as many of the memorials of deeds that I can find notes on [based on my 2016
update – more to come].

Townlands connected to JACKSONs of Co Down
Descendants of John JACKSON of Little Eccleston, Lancashire is at the start of my JACKSONs of Co. Down Tree. NOTE: The first record of the JACKSONs in the townlands mentioned beneath begin to show up in the available records some time after the Cromwellian land grants, but before
the King James or King William land transfers. James ROSSE was the inital
landlord. The early leases, in one case, total at least 885 acres. This level
of wealth made these JACKSONs the financial peers of the neighbouring BLACKWOOD family.
OTHER SOURCES:
A memorandum preserved by
Jackson amongst his papers, and without evidence of its reliability, asserts
there were four brothers in Ireland by the name of Jackson, each of whom
occupied as freeholder a large farm. Andrew, the youngest, lived near Castlereagh
and sold his property in 1765, and went to America where he landed at
Charleston, S.C., and removed to the backcountry. All these Jacksons, it
declared, were devoted to the established Kirk of Scotland and were noted for
their hospitality.
Castlereagh is about 125 miles
from Carrickfergus, whence Jackson and Crawford sailed for America. One
brother, his name is not given, lived at Ballynisca in the parish of Car
Donnell, and was father of Samuel Jackson, who became senior partner in the
Philadelphia firm of Jackson and Bayard, with whom William Paterson of
Baltimore lived when a youth. Another brother, name not given, lived at Knocknagoney,
parish of Hollywood, and his daughter married James Suffern of New York, and
brother of John Suffern, a prominent state politician. The fourth brother,
whose name is not mentioned, lived at Bally Willie,
parish of Bangor, and was called “Laird Jackson”. This memorandum could've been
prepared after the appearance of Reed's book and there is an evident purpose to
enhance Jackson's social standing. He endorsed most of his papers, but nothing
appears on this. [My NOTE: Perhaps his family’s social standing needed no
embellishment. Since this document played fast and loose with particulars, it
should be approached with caution. Generations are likely out of synch –
although the townlands mentioned are interesting]

Balloo |
Bangor |
In spite of a significant number of leases held over the
years in the Parish of Bangor, by the time of Griffiths. The only sightings
of JACKSONs in Bangor in 1863 are in the townland of Balloo aka Bellow. Other
Bangor lands became leased to husbands of JACKSON daughters, for example, the
ownership of Ballywooly by Robert Jackson BELL. |
1863 |
Balloo |
Bangor |
John JACKSON leased 20a 1r 15p of land from Mary WHITE
& Margaret PORTER. It is across the street and kitty-corner to Balloo
House, home of the NICHOLSONs from 1641. One of this family, Susannah
NICHOLSON married Hugh JACKSON of Ballywooley. NOTE:
The NICHOLSONs of Balloo were gentry, while the mid-1800s JACKSONs of Baloo
were labourers, and one son was a publican.

NOTE: The death certificate
clearly shows John JACKSON of Balloo, although the date of death was recorded
as May 22, 1866 not May 20, 1866. His wife Jane was present at his death,
which came after 4 days of fever. He was 41 years old. Instead of signing the
death certificate, she made her mark (seemingly illiterate). Son Thomas died
May 15, 1885 at Zion Place, Newtownards, and was a labourer and a widower,
age 31 years. Zion Place is at the intersection of Francis Street and Bangor
Road. His brother James was present at his death.

Ballywooley in Townland of Ballykillaire |
Bangor |
It is in the Parish of Bangor, and was just west of the
town. It was a house & farm of 86 acres in Ballykillaire townland; just E
of Crawfordsburn; residence of James Jackson in 1738 & Dr. Jackson in
1831 & Hugh Jackson Esq in 1847; leased by Robert J. Bell in 1863 from

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN WHIG.
[This is part of a four page article on Old Bangor Roads]
Now as to the eastern branch – namely that just west of
Ballyleidy House and emerging apparently just west of Ballywilly or
Ballywooley House. 1 have no doubt that the last-mentioned feature is due
simply to defective drawing, as already alluded to. This branch ought to have
been shown as terminating just cast of Crawfordsburn, and not nearly so close
to Jackson's, of Ballywooley.
True." there is an undoubted old road just west of the Jackson residence, but this was, and still
remains, the avenue to the house. Beyond the house the avenue merged into
their private way of access to Bangor old [moss?] 1 ought to say that the new
house occupies the site of the old which belonged to the early eighteenth
century. To revert, however, to the branch now under notice. If its
relationship bad been fully presented on the map- referred to, it would have
been shown on the northward continuation of the old road from Newtownards to
Crawfordburn, and pretty much as at present. The making of at least four new
roads,
however, and the incidental alterations arising from
the joining up of these with those of the eighteenth century have undoubtedly
obscured many of the old-time features of this locality – such, that is, as
met the eyes of those engaged in the survey of 1776 for the making of Taylor
and Skinner’s maps, - tours &c. ALEX MILLIGAN |

both of the City of Dublin attorneys at law & James VANCE. NOTE: Mountpleasant is in the Parish of Ballymiscaw,
Parish of Dundonald. I am unsure about Drumalleeormon. One clue is
that there is a listed
building at The Corn Mill, Mary Brook, 11 Raleagh Road, Drummaconagher,
Parish of Kilmore. A legal
case in 1869 connects this land to the bankruptcy of James Birch KENNEDY.
His wife was Charlotte BRUNKER,. And his parents were Thomas KENNEDY (abt
1782-1862) and Catherine Sarah BIRCH (?-1844). They are all in my Rootsweb
family Tree. I suspect that Charlotte BRUNKER is related to the BRUNKERs of
Monaghan, one of whom – Sarah BRUNKER (1751-1820) married John JACKSON
(1744-1824) of Crieve House Co, Monaghan, He is in the JACKSONs of Lisnaboe
family tree. Another clue is in the Belfast
Morning News 18 April 1864. James Birch KENNEDY writes from his
home at Marybrook, and references correspondence from 60 years ago between
his grandfather Rev. James Jackson BIRCH (1740-1820) of Marybrook, Dromore,
Co. Down & Lord Castlereagh about liquor policies. His grandfather was a
James BIRCH (?-1727) who married a Mary JACKSON. Her connections are as yet
