This is my latest blog post: It took a lot of deft maneuvering for Rev. Richard JACKSON (1602-1681) to hold on to his financial assets, many of which had become seriously diminished by the mid-1600s. It was one hot mess of a time to be living in - with the collision of cultural-financial-religious power struggles reaching their peak in both England and Ireland. Even so, at the end of his life, he was able to pass on significant wealth to many of his 23 children, most of whom had lived to adulthood and many of whom had settled in Ireland (his 1st wife Dorothy OTWAY was mother of the first 15 children and died abt 1645; his 2nd wife Jane CARTER gave birth to the remaining 8 children). In the lives of his surviving children, the uplift from his financial legacy, as well as the contribution of his mercantile, church and government connections are clear. Many of his descendants went on to exercise considerable political and economic power in Ireland for at least the next couple of hundred years. https://sharonoddiebrown.blogspot.com/2025/03/rev-richard-jackson-1602-1681.html

It has been far too long since I posted anything substantive on my website. Although my work has been proceeding at a glacial pace, much of it - like an iceberg - has been added underwater and is substantive. The results will soon be included in a number of shorter pieces (this one is 21 pages long - ARGH!). In Townland Clusters – a tool for unearthing women’s history - I have assembled a timeline which includes clusters of holdings which Abigail JACKSON (1683-1763) held in Dublin, Cavan, Meath and Monaghan, and which were mentioned in her January 5, 1737 marriage settlement (I have included extensive notes on it). These holdings echoed the holdings listed in the will of Samuel JACKSON (1705) of Dublin. This marriage memorial was recorded 31 years after the death of her uncle Samuel JACKSON - when she was 54 years old and her (second) husband Oliver CROFTON (1710-1780) was 27 years old. In a later piece, which I am still working on, I will say more about Abigail & Oliver, and their most unusual marriage. https://www.thesilverbowl.com/history/Townland%20Clusters-Samuel%20JACKSON-Abigail%20JACKSON.html

I have some info about Rev. Thomas JACKSON, born at leeds, Yorkshire and buried at Downpatrick. Some of his info (I have more) is at the bottom of the transcription of this probate of a will. He had a wife, but I know nothing of her. Thoughts? https://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/1698-William-JACKSON-Dublin-Boston.html? He lived at Ballyvange, Parish of Down, in the Barony of Lecale Upper, (which is now part of Downpatrick) 1700-1708. I have yet to do deeds work to see what I might be able to unearth. I note that Castleskreen, Parish of Bright, in the Barony of Lecale Upper (where he preached) is just south east of Banbridge.

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).

I haven’t heard from him in ages, does anyone know whether he is alright please?? Thanks. Diane

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

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

n 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 PS Kings Co. was the old name, used when many of these deeds were signed.

Recently someone shared with me a photo of a piece of silver cutlery showing a Jackson family crest with the image of a two-headed bird (eagle) and (I think) the paws of a lion beneath. Now I cannot find it, and I have also forgotten the name of the sender. I beg forgiveness, and hope that whoever shared it can resend. It is likely to be key. Thank you, Sharon Oddie Brown

I have just made the start of what looks to be a major breakthrough linking the JACKSONs of Co. Armagh with some of the JACKSONs in Carlow, Wicklow and Kings Co. and also Ontario, Canada. The trigger for this breakthrough because of the new info I have added in this updated page: https://www.thesilverbowl.com/maps/Tullyvallen-JACKSONs.html I will have more in the weeks to come.

History of the County of Middlesex, Canada (1889) https://archive.org/details/historyofcountyo00torouoft/page/872/mode/1up?q=Jackson Minchin Jackson, a farmer of Middlesex County, Canada, is of Irish descent and a son of Minchin Jackson, who was a gentleman by birth and a landed proprietor of Tipperary County, Ireland, his estate being called Mount Pleasant. The family resided in England at a remote period, but had resided at Mount Pleasant for many genera- tions, where they were among the highly honored and prominent old country families of the county. The arms of the Jackson family may be blazoned as follows : Shield, on a field argent, a chevron gules, invected, between three eagles' heads sable, erased. Crest two lions' paws, erased and erected, supporting the heads, and erased neck of an Imperial or double eagle the eagle of the German Empire. The occurrence of this device, which is quite unusual in the heraldry of Great Britain and Ireland, appears to suggest military service performed in Germany by a member of the Jackson family. The motto is : " Haec Csesaris ilia Jovis " " To Csesar this belongs, and that to Jove." Minchin Jackson, sr., lived to be seventy-two years of age, and became the father of four children, who, like himself, were mem- bers of the Church of England. Their names are as follows : George, William, Catherine and Minchin. The latter was born on the old homestead, in Ireland, in 1812, and received an excellent English education, but being of an enterprising and energetic disposition he, at the age of twenty-two years, determined to seek his fortune in the New World, and about a year and a-half after landing in Canada pur- chashed 200 acres of land of Col. Talbot, to whom he had a letter of introduction from his brother, Major Jackson, of the First Eoyals, and as he had brought considerable money with him from his old home, he was enabled to hire his land cleared. In 1849 he was married to Miss Frances Erriugton, a daughter of Rev. Ralph and Margaret D. (Watson) Errington, and their union was blessed in the birth of four daughters Frances D., Louisa J., Letitia and Mary E. Frances D. attended school in Newcastle, England, and was mar- ried there to Dr. George H. Hume, by whom she has five children William E., Norman H., Frances E., Margaret D. and Phyllis M. Louisa J. also attended school at Newcastle, was married to Charles Henry Lloyd, and is residing in Ireland at Lisheen Castle. She is the mother of seven children Frances L., Henry M., Jane E., Cuthbert R., George H., Harriet E. and Robert T. Charles H. Lloyd, Esq., J. P., County Tipperary, Ireland, was one of the landed proprietors of Ireland summoned by the Royal Land Commissioners to attend before the House of Lords on the land question of Ireland. He did attend. Letitia was educated at home by her mother, and was married to Thomas H. Shore, of Westminster Township, by whom she has six children Frances E. L., William H., Mary E., Charles J., Francis M. and Arthur F. The last daughter, Mary E. Jackson, married Francis Shore, also of Westminster Township, and their family consists of four children Thomas F., Henry M., John A. M. and Alfred E. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson are the grandparents of twenty-two children, and are earnest and consistent members of the Church of England, in which he has been warden for many years, he being one of the founders of that Church in the township. He has been a Delegate to the Provincial Synod, and also to the Diocese and the yearly Synod, and has rilled the office of Captain of the Militia for many years. He has filled the office of Magistrate since about 1840, and has ever taken a deep interest in educational matters, and, in fact, has given substantial aid to all enter- prises tending to benefit the County. He was largely instrumental in establishing the Eailroad Station at Glanworth, spending freely his money and time, his efforts in this matter being greatly appreciated by his fellow-townsmen. He is now seventy-six years of age, but retains his mental and physical faculties to a wonderful degree, and gives pro
