| Jacksons of Co. Longford, Dublin & Kings Co. A blog post on my blog site. The starting point for the Co. Longford Jacksons comes from Benthams Abstracts, where Richard Jackson was described as being of Tinenane, Co. Longford. |

| Memorials of Deeds in Kings Co. There are several lines of JACKSONs in Kings Co. that I suspect will link to JACKSONs in Dublin as well as to JACKSONs in other counties such as Queens, Wicklow, Tipperary and Kildare. Likely others. Update: April 15, 2021 I added dozens of new deeds. Many, but not all, were for PUREFOYs. |

| Jacksons of Grange Kings Co. A blog post; Two brothers, Robert and Henry, got into a legal slug fest over land, and left documentary traces of the whole kafuffle. After this, it seems that Henry retreated east and set up a life for himself in Co. Wicklow. This is not unusual. Jackson families did not stay within carefully delineated County bounds. |

| Down Survey Maps. This project by Trinity is brilliant. Many of the old names are included and it is possible to look at the baronies in detail. |

| 1842 Kings Co. Officials. This record is of interest when it comes to tracking links between various JACKSONs because of the range of counties that these officials called home while serving in offices in Kings Co. aka Offaly. Also, several of these men had married into the JACKSONs of Kings Co. Others had married into JACKSONs of other counties. |

PUREFOY family deeds. I started this page of deeds seeking to understand why a Capt. Francis JACKSON had been awarded the townland of Clonsast after 1641 and before
1670. This grant was unusual for a few reasons, but significantly, it was smack
in the middle of a cluster of townlands awarded at about the same time to the Col William PUREFOY (1584-1659). Was there a connection between the two men
or their families? So far: No. ... Sigh … My vain hope is that all this
research may be useful to others.
Purefoy Family Tree: Basil, Peter & Arthur were brothers who were granted lands in Ireland after 1641, and their cousin
Lt. Col. William PUREFOY (1584-1659) was also
granted lands. He died sans issue and his lands went to William PUREFOY (1622-1699), a brother of Basil,
Peter & Arthur. |

| FAMILY TREES with connections to Kings Co. |
|
| JACKSONs
of Ballyboy, Kings Co. aka Offaly This tree starts with
an unnamed JACKSON born in the late 1600s who supposedly came from the North
of Ireland. There are likely connections to other JACKSON trees where the DROUGHT
family is mentioned, and also JACKSONs from Parsonstown
aka Birr. . Many of the Jacksons in this line ended up in Canada.
There is more than one line of JACKSONs that starts in the late 1600s in
Ballyboy, Kings. Co. This tree incorporates material from some trees that
have been shared by other JACKSON family researchers, as well as other
material interpolated from deeds research and PRONI, and the National
Archives in Dublin. There is much more to learn here. Updated: |

| Minchin Jackson family tree This tree is tantalizingly
close to the tree of the Jacksons
of Kings Co. I do not yet know whether it will tie in to other trees I
have assembled thus far. The senior George JACKSON would have been born in
the latter part of the 1600s, although where, I do not know. Keep tuned in. I
will update as I learn more. The family crest included three eagles heads. Updated February

| A Second
line of Quaker JACKSONs in Kings Co. This tree starts
with Nicholas Jackson of Seathwaite, Lancashire. His grandson John JACKSON
was born 1703 in Ballinolarbin, King's Co., and a grand-daughter, Mary
JACKSON, was born in Timahoe, Barony of Clane, Co. Kildare. They emigrated to
America and intermarried with members of the previous Quaker tree from the
same region. Updated: July 28, 2018 |

| JACKSONs of Kings Co. - Seirkeiran. This particular line of JACKSONs is not the only JACKSON family to show up in Kings Co., and they may be related to other such lines. If anyone can help couple some of these together, I would be more than grateful. Updated: January 13, 2019. |

| Jacksons of Ballygibbon, Co. Kildare NOTE: Ballygibbon is close to the parishes of Ardkill and Tomahoe, where there were JACKSONs in the early 1700s. A link is likely. It is also about 8 miles from Drehid, Co. Kildare where one line of the Quaker JACKSONs lived. Updated: July 29, 2018 Major update. |

| One line of Jacksons from Tipperary, Kings Co & Co. Kildare. The oral history associated with
this tree is that a Capt JACKSON of Ballyboy was granted lands by Cromwell and
was granted a dwelling, farm and outhouses situated on the Silver River, nr
Frankford (Kilcormac), Co Offaly (aka Kings County). He had served in Cromwell’s
army along with a Major Whitford who was granted a
mountain (Mountore) in Tipperary. This land is still in the hands of Whitfords. The first known generation of this tree begins with
a Grace WHITFORD. She would likely be a descendant of that Major WHITFORD. |
