Descendants John,Peter and James were all born in Ballybeg. Peter, the son of James was born in Gusserane, New Ross in Wexford County.  This line is believed to be related to many Jackman families in Tulow, Carlow County and Wexford County.  The names Jackman and Chapman in Wexford are pronounced the same, so this is possibly another connection.
