JACKSONs of Artnagullion & Islandmagee Co. Antrim. A major update: https://www.thesilverbowl.com/familytree/JACKSONs-Artnagullion-Islandmagee-ANTRIM.html The JACKSONs in this tree are also mentioned in leases and other records connected 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.

1875 Oct 12 - Will of Richard JACKSON of Derryloughan, Co. Armagh. The annotations to this will are in the exploratory phase as I try to discern which branch of JACKSONs this Richard JACKSON (1832-1875) may or may not belong to. From his marriage certificate, we learn that his father was Joseph JACKSON – but which Joseph JACKSON? The jury is still out, but the strong association with the Orange Lodge indicates a likely association with the JACKSONs of Tartaraghan. This is still a work in progress. These 1802 letters concern the fate of Elizabeth JACKSON, the widow of the United Irishman Rev. William JACKSON (abt 1737-1795). He had committed suicide while in the dock of a Dublin Court awaiting sentencing for his “treasonous” acts. His rationale for committing suicide had been to avoid his assets being seized should he be sentenced to capital punishment. These two letters, seven years after his death, concern Elizabeth's so far unsuccessful attempts to secure financial help and support in France for their two children. The wealth which she had previously enjoyed was no more. There is much more to learn. What happened to the properties that Rev. William would most likely have inherited from his JACKSON and GORE ancestors? Were there actually any properties that Elizabeth had rights to? If yes, where were they and who benefited? It always helps to follow the money (or in Ireland's case - follow the land).

Like the cobbler whose children remained shoeless, my own family tree was one of the JACKSON trees most neglected and definitely in need of updating. I have just finished a major update:https://www.thesilverbowl.com/familytree/jackson_familytree5.htm The file is now 45 pages long - mostly of footnotes including the date, and distinguishing names that have definite proof from relationships based on hunches.There is much more to add, and I will get to it as soon as I am able.

My most recent update on my www.thesilverbowl.com site includes notes on more than 6,100 memorials, and 200 new pages of notes. SEE: https://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/Links-Deeds-Notes.html Other updates can be found at https://www.thesilverbowl.com/misc/whatsnew.htm

I have created and uploaded to my Silver Bowl web site, two new JACKSON family trees.I suspect there may be a connection between the two of them, though I have yet to prove it. If they are related, it would likely be through an intermarriage with a BURTON family member. JACKSONs of Shinrone, Camblin & Roscrea. These Kings Co. JACKSONs of Camblin (aka Camlin), Roscrea, and of Shinrone are likely to be connected to other JACKSONs who resided in either Kings Co (aka Offaly) or Tipperary. The earliest JACKSON that I have a record for in Kings Co. is a Francis JACKSON who received a Grant recorded in the Down Survey. More work needed. JACKSONs of Co. Clare & Galway. The JACKSONs in this tree begin in Kilrush, Co. Clare. They were well connected both in terms of the leases to townlands that they held as well as the importance of the positions that they held in both the military and the police, and later in the medical profession. The first John JACKSON sr. is unlikely to be the first member of the family to reside in Ireland. Future generations settled in Galway, Co. Galway and the City of Dublin Please let me know if you spot errors or have anything to add. Sharon Oddie Brown December 12, 2022

Do you have famous ancestors? Diane and I would love for you to share your information with this group. To make this easier we are suspending the rule of only discussing members of your direct line. If you are a Smith but your famous ancestor is a Jones that is OK for this discussion. We want you to feel free to join in and let us all enjoy some interesting stories. Who will be first? Jim and Diane

I am looking for further info on James Jackson - 1837/1907 - Aiken, SC. He appears in the 1850 census in a Frazer family. The mother is listed as Malvina Jackson Frazer. Malvina C. Jackson married George Frazer in 1847 I believe. The 1840 census only lists Head Of Household's name and numbers for everybody else. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Jim "Pops" Jackson

This page is a work in progress, but it is the earliest lease I have transcribed of Gilbert JACKSON relating to 1st Presbyterian Church of Newtownards. https://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/1722GilbertJACKSON-Newtown.html

I have added abt 1,200 more notes on deeds since the last update. To find the names and townlands that are of interest, it works well to do a page search of each of the 11 pages hyperlinked on the right. In time, Google's Site Search will include and thereby flag the more recent uploads. That can take a while. https://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/Links-Deeds-Notes.html

1890 September 11 Will of John JACKSON of Richhill, tanner. His father was Joseph JACKSON (see 1867 May 3 Will of Joseph JACKSON of Richhill aka Rich Hill, Co. Armagh. He died August 23, 1868. He was a Leather Merchant and Farmer.). I have yet to take the family further back than this so far. February 17, 2022 1901 Census: Jacksons of DED Richhill, Co. Armagh. These notes are to help me build connections between various families, and also to rule out ones which are unlikely. February 17, 2022 1867 May 3 Will of Joseph JACKSON of Richhill aka Rich Hill, Co. Armagh. He died August 23, 1868. He was a Leather Merchant and Farmer. February 16, 2022 Probates of JACKSONs in Co. Armagh are helping me to pin down various families of JACKSONs in Co. Armagh who may or may not be related – even distantly – to each other. I started with the probates index at the National Archives of Ireland, then added links to townlands from townlands.ie for Armagh, and then added data from the 1901 and 1911 Census of Ireland. Finally, I added details from notes on those wills where there was an available image at PRONI. February 8, 2022

Has anyone heard from him as I haven’t!! Diane

In the past month, I have done a few JACKSON posts on my web site that may be of interest: Old Urker Furniture. Likely date: 1903-1942. This document links various items of furniture to the ancestors of David JACKSON of Urker and his wife Eliza OLIVER. It includes many mentions of COULTERs and BRADFORDs. DRAFT version January 1, 2022 JACKSON family Crests. This page still needs more work to make it flow better, but the significantly updated table of descriptions of arms with hyperlinks to family trees and other sources is a big enough step forward that it is worth noting. The info that I had included before on the arms of Sir Thomas JACKSON of Stanstead has been removed from this page. That material has been expanded and posted on my blog post site. SEE: JACKSON of Stansted House: Baronial Arms. December 10, 2021 December 30, 2021 Jacksons in Oxford Alumni. SOURCE: British History. My purpose in assembling this table and highlighting various words is to support those researchers who are working to establish links between the various JACKSON families who emigrated to Ireland in the 1600s and then perhaps also went back and forth to England for reasons of study, business or family. The JACKSONs of Coleraine were definitely connected to the Clothworkers part of the plantation settlements in the early 1600s, but more is still to be learned of them. They were also not the only line of JACKSONs to settle in Ireland in this time frame, although it is not unlikely that other lines will turn out to have some tangential relationship with them. Leeds, Westmorland and Yorkshire were specific places that many of them hailed from. December 9, 2021 JACKSONs of East Bridgford aka Bridgeford aka Briggford, Co. Nottinghamshire. This family starts in Nottinghamshire, and has descendants in Derbyshire, Chester, Northumberland and also Co. Cork & Co. Monaghan. Their family crest was mentioned in A Genealogical and heraldic history of the landed gentry of Great Britain and Ireland: Jacksons of Barton. Arms: Gules a fess between three sheldrakes argent. Crest: A sheldrake rising proper. Seat: Barton Hall, Preston, co. Lancaster. NOTE: There hints at connections with several Irish JACKSONs December 9, 2021 December 10, 2021

I recently gave a talk to the Armagh Historical Society about the the Letters of Eliza JACKSON nee OLIVER of Armagh. It is now on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d323LDbqmCk I would be interested in what you think. Sharon Oddie Brown.

I have just updated this page: https://www.thesilverbowl.com/maps/Kings-OFFALY/Deeds-KingsCo.html Included is a parish map which I created since I was unable to find a suitable one on line. Sharon Oddie Brown

"Here too one must mention the pastor of the Irish in Montreal, Rev. Richard Jackson, P, SS., who gave his life for his flock, 21st July 1847. Forty years earlier he came to Montreal a young and zealous Episcopalian minister from Virginia with a special 'call' to save the Sulpician Fathers from the road to perdition! His mission failed. As a convert he joined the community of St. Sulpice, whose history and work he had long admired." SOURCE: http://www.dippam.ac.uk/ied/records/29620 His birth date is my estimate. He died - I think of cholera - but I am curious which line of JACKSONs in Virginia he may have belonged to. He was a priest at St. Sulpice in Quebec, Canada.

With the New Year I hope we can get back to our family research. You are encouraged to send in your questions, comments and any related information you would like to share. Best wishes, Jim and Diane
