I have added the following to my page on the DICKIEs of Co. Louth SEE: http://www.thesilverbowl.com/images/Dickie/Dickie.htm When I have time, I will post a segment of a map to show where Woodbine Cottage is. The part added to this page is in the following section: DICKIE Erected by John J. Dickie of Clanaleenan . . . Charles . . . so. of Lisnaboe, County of Meath . . . the 18th day of Oct 1815 aged . . . years. And is here interred at his own request Also of interest: "Erected by John DICKIE of Crunleenan in memory of Lieutenant Charles JACKSON of Lisnaboe, County Meath late HM 3rd Regiment of Buffs who died at Woodbine Cottage 18 October 1813 aged 75 years and here interred at his own request." NOTE: This is of special interest for a number of reasons as I try to unpuzzle family connections: Woodbine Cottage was just across the road from Derryfalone House (home of John Thomas DICKIE at the time of Griffiths Valuation) at Hackballs Cross close to Clonaleenaghan. All were in the Parish of Barronstown. HM 3rd Regiment of Buffs was also active in the 1812 War in North America. There may be no connection, but a Boatswain Charles JACKSON is buried in a cluster of British officers graves. I wonder if he might have been a son of the Charles JACKSON (1738-1813) - who would have been too old to be in that campaign himself, but military careers do tend to run in a family. SOURCE: Lossings Field Pictorial Field-Book Of The War Of 1812. Benson J. Lossing 1869. Chapter Xxxvii. Events On Lake Champlain In 1814. The famous (or infamous - depending on ones perspective) JACKSONs of Ballybay, Co. Monaghan originally came from Lisnabo(e), a townland which is a little less than 2 miles south of Kingscourt, Co. Cavan in the Parish of Enniskeen, Co. Meath (in fact, in an earlier ordering of county borders, it was considered to be in Co. Cavan). There are many attempts to define an accurate family tree for this line, but the most accurate work comes from Bill Farrell. Thomas JACKSON descendant of John JACKSON (see CRIEVE) and grandfather of the Hugh JACKSON was born in Lisnabo 1709 (thence to BALLYBAY in 1740s). Also, several of the LDS BMD pages showed our JACKSONs as "relative of Charles JACKSON"I hope to soon post a Ballybay Jackson Tree that will build on his work and perhaps have suggestions on where to look next. The John DICKIE referred to of Crunleenan is most likely John Thomas DICKIE (1787-1876) who was the husband of Elizabeth McCULLAGH. (1794-1819). She died shortly after marriage (without issue) and was a daughter of Thomas McCULLAGH (1734-1818) of Derryvalley and Jane REED (1735-1806) of Slieveroe. Thomas McCULLAGH's brother was James McCULLAGH of Derryvalley and later of Shantonagh. He had three children, one of whom was the daughter Elizabeth McCULLAGH (1788-1880) who married John JACKSON (1780-1817) of Urker, near Crossmaglen, Co. Armagh. Now, we can't quite close the gap here - but the convergence of name is interesting. James JACKSON (1743-1822) of Ballybay had a daughter Elizabeth, presumably with his common law wife (although that designation wasn't used then) Sarah BLACK. She would have presumably been born after the death of his wife in 1784. His will states "I leave and bequeath to my natural daughter Elizabeth McCULLAGH alias JACKSON and her issue the a share of the tenement she now lives in subject to the chief rent". Presumably, she married a McCULLAGH. Please let me know if it contains any errors of fact that you can spot (or grammar & spelling!)
