DRAFT:These are no more than rough notes. Hopefully they will make sense to anyone who is curious about how I came to the conclusions that I reached in the previous blog post: Rev.
William Jackson and his GORE ancestry. I welcome input and correction. Always.
Who was Rev. William JACKSON's first wife?
 |
| This marriage cert is a long shot, but .... Rev. William JACKSON was married by a Rev. Theophilus JONES to an Ann PALMER daughter of Matthew PALMER. NOTE: A Theophilus JONES, M.P. - who may or may not be the same person - was a son of Walter JONES and Olivia COOTE (daughter of Chidley COOTE). He was also secretary to Augustus Hervey, 3rd Earl of Bristol. Rev. William JACKSON had significant friendship with the wife of Augustus HERVEY, Elizabeth Chudleigh (1720–1788. There are too many compelling coincidences here to ignore. |
In the following Memorial of a Deed, is the
forename of Jackson’s grandmother (Elizabeth), and also the names of two of her
children by her first marriage to Col. Francis GORE. The same cluster of key townlands
included in this deed were echoed in more than half a dozen subsequent deeds. SEE:
GORE and SALE aka SALL deeds.
NOTE: The hyperlinked memorial numbers will take you to deeds accessed
through Family
Search’s memorials of deeds. My notes do not include the complete text, but
the original source can be found there. The hyperlinks of the townland names
will take you to the Irish Townlands
site. This gives the geographical context.

|
NOTE: A Cartron was an Anglo-Norman word used to designate
a “quarter of land”. Some these names morphed into townland names. Some just
disappeared. A few cautions. Often there is more than one townland with
the same name in the same county and that can straddle parish borders in the
same way that some of the parishes straddle Baronies. Current boundaries are
not always the same as in the original deeds.
NOTE: The parish of Killasnet is shaded in yellow and is on
the western border of Cloonclare
while the parish of Inishmagrath
is south of both parishes and nearby but not contiguous with either.
Half of the Parish of Cloonclare mentioned in
the above memorial is clearly in the Barony of Rosclogher and half of
it is in the Barony of Drumahaire.
This helps researchers to determine which townlands are either contiguous, or at
least nearby. Often the intervening townlands can be found in the hands of
relations.
Contemporary maps show where these parishes
are in relation to current roads and towns.
NOTE: The proximity of Manorhamilton aka Manor
Hamilton is likely to prove interesting
in terms of the Jackson family connections.
In the map above that shows the whole county of Leitrim, Innishmagrath is the southermost of the three parishes shaded in yellow.
These contemporary maps are useful when
overlaid with earlier road networks. For example, Skinner
and Taylors’ Maps of the Roads of Ireland, 2nd ed. 1783 shows
the distances and main routes between Manor Hamilton and the Town of Sligo. This is significant because of the numerous leases of the Gore
and Booth-Gore families both in Co. Sligo and Co. Leitrim. The holdings of Col.
Francis Gore in Leitrim listed in ROD:
56-171-37456 (near Manor Hamilton) were only about ten miles away from the Town of Sligo.
 |
| Page 55 ( page 75 in the pdf version) NOTE: On page IV (page 3 in the pdf), it clarifies that measurements are given in both British and Irish miles. 11 Irish miles equal 14 British. M=Miles; F= Furlongs. |
The highlighted route in the map above is the uppermost of the two routes circled beneath.
 |
| Page 65 (in the pdf format, it is page 87) |
NOTE: Town of Sligo is page 60 [pdf pg 90]. Page 55 shows
distances. Page 4 shows context. Page 65 shows two ways to get to Sligo from
Mannor Hamilton and also includes the names of relations such as the WYNNEs.
 |
| The marginalia on the blank page between Maps 2 & 3 may be useful with respect to JACKSON leases in Co. Meath. The JACKSONs of Drogheda were related somehow to the PEPPARDs. The selling of an estate in exchange for a horse was not uncommon among soldiers who had no interest in owning land: "Ballygarth with other denominations of land containing 700 acres confirmed to Captain George Pepper under the act of settlement from 1666. Tradition says that he was a Cromwellian Trumpeter & gave a white horse in exchange for the estate"...See also PEPPARDs of Co. Louth. |

From ROD:

Who was the GORE grandmother of Rev.
William Jackson?
Although many Irish wills went up in smoke
in 1922, Betham’s Abstracts GORE has an abstract which shows not
only that Elizabeth Sale ors Gore had written her will in 1732, but that it was
not proved until 1744. Perhaps it took a decade to be proved because there was
an overabundance of lawyers in the family, or else because the double marriages
added complexity. This is guesswork.
The deed beneath reveals that Elizabeth Sale
had already died sometime before Feb 5, 1735, therefore between 1732-1735. One
other key tidbit in the deed that follows is Elizabeth’s birth name: Tiffin.

The following deed shows that Elizabeth als
Sale als Gore als Tiffin, most likely had rights to leases in Castle Street in
the Town of Sligo. This is the first deed that is at least circumstantial evidence of the Sligo-Gore
connection first mentioned in the newspaper accounts of Rev. William Jackson in 1794. SEE: The
United Irishmen – Their Lives and Times.

An incomplete entry in Baronetage
and Knightage of the British Empire - 2nd part of The Peerage,
Baronetage and Knightage Joseph Foster 1882 ed. p.266 echoes the Tiffin
aka Tyffan link. NOTE: The father-n-law of Col
Francis GORE was also a Col. Service
in the army was the source of their connection.
Another genealogy was included in The
Gentleman's and London Magazine: Or Monthly Chronologer, 1741-1794 page
485. Published in September 1746, it was at least close to contemporaneous and
it mentions a son Tyffan Gore. His name does not show up in the deeds as a son
of Col. Francis GORE. There is a possibility that there was confusion with a
grandson of Col. Tyffan. That Tiffan Gore was the son of Rev. Francis Gore.
A will for a Zacharia Tiffin in 1702 in
Dublin led me back to Bethams Abstracts, and to an abstract which identifies
Elizabeth Tiffin as the daughter of Col. Tiffin aka Tyffan. Elizabeth GORE né TIFFIN
was already widowed.

Combining regiment lists with deeds
research can be rewarding because of the nature of the bonds formed between men
in battle. In the English

NOTE: Zacharia Tiffin was the first to raise the Royal
Irish Regiment in Enniskillen in 1689. Tiffin’s
regiment, which originated with forces raised by Gustavus Hamilton, was one
of those supporting King William III and he was active in the 'neighbourhood
of St. James Town'.
The will of Zacharia Tiffin connected to the
abstract to a will of Francis Gore in another
Bentham’s Abstract in 1701,. This one names the minor aged children of Francis
and Elisabeth: Henry, Catherine and Anne. The youngest daughter, Anne, would
become the mother of Rev. William Jackson. Because Anne was still a minor at the
time of her father Col. Francis Gore’s death, she would have been born sometime
between 1680-1701.
INSERT 1701 Francis GORE

Hon
Francis GORE to Elizabeth GORE the wife and relict

Catherine & Anne Minor children
Admon
granted 28 Feb 1701
|
NOTE: Why Francis Gore is not mentioned in his father’s will, I don’t know
– but this kind of omission happens and often for no discernable reason.
NOTE: In 1701, at the time of Col Francis GORE’s
death, Zacharia Tiffin's regiment was in Antigua
Since the birth date of, Rev. Francis Gore,
the youngest son of Elizabeth Tiffin and Col Francis GORE was about 1684, it is
likely that she would have been too late-in-life to conceive a child in her 2nd
marriage to John Sale. That marriage had to have been sometime after 1701. Rev.
Francis Gore (1684-1763) of St. Patrick’s Close, Dublin named one of his sons Tyffin
Gore –a variant spelling of Tiffin.

The dots are already starting to connect.
Elizabeth Tiffin first married a Col. Francis Gore, and then after his death, a
John Sale. In her first marriage, she has sons Henry Gore and Francis Gore. A Speer
family tree on rootsweb mirrors much of that I have found through deeds
about Col. Francis Gore. As in other trees, it shows that Col Francis Gore (d.
1728) was an uncle of Sir Nathanial Gore (1692-1737).

Edward Sale’s death is corroborated by the notice in The
Gentlemans and London Magazine or Monthly Chronologer 1741-1794. He probably died in
February. At the time of his death he was the Register of the Consistory Court
in Dublin and was and was described as T.U.D. In November 1737 in The
Gentleman and Citizens Almanack for 1737 , he was Register of
the Consistory Court in Dublin and a J.U.D. (Juris Utriusque Doctor - Doctor Both of Canon and Civil Law),
It is Dr. Edward Sale’s leases of 10 acres of
Sandymount in Co. Wicklow, which strongly indicate that Anne Jackson nee Gore
is the mother of Rev. William Jackson. SEE: Leases mentioning Sandymount Co Wicklow.

Ann JACKSON of City of Dublin
widow of 1 pt & Catherine SALE of City of Dublin widow of Edward SALE

The deed beneath contains
the earliest date that shows Anne JACKSON as a
widow. If the birthdate for Rev. William Jackson is accurate – abt 1737, then
he was fatherless at a very early age and would likely have been living in
Dublin with his mother. Given that his father was Proctor in Dublin, this is a
logical location for at least some of his early years.
1740 Sep 3 ROD: 102-223-70490 Whereby Marlborough STERLING granted to Anne

Next Step: THE PARENTS OF Col. FRANCIS
GORE
Bentham’s Abstracts includes notes from the will of Col
Francis’ brother Richard Gore of Sligo:
Richard GORE of Sligo Esq.
12 Feb 1752 - 19 Nov 1753
Daughters Anne GORE, Gertrude [?]
Eldest son Richard
Son Francis
Daughter Deborah Baily
Nephews Henry GORE
Brother Col. Francis [GORE]
Other secondary sources also include
Francis as a brother of Richard and hence a son of Sir Francis Gore and Lady
Anne Parke.
SIR FRANCIS GORE (4th son of Sir Paul Gore, see Earl of Arran) of
Artaman, co Sligo Knt. M.P. for that County 1661, lieut-col Chidley Coote’s
Regiment of Foot 1660, had a grant of lands in cos Kilkenny, Sligo and Galway,
1660 he married Anne, dau of Capt. Robert Parke of Sligo and of Newtown, Co.
Leitrim (she re-m to Percy Gethin Esq. (BART) and d Feb 1713 having had with other issue, 5 sons…. (1) Sir Robert of
Newtown Gore … (2) Paul of Corstown, Co. Kilkenny … (3) Francis married _____
dau of Col. Tyffin, and had a son Tyffan. Baronetage
and Knightage of the British Empire - 2nd part of The Peerage,
Baronetage and Knightage Joseph Foster 1882 ed. (pg. 264-266)
Although in this pedigree he is not
identified as Col Francis Gore, the fact that his wife is
identified as a daughter of Col Tyffin completes
the puzzle..
NOTE: The deeds work does not corroborate the allegation in the Baronetage
and Knightage that Col Francis Gore had a son named Tyffan, but Bentham’s Abstracts mentions a grandson
named Tiffin Gore, son of Rev. Francis GORE.
Francis GORE St. Patricks Close Co. Dublin 13 July pd 1 Mar 1763
Wife Margaret GORE ors Powell
Mother Elizabeth Sale ors GORE widow of John Sale
Son-in-law Samuel Cox
Daughter Elizabeth Cox wife of Do
Sone Tiffin GORE
Daughter Catherine Marks
A map of Co. Leitrim shows where the
various brothers and cousins of Col. Francis Gore had holdings in Co. Leitrim
Although the property that Col. Francis
Gore passed on to his sons in Co. Leitrim seems to have come from the dower of
his mother Anne Parke, his Gore relations obviously had been landlords in surrounding
parishes.His father was an officer in Lieutenant-Colonel Coote's Regiment, so
it is worth noting that there was more than one Coote-Gore intermarriage
attesting to the closeness of the Coot and Gore families.
In
spite of the land holdings in Co. Leitrim passed on to the sons of Col Francis
Gore, his father is most often associated with Artaman, Co. Sligo. Like most of
the Gores, he held land and had political connections to more than one county.
His eldest son Sir Robert Gore picked up most of the Co. Leitrim holdings with
his third son Col. Francis Gore scoring leaner pickings,
Chidley Coote held several leases in Co.
Leitrim. This adds to the circumstantial links of other family connections.
