Various genealogies have tried to shoehorn Abraham into different Jackson
lineages where he just does not fit. He has been inserted in at least three
different unrelated genealogies where the facts of the matter and lack of
supporting documentation disprove these connections.
Many of these alleged connections involve contradictory facts. Some people
want Abraham to fit so badly they keep trying to force him into somebody
else's family line. Little public documentation is available. There are many
Jacksons and Abraham was a popular name in the 1800s. There is a Jackson clan
in Hill County, Texas, where related Greens and others lived. This looks
promising but no firm connections there have been confirmed for our Abraham.
One family that some have tried to hard to identify with Abraham Jackson is
Abraham Jasper Jackson of Montgomery, Alabama. But Abraham Jasper was born in
Georgia, then his family moved to Montgomery, while what info we do have
indicates that Abraham B (or B S) Jackson in Gainesville, Texas, was born in
Alabama. His details do not match our Abraham. In June 2015, I did make a
connection of one son of Abraham Jasper Jackson with Hillsboro, Hill County,
Texas.
A widow of one Robert Lewis Jackson made application in 1913 for a Confederate
widow's military pension. Her application indicates that they had lived in
Hillsboro for 29 years before. Robert Lewis was a son of Abraham Jasper
Jackson of Montgomery, Alabama. And Robert Lewis served in an Alabama Unit of
the Confederate army. But no clear connection has been found to our Abraham
Jackson.
Back in October 2007, I first analyzed the census entry of 1860 for Abraham
and Talitha. They were in Cooke County, Texas, near Gainesville. They are
enumerated as a separate family in the same household with a Moses A Jackson,
age 31. We suspected Moses was Abe's brother, and later Chickasaw Nation
residence records found only in 2015 seemed to support that.

Talitha Jackson 17 born Georgia [b abt 1843]

A Jackson (our Abraham) is 23, married to Talitha, age 17. One member of
their family appears to be a brother of Abraham, James Jackson, age 25. Both
Abraham and James were born in Alabama. It seems likely that Moses is also a
relative, and the age would indicate he is a brother, but his birth state is
given as Illinois, and his wife is from Indiana. This could be accounted for
in migration of the family, and an error of state of birth is common in the
censuses. It is possible, however, that they just happen to be boarding with
another family named Jackson.
Further informatoin came to light later and in February 2016 more calrity came
on Moses Jackson and his lineage. His parents were Shadrack )or Shadrick)
Jackson and Anna B Hyatt. His parents are buried in Plano, Collin County,
Texas. The Maynard Genealogy of this Jackson family has extensive records and
family informaion, and has no Abraham.
A commont by another Moses Jackson genealogist also seems to eliminate Abraham
from this family as a son of Shadrack and Prudence.

Three living children reported by family trees are Moses Andrew,
Shadrack/Shadrick Joshua, and Frances M.
James Jackson in the 1860 census is 2 years older than Abraham. It is
interesting that James Jackson is listed as a member of Abraham's family, and
not in Moses' family. This may indicate a closer relationship with Abraham
than with Moses. I have been unable to find any further information about
this Moses Jackson.
Note that A (Abe) Jackson and James Jackson are both born in Alabama. If they
are all three brothers, it would mean that the family moved from a former
location, probably South Carolina or Georgia, where many other Jacksons live,
some of whom also married Greens of this same family. With this birth
information, they would have had to move first northwest to Indiana, then
within 6 years moved southwest to Alabama. They then moved straight west to
Texas as a family, perhaps?
A cousin and co-researcher on the Jacksons and Greens, Kati Jackson, reported
finding that someone had entered a maiden name for Moses Jackson's wife Anna
in comments on the census posted at Ancestry.com. This person names her Anna
Hyatt. This might open up some more leads to learn more about these other
Jacksons.
The census information indicates Anna (Hyatt) was born about 1939 in Indiana.
Kati found a family tree that has her spouse as Moses Andrew Jackson, filling
out the detail of the 1860 entry for her husband. This matches the family Abe
and Talitha are living with in 1860 in Gainesville, Texas.
The names A S Jackson & A B S Jackson on Texas tax records seem to be for the
same person as Abraham Jackson, known to the Green family as Abe. These
correlate with Chickasaw Nation residence permits & other Indian Nation
records for Greens & Jacksons. Members of this Green-Jackson family were also
present in Indian Territory during the Civil War while maintaining residence
south of the border in Cooke County, Texas.
A Civil War record seems to refer to our Abraham Jackson, in the Scanland
Squadron, Texas Company A. This was part of the Wells Regiment. They were
stationed in Ft Arbuckle, Oklahoma. The Jacksons later lived not far south of
here, in the Ardmore and Marietta areas. This Squadron was active in CSA
operations in northeastern Oklahoma and Northwestern Arkansas. This also
provides a likely link to court records we have found with names of Abraham
Jackson and related Greens, Jacob, Daniel and Jack, in the Ft Smith, Arkansas
area.
Two other Jacksons are in the list, and may be kin to Abraham. It may be that
William is another brother of Abe. He named his first son William Daniel.
(This may also indicate that Abraham's father was named William.) Ben does
not otherwise show up in any family information. But this William may be the
William H Jackson who was given a residence permit to live in Chickasaw Nation
about the same time as Abe and his family, and Abe's father-in-law Toliver
Green. That William H Jackson was enrolled in the Chickasaw Nation as an
intermarried white, in Pontotoc County. He received his residence permit 3
days before Abe and Talitha and Toliver received theirs. (See below.)

When the Civil War began, the Federal troops in Indian Territory received
orders from Washington to withdraw to Texas. The Confederacy moved in to
established control and alliances with the Five Civilized Tribes. The indian
Territory became a district of the Confederacy. Ft Gibson, in the western
part of Cherokee Nation, had come under Cherokee Troops' control when the
Federals withdrew in 1857, before the war. The Cherokees were largely taken
out of the picture by their own civil war, as two factions of the tribe
disagreed over alignment and leadership. This division continues today.
Chickasaw Nation was closely aligned culturally and economically with the
Confederacy. A large proportion of the Chickasaws owned slaves, and a high
proportion were mixed-blood. There was a high rate of White-Chickasaw
intermarriage, and the Chickasaws were the richest of the Five civilized
Tribes. The primary duty of the Texas and Confederate troops assigned to
Indian Territory was to protect the allied Nations from the unaligned and
unsettled tribes in the unassigned and leased lands. Jacksons and Greens
intermarried with Chickasaws in this and later generations.
Abraham and his family are placed in Wise County, Texas, in 1870, a fact I
discovered from the death certificate of his granddaughter, Gertie Philpot
Handy. Gertie's death certificate reports the places of birth of her parents.
Gertie's mother, Alice Jackson Philpot is reported born in 1870 in Wise
County, Texas. Wise County is a few counties south of Cooke County (south of
Ft Worth), where Abe and Talitha married and were enumerated in the 1870
census.
There may have been some of Talitha's Green and Barnett family still living
there at the time. It is not known if Abe and Talitha themselves had a
residence in Wise County. It is also possible that only Talitha went there
for the birth. It could also be that the Wise County as Alice's place of
birth is an error of faulty memory in the younger generations of the family,
which we have seen in several other cases. Since there are other family
associations with Wise County, that location may have gotten confused in time
and events inconsistent with the actual timeline of Alice's parents' life.
They were not enumerated in the 1870 census there. Legal records from about
1870 to 1875 also place Abraham in Indian Territory. No specific location is
identifiable.
We started reconstructing this family from the known marriage of Abraham
Jackson and Talitha Green in Cooke County, Texas, in May 1860. We had no
family information for Abraham, no father's name or other clues. It has
involved quite a journey through several states and differing genealogies that
led back to different starting points. Note that the Moses Jackson in the
same household was born in Illinois, and his wife Anna born in Indiana. This
may indicate a migration from the east through the Midwest, or a movement from
Georgia or Alabama to the Midwest before coming to Texas. It is also possible
the name Jackson is only coincidental.
Some others had made a tentative connection with an Abraham Jasper (or Abraham
J) Jackson in Montgomery, Alabama. There are so many Abraham Jacksons in
Alabama, with uncertain connection to similar Jackson families in Georgia and
South Carolina. Some genealogies have mixed different Jackson family
lineages, trying to make Abraham fit into some Jackson lineage. This has
created confusion on just how to reconstruct the correct family of Abraham
Jackson who married Talitha Green in Texas, and later raised their family in
Indian territory and Texas.
In the 1850 census for Montgomery County, Alabama, an Abraham J's mother has
died. His father Abraham B Jackson is head of the household with all the
children at home. On the same page, living nearby are three other Jackson
households:
John Jackson and his wife Temperance and 8 children. John and Temperance were
both born in North Carolina, as were their first 3 children, so they are
probably not directly kin to Abraham's family.
Lewis Jackson and wife Aramenta L Jackson. Lewis was born in North Carolina,
and Aramenta was born in Georgia. If Lewis married his wife in Georgia, where
she had been born, this family could have crossed paths with Abraham's family
in Georgia.
Lewis and John are age 44 and 42 respectively, and they live next door to each
other. It seems likely that they are kin, maybe brothers or cousins. John,
though the younger one, married about the same time as Lewis, from the ages of
their first children.
Lewis' wife was born in Georgia while the younger John's wife was born in
North Carolina. All Lewis and Aramenta's children were born in Alabama. This
seems to indicate that Lewis and Aramenta met and married in Alabama.
A third Jackson is 21 year old Philip, who married Elizabeth, now 17, and they
have one child William H, only 5 months old at the census. Philip was born in
North Carolina, and Elizabeth in Alabama.
These three Jacksons living next to each other are likely part of the same
family, despite the uncertainty of time when they moved to Alabama. Philip is
likely the son of John and Temperance, as the ages would match and he is born
in NC as the other three older children still in their household.
I have not yet found a connection to indicate they are kin to our Abraham and
his family. In 2007 I had found several genealogies that filled out the
family of Abraham Borland and his son Abraham Jasper in previous generations.
I had followed the mixed clues and included these two in my genealogy, with
Abraham Jasper as the wife of Talitha Jackson.
In October 2007, I found some other genealogies with more information. A
co-researcher on the Jackson-Green lineage, Cindy Beam in North Carolina,
found some others. It became clear that the line with Abraham Borland and
Abraham Jasper had difficult discrepancies in matching the family in Texas and
Oklahoma.
We started re-evaluation with Abraham Borland, reported to be the father of
Abraham Jasper Jackson, born in Georgia, though some say he was born in South
Carolina. Our Greens also came from Georgia, and the Carolinas before that.
Talitha Green's husband Abraham is reported born in Georgia in the 1860
census, though his daughter's 1900 census record says her father was born in
Georgia.
So the two lines may some connections, but none has been found. There were
Jackson who married Greens and some of them moved together to Arkansas from
Georgia. These Greens are from the same family. It is likely that the
Jacksons who married the Greens then moved to Arkansas are part of the same
Jackson line who moved to Texas then married Greens out there.
Other Jacksons have a lineage from Virginia. Various ones went to the two
Carolinas, then some went on westward.
One proposed mother for Abraham was Mary Polly Beavers. One genealogy gives
her husband's name as Abraham B Jackson. The son of Abraham B and Polly
Beavers is given the name of Abraham J (or Jasper) Jackson. The set of
children, however, match the other lineage of wife of Abraham Borland Jackson
and Mary Hudnall. A couple more genealogies found since have apparently
copied this one or vice versa, but I find no discussion or documentation
verifying their reconstruction. These are two separate genealogies. I have
been unable to find any connection of our Abraham Jackson with either of these
families.
-- Ancestry Trees,
http://awtc.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=*v25t1081&id=I296
Other genealogies that have Mary Polly Beavers as the wife of Abraham Jackson
father of Abraham Jackson show the elder Abe's name as Abraham M, not Abraham
B or Abraham Borland. This seems more likely to be the lineage we are looking
for.
What we can document is that Abraham Jackson is in Gainesville, Texas, and
married to Talitha/Delitha Green in 1860. Tax records in Cooke County also
seem to record his presence under the name A S Jackson and A B S Jackson in
1865 and 1866.

All the later records we find and family information puts them in Indian
Territory, not in counties of Tesas farther south. Another cousin, Kati
Jackson Cain worked with cousins Orville Boyd Jenkins and Marion Mixon to find
and analyze clues on the dark period in the Chickasaw Nation after the Civil
War. Through onsite research at the Chickasaw Cultural Center Reserch Center
she was able to find some important details, which she lines out below.
Copies of some of the documents she mentions are attached to this genealogy
and the corrolary genealogies of this research trio.
---------------------
The Chickasaw Nation issued permits to White citizens so they could work and
live in the Chickasaw Nation. We know that the Greens and Abraham and Telitha
moved in Chickasaw Nation after 1868. I have found permits for "T. Green" and
his license is issued under Francis (Colbert) Cochran, now we also know how
Daniel Green and Francis Colbert met. There's also a permit for a William
Jackson. He ended up married to a Chickasaw woman named Annie Donovan.
Here's a link to the enrollment card he shows up on:
http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?ti=0&indiv=try&db=ftworthenrollmentcards&h=66885
His father is shown as James M Jackson. And guess what? Three days later two
permits are issued for J. M. Jackson & family and A. S. Jackson and family.
A. S. Jackson matches the last tax record Abraham shows up on in Cooke County.
I think this is a pretty good start to more clues.

Betty Jackson Hess, in a letter to Linda Martin Hanks, gives the names of the
children od Abe and talitha. She mentions only 4 boys as sons of Abraham and
Talitha: Will (William D), Sam (Samuel Westfall), James (James Toliver) and
Ean (Enoch). Other family sources have the names Enoch A and Stillar. I have
found Enoch A and his family and children's family in Oklahoma and California.
Another cousin, Cindy's brother Butch Mixon, who got us all together on this
topic, helped me put together the documentation on Samuel Westfall Jackson and
his family, who moved to California in about 1915-18. Some of this family of
Jacksons and Greens are still hiding in the missing documentation of Indian
Territory.
We have some indication that Abraham and his family were living in Indian
Territory by about 1869, but we do not have clear information on which Nation.
Abe and Talitha's daughter Winnie Alice was born in Indian Territory,
according to the 1900 census in Chickasaw Nation (central and southern
Oklahoma). However, her daughter Gertie Philpot Handy's death certificate
reports that Alice was born in Wise County, Texas. Either one of these could
be based on faulty family memories. Abe's son James Toliver was born farther
south in Hill County, Texas, where other members of the Green family have
connections in that era. The family may have moved back and forth across the
Red River, as other families did.
In the 1900 Census, Alice is enumerated as the wife of Newton Philpot.

Talitha's brother Jacob Green is up north in Cherokee Nation by the 1900
census. Abraham likewise seems to be in eastern Indian Territory (Oklahoma)
by 1870, where from that year we find legal documents charging him and three
of his wife's brothers with various crimes. (It is not definite that these
are the same individuals, but indications are very similar.) The place name
Oak Lodge shows up in connection with a Joseph Jackson, who we are not sure is
part of our Jackson family. Oak Lodge is in Choctaw Nation (later LeFlore
County, Oklahoma), not far west of Fort Smith, Arkansas.
The charges and trials are in Van Buren, the government center near Fort
Smith, which was the legal court governing the "western territories:" Western
Arkansas and Indian Territory. The extent of authority and just what crimes
were charged is uncertain, but American citizens charged with crimes in parts
of Indian Territory apparently were charged in this court. The Fort Smith
jurisdiction is famous for "Hanging Judge" Parker, who tried to clean up his
part of the Wild West.
Butch Mixon, a cousin on the Green side, sent me copies of documents from the
archives of this court, now a historical landmark in Fort Smith. The archives
are indexed on the Internet and paper copies of whole case files may be
ordered. There are sources for electronic versions of these also. Mixon's
sister has discovered the documents indicating this was quite a lawless bunch,
consistent with the territory's reputation.
The documents we have found document these encounters with the law by Abraham
and his brothers-in-law Jacob, Daniel and a Tom Green I cannot identify with
our family in that generation. With so many similar names, it does lead us at
this stage to think this is the same family group. But we continue to seek
more details and background information. There is little detail on that
generation in the Green family history.
Interestingly enough, in the next generation, one of my cousins named Terry on
the other side of the family was a sheriff in Oak Lodge, Choctaw Nation, the
main town in what became LeFlore County. This is the first county across the
border in Oklahoma from Fort Smith.
There is one somewhat firm indication that Abraham Jackson died about 1879.
His son James Toliver remarked at one time to his daughter Betty Jackson Hess
that his father (Abe) had died when he (James) was about 7 years old. James
was born in 1872. Abe was not in the 1880 census with Talithat, who was
reported as a widow. A couple of careless genealogies have attached to Abe a
death record for an Abraham Jackson who died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in
1879. Our Abraham Jackson never was in Pennsylvania.

The name of Mary Polly Beavers as the mother of Abraham Jasper Jackson and
siblings seems quite well established in Jackson family sources. But some
have Abraham Jasper Jackson married to Mary Beavers, as we show here. Many
genealogies have no age for Mary (Polly) Beavers. The ages, where reported,
support that match. And his father, usually reported as Abrham Bourland
Jackson, seemws to have been married to Mary Hudnal, as reproted by most
genealogies.
It appears that an Abraham Borland Jackson and this Abraham Jasper Jackson
with very similar data have been confused with the Abraham Jackson who married
Talitha Green in Gainesville, Texas in 1860. Though the 1860 census reports
Abraham Jackson born in Alabama, I have been unable to establish any
connection with any of the Montgomery or Birmingham families of Jacksons.
I have found several genealogies that have confused at least two lines of
Jacksons in Alabama. I have worked with other Jackson researchers and done
considerable analysis on competing Jackson lines. It is possible that the
name of Talitha Green's husband was Abraham M, but I cannot confidently
identify our Abraham with that Abraham M.
October 2007: A set of genealogies on another line of Jackson appear as
another likely lineage for our family. This set of genealogies reports that
the father of Abraham (Jasper) was Abraham M, son of Edward Jackson, born
about 1755. A line of Jacksons form Baltimore and back to a separate origin
in the UK seems to have been merged with this line of Jacksons, due to the
confusion of similar names in Abraham in two generations. I will develop more
on that as I sort out the details.
There are three other Abraham B Jacksons in Montgomery in 1860, whom some
sources might confuse with Abraham Jackson who married Talitha Green. One is
a Mulatto slave owner born in 1815, another is a black man also born in 1815.
A third is Abraham Borland Jackson, who was born in Baldwin, Georgia, in 1797.
The latter was married to Martha Hudnall in 1830, and perhaps earlier to Nancy
Urquhart, in about 1822.
A genealogy in the Ancestry.com One World Tree (sm) had a different birth year
of 1797, which appears to be for a different person, Abraham Borland Jackson,
married to a different woman, also lived in Birmingham, Alabama, and born in
Baldwin, Georgia.
-- One World Tree,
http://trees.ancestry.com/owt/person.aspx?pid=179660959&st=1
The confusion of two or more Jackson lines led me to dissociate these sources
from our Abraham Jackson, whom some earlier had with a middle initial B. I
have not been able to find any record or definitive reference to our Abraham
who married Talitha Green with a middle initial at all. In October 2007, a
distant cousin and co-researcher, Cindy Mixon Beam, found a genealogy of
Jacksons that included our family, and the name of Abraham Jasper Jackson in
this was Abraham Borland Jackson. Other genealogies seem to correctly report
Abraham Borland Jackson as the husband of one of two different women, Martha
Hudnall and Martha or Nancy Urquhart, and his son Abraham Jasper Jackson,
married to Mary Polly Beavers. Some genealogies report Abraham Borland
Jackson as the husband of Mary Polly Beavers.
It appears that this line is a different line of Jacksons, winding up in the
Montgomery, Alabama area in the same generations. It appears that Abraham
Borland is in a different Jackson lineage from the Abraham who married Talitha
Green in Texas. I had earlier removed information on the Abraham Borland
family, but kept the middle name Borland, which still seemed likely at that
point. I think the children I show here are for Abraham Borland.
The other line of Jacksons mentioned above have different children, but match
our Abraham. Some of the data in the Abraham Borland lineage present
discrepancies that make it ppear this was a different person. I finally
decided there was no evidence for a middle initial of B for Abraham Jackson
who married Talitha Green in Cooke County, Texas.
The genealogies for Abraham Borland Jackson report two wives: Nancy Urquhart
and Martha Hudnall. Urquhart is a well-known name in Texas, where Irish and
Scottish names are abundant.
The other set of genealogies also shows the father of Abraham as married
twice, and also Abraham was the son of the second wife. But the wives' names
are different, being Hill and Hall, and the father is not Abraham (Borland or
otherwise) but Edward, which is a name appearing in an earlier generation in
the Abraham Borland genealogies.

It appears both these boys were born in Muskogee County, Oklahoma (Cherokee

living with her family in Cherokee Nation in 1900. Sam and Stella married in
about 1902 and are in the Muskogee area in 1900, and again in 1910, after a
period in between in Parker County, Texas.
Sam and Stella moved to Riverside, Riverside County, where Stella died in on
27 June 1919. In 1920, Alvin and his brother are enumerated with their father
who is designated as a widow. In this record, I took the Th for Thomas as the

Thanks to cousin and coresearcher Beverly Mixon Hill, I was able to get a copy
of Alvin's death certificate in December 2012. We found that the certificate
has his middle name as Theodore, which we had previously understood as Thomas.
The abbreviation Th in the 1920 census must have been meant for Theodore.
Note also that the certificate (informant his wife) states his birth place as
Texas, but other family information indicates he was born in Indian Territory.
His mother's birth state is reported here as Oklahoma, but early sources
indicate she was born in Tennessee before her family moved to Indian

Jackson was in the last battle of Appomatox Court House and was taken
prisoner, remaining so for 3 days and having for food a very small piece of
dried beef and an ear of corn. When released he was 900 miles from home and
made more than half the journey back on foot. It is said he was the last
surviving member of his company.
Married Sarah Jane Thomas in Alabama on 11/20/1866. They moved to Texas in
1874 and in 1876 moved to Milam Co., settling in Salty Comm. where they have
lived since. M/M. Jackson celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary on
11/20/1936 at the Salty Church and their 71st this past November. Mr. Jackson
was the founder of the Salty Singing Convention of Milam Co. which was
organized in 1895. He took an active part in the affairs and remained
president of the organization until 1928 when a son took his place. Besides
composing religious songs and writing poems, Mr. Jackson was a blacksmith,
carpenter, farmer, singing school teacher and superintendent of the Sunday
School.

The Mixon-Brinkley genealogy compiled by my cousin Marion Mixon reports the
main facts of Bessie Lee's life as follows.
Bessie Lee Jackson
Birth 27 JUL 1896 in Parker CO., TX, Death 14 JAN 1918 in Baylor, Texas
Parents William D Jackson 1862-1899, Eliza Jane Tate 1873-1908

Son Ruben Wyette Brinkley 1917-1982
-- Marion Mixon, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/12166079/person/-321973201
Since Bessie was born in 1896, and James Jackson did not marry Eliza Jane Tate
Jackson until 1899, Jim is not her father, but her stepfather. Family sources
indicate that Bessie and her older sister Effie, born in 1894, are the
daughters of Jackson's brother William D Jackson, the first husband of
Elizabeth Jane Tate. The family sources report he died and she married James
Toliver Jackson both about 1899.
Thus it seems the census should have reported these girls as step-daughters of
Jackson. Perhaps he had already adopted them by the time of the 1900 census.
Eliza Jane died in 1908 and in 1909 James married Lizzie Griffith, thus
Effie's stepmother, reported in the 1910 census above as the wfe of J T
Jackson.
Bessie had borne only one child, Reuben Wyette Brinkley, about 11 months
before her death in 1918.

Note that the date of burial reported on the certificate is the same as the
date of death. A curious entry occurs here. The informant for Bessie Lee's
information for the death certificate is reported as R W Brinkley, which would
seem to mean Reuben Wyette Brinkley. But this is Bessie's son, who was only
one year old at the time of her death! This must be an error for R C (Reuben
Cole) Brinkley, her husband and Reuben Wyette's father.

The Social Security Death Index reports the last residence of Betty Jackson

Details from any one source are sketchy, but a combination of factors seems to
indicate that Bobbie J Jackson was born and died the same day 14 September
1907. There are two Jackson infants' graves in the Curtis Cemetery in
Weatherford.

Wanda Cox, a relative of the Jackson family and a coresearcher with me on this
family, reported that she and a cousin obtained death records at the Parker
County courthouse on some members of this family. They found a record of
death of Eliza Tate Jackson and two of her infant children. Eliza's death
record reports she died in November 1908 and an 8-month-old daughter died a
month later, both of consumption (tuberculosis). The infant daughter is
listed in the next line after Eliza.
Here is the information as Wanda transcribed it from the death records:
Jackson, Eliza, race White, Nativity American, sex Female
age 58 (error; she was 38)
Residence Weatherford, Place of death Weatherford
Date of death Nov 30 08, Cause of death consumption
Physician L.P. Lanier, Weatherford
Date of filing Dec. 17, 1908
Jackson, Jewel, race White, Nativity American, sex Female
Age 8 months
Residence Parker County, Place of death Parker County
Date of death Dec. 27, 1908, Cause of death consumption
Physician L.P. Lanier, Weatherford
There is another death record with incomplete information, but it is of a
child who died the same day of birth. No name was reported on the Death
Record, but a filing date (no separate date of death) of 14 September 1907.
We can take this date of filing as the date of death. Here is Wanda's report
from the Death Record for this infant son, who lived 7 hours.
Wanda writes about what she and her cousin Teresa Tate Smith discovered:
"And we found a baby that died in 1907 of Atilicthsis( or something like that
can't read it) and L.P. Lanier was the same person listed as the Physician,
Surgeon, Accoucheur or Coroner, and it was filed on Sept. 14, 07 filed by
L.P.L. and the baby said not named and it was White, American, Male, and it
only lived 7 hours, Residence Weatherford, Place of death Weatherford. ...
Could this have been Bobbie J. Jackson?"
-- Wanda Tate Cox, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 11 September 2008
This correlates somewhat with information from Betty Jackson Hess, daughter of
Eliza Tate Jackson, in a letter she wrote to Linda Hanks. Betty wrote several
letters to Linda to report her memories and records of family information.
Betty says "My brother Bobbie died when he was a year old. And I had a baby
sister who died soon after mama." She gives no definite date. The death
record Wanda found reports that the infant Jewel Jackson died in December
1908. This matches Betty's report, since Eliza Jane died in November 1908.
(The unreadable day on Eliza's gravestone is filled in by the Death Record
above:
"Jackson, Eliza ... date of death Nov 30 08,"
But Betty says Bobbie was about a year old at death. Could Betty's memory
have confused one day with one year as Bobbie's age at death? Betty would
have been about 7.5 years old in September 1907, when this male infant is
reported to have lived only 7 hours. What we know from the combined sources
about these two infants otherwise seems to make sense as Bobbie being the
one-day child reported in the Death record for 1907.
The cause of death was unclear on the death record discovered by Wanda and
Teresa. Two attempts to write the name of the cause of death were marked
through. Wanda reports that the third was "Atilicthsis" or something like
that.
This is probably meant to be Atelectasis/Atelectases:
"Atelectasis is caused by a blockage of the air passages (bronchus or
bronchioles) or by pressure on the outside of the lung. ...
"In an adult, atelectasis in a small area of the lung is usually not life
threatening. The rest of the lung can make up for the collapsed area, bringing
in enough oxygen for the body to function.
"Large atelectases may be life threatening, especially in a baby or small
child, or someone who has another lung disease or illness."

It appears Colonel was his actual name.
"He was born March 30,1835. His father was Abraham Bourland Jackson and
brother to Abraham Jasper Jackson. He died May 29,1896 in Hillsboro Texas and
is buried in Chatt-Jessie Cemetery along with his wife Eugenia Augusta
Barnett. She was born June 25, 1843 in Pike Alabama and died Dec 21, 1936 in
Hillsboro Texas. Robert Lewis fell off of a wagon and died. He was injured
in the war and his face was destroyed so he wore a veil over his face until he
died. I have spoken with relatives of his in Hillsboro. He said someone
would say something about the Jacksons and they would be told to not go
sticking their noses in other family members business. Also buried there is a
son of his Colonel Warren Jackson. [No indication of Warren was found in
records or photos of this cemetery.] He was born 12-9-1861 in Alabama and
died 12-9-1931 in Alabama. He also married a Barnett by the name of Annie
Estella. She was born 12-3-1864 in Alabama and died 2-5-1959 in Alabama."
