE family at Kane Cemetery, near Dundalk. They come from various lists posted on the web and I have tried to meld them with an eye to most likely accuracy. I am grouping the graves by location of their supposed domiciles of the deceased:

Roachdale:

DICKIE Erected by John J. Dickie of Clanaleenan . . . Charles . . . so. of Lisnaboe, County of Meath . . . the 18th day of Oct 1815 aged . . . years. And is here interred at his own request
Also of interest: “Erected by John DICKIE of Crunleenan in memory of Lieutenant Charles JACKSON of Lisnaboe, County Meath late HM 3rd Regiment of Buffs who died at Woodbine Cottage 18 October 1813 aged 75 years and here interred at his own request.” NOTE: This is of special interest for a number of reasons as I try to unpuzzle family connections:

Woodbine Cottage was just across the road from Derryfalone House (home of John Thomas DICKIE at the time of Griffiths Valuation) at Hackballs Cross close to Clonaleenaghan. All were in the Parish of Barronstown.
HM 3rd Regiment of Buffs was also active in the 1812 War in North America. There may be no connection, but a Boatswain Charles JACKSON is buried in a cluster of British officers graves. I wonder if he might have been a son of the Charles JACKSON (1738-1813) - who would have been too old to be in that campaign himself, but military careers do tend to run in a family. SOURCE: Lossings Field Pictorial Field-Book Of The War Of 1812. Benson J. Lossing 1869. Chapter Xxxvii. Events On Lake Champlain In 1814.
The famous (or infamous - depending on ones perspective) JACKSONs of Ballybay, Co. Monaghan originally came from Lisnabo(e), a townland which is a little less than 2 miles south of Kingscourt, Co. Cavan in the Parish of Enniskeen, Co. Meath (in fact, in an earlier ordering of county borders, it was considered to be in Co. Cavan). There are many attempts to define an accurate family tree for this line, but the most accurate work comes from Bill Farrell. Thomas JACKSON descendant of John JACKSON (see CRIEVE) and grandfather of the Hugh JACKSON was born in Lisnabo 1709 (thence to BALLYBAY in 1740s).
Also, several of the LDS BMD pages showed our JACKSONs as "relative of Charles JACKSON". SEE: Family tree of Jacksons of Lisnaboe Co. Cavan and Ballybay Co. Mongahan Ballybay Jackson Tree.
The John DICKIE referred to of Crunleenan is most likely John Thomas DICKIE (1787-1876) who was the husband of Elizabeth McCULLAGH. (1794-1819). She died shortly after marriage (without issue) and was a daughter of Thomas McCULLAGH (1734-1818) of Derryvalley and Jane REED (1735-1806) of Slieveroe. Thomas McCULLAGH's brother was James McCULLAGH of Derryvalley and later of Shantonagh. He had three children, one of whom was the daughter Elizabeth McCULLAGH (1788-1880) who married John JACKSON (1780-1817) of Urker, near Crossmaglen, Co. Armagh. Now, we can't quite close the gap here - but the convergence of name is interesting.
James JACKSON (1743-1822) of Ballybay had a daughter Elizabeth, presumably with his common law wife (although that designation wasn't used then) Sarah BLACK. She would have presumably been born after the death of his wife in 1784. His will states "I leave and bequeath to my natural daughter Elizabeth McCULLAGH alias JACKSON and her issue a share of the tenement she now lives in subject to the chief rent". Presumably, she married a McCULLAGH.
