Rev. Richard JACKSON (1602-1681)
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.

JACKSONs & Townland clusters in Ireland
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.

JACKSONs of Artnagullion & Islandmagee Co. Antrim.
JACKSONs of Artnagullion & Islandmagee Co. Antrim.? A major update:
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.

Silver Bowl website updates
. 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 . This is still a work in progress.
, 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).

JACKSONs of Urker aka Urcher & Liscalgot, Co. Armagh
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.

Two new family trees: JACKSONs of Kings Co (Offaly) & also of Co Clare
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.
- . These Kings Co. JACKSONs of Camblin (aka ), , and of 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.
- ?
- y. 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?
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?

James Jackson of Aiken SC
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.

1722 lease: Gilbert JACKSON re: 1st Presbyterian Church of Newtownards.

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.

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.
