The links beneath connect to information that I have compiled concerning Co. Antrim - mostly focusing on maps, BMIs and census records.

The Probates of JACKSONs in Co. Antrim reveal a
remarkable level of interconnections. Most of the ancestors of these families
are likely to have been in Antrim since the mid-1600s. I have assembled this
using probates available from the indexes at National
Archives - sorted by date and have annotated then with additional
information from Census and other sources. |

Millrow First Presbyterian Church. These records include a number of
JACKSONs from a number of townlands surrounding the town of Antrim. There
were also other JACKSONs in these townlands, and they likely attended the
Church of Ireland. |

The Jacksons of Loonburn, Co. Antrim are connected to the
JACKSONs of Steeple, Co. Antrim. Part of my work this spring will be figuring
out how they connect. NOTE: I have included some Islandmagee JACKSONs because
they are descendants of the Loonburn and likely of the Steeple JACKSONs and hence
will turn out to be pertinent. |

| 1653 Presbyterian removals - Comparing two lists. Declaration by the Commissioners
for the settling and securing the Province of Ulster; dated at Carrickfergus,
the 23rd of May, 1653. NOTE: The 1653 policy, which originated in Dublin – not London, to
transport Scots from Antrim and Down was directed at close to 300 Presbyterians.
Many of them had identified with the Royalists instead of the Cromwellians. This
preceded the policy to transport Catholics to Connaught. There are two versions of this list, so I have compared them to make sure that I do not miss anyone ( I have not seen the original - these are both from secondary sources). |

ROD: Notes relating to Co. Antrim. Because of the size of these files, they have been broken into two pages:
Registry of Deeds Notes from Books 1-499 and
Registry of Deeds and Notes from Books 500-end. Updated December 9, 2023.
These notes focus on several
families of JACKSONs, McCULLAGHs (spelled many ways) and OLIVERs, I have also
noted the holdings of some of their relations, neighbours and business
associates. The result is an idiosyncratic set of notes of many families with
land links to Co. Antrim who were either “strong” framers, successful
entrepreneurs and/or members of the merchant class. By including hyperlinks to
many of the lands mentioned in the Memorials in the Registry of Deeds, my hope
is that it will assist myself and others to better digitally search where these
people either lived and/or leased land. |

| JACKSONs of Artnagullion and later of Islandmagee. The JACKSONs in this tree are also mentioned in leases and other records to the JACKSONs of Steeple and Loonburn. The exact link is yet to be nailed down. In time, more links to other JACKSON trees will be proven to either be valid or invalid, or left in the territory of "dunno": SEE: JACKSONS of JACKSONs of Kirkby Lonsdale, Westmorland and Coleraine, Londonderry, Dublin (several trees), Jacksons of Tobermore and more. |
