Notes for Frederick Joshua JACKSON

The following death record appears to be for this Frederick Jackson.  But I
note that his birth date is reported here as in 1867, while in the 1870 census
he was reported as 7 years old, meaning born about 1863.  His mother's name
matches, though the last name is spelled Hight, rather than Hyatt.  But his
father's name is Shadrick, while in the 1860 census, Anna Hyatt's husband was
reported as Moses A Jackson.  Some genealogies also report Shadrick as Anna's
husband, probably following similar Maynard family information.  Family names
and places often get mangled in frontier families.  Also, maybe Moses A had
another name like Shadrick/Shadrack.

But here also, the states of birth are wrong, since Celestine Maynard reports
that they were both born in Texas.  The 1860 census for Moses reports he was
born in Illinois, and the 1860 and 1870 censuses both for Anna report she was
born in Indiana.  These are the kinds of details that we see commonly
erroneous or confused when the informant is a child in law.

Notes for George Jerome JACKSON


George Jerome Jackson is normally reported in public records simply as George. 
From George's birth date we can determine that his mother is Elizabeth Jane
Tate, who died in 1908.

I have not been able to find any Texas Marriage record for his first marriage
to Addie Katherine Miller.  They married about 1923, based on the 1930 census
report that they married when Addie was 14.  Their first child, Jewel C, was
born in 1925.  In 1969, he married widow Mollie Morgan Green.  The record of
this marriage is online.

I had some difficulty finding the records of George's birth and death.  Before
finding the public record, I knew he had died before 1981.  In the obituary of
his half-brother Jimmie Lee Jackson in 1981, George is not mentioned as a
survivor.

A cousin and research partner, Wanda Cox, located the 1910 census for James
Toliver Jackson and his family.  For some reason it had been hiding from me. 
In that census George is 7.  So he was born in about 1902.  This census does
not tell us the state in which George was born, reporting his birth place only
as US, and both his parents likewise.  The 1920 census, when he was reported
as 15 years old, reports he was born in Texas.  Note that they are living in
Parker County in both these censuses.  But his obituary says he was born in
Oklahoma.  Family researchers had thought he was born in Weatherford.

On 17 April 2010, I received some family information from James Jackson, son
of George Jerome Jackson, through his cousin and mine Marion Mixon.  James
sent us copies of several old handwritten family records he had collected. 
One of these was a list of birth dates.  George Jackson is reported as born 28
November 1902, confirming that the two official records above are for our
George Jerome Jackson.

In the 1920 census, George is reported as only 15 years old, when we would
expect him to be 16 in February of 1920, if born in November 1902.

Jackson-Miller Wedding

George Jackson and Miss Addie Miller, both of Hood County, were united in
marriage by Pastor C H Ray of the North Side Baptist Church.The ceremony was
performed in the church.  The copuple standing just in front of the pulpit. 
They left immediately for their homein Hood County.
--  Weatherford Democrat, Weatherford, Parker County, Texas, date uncertain,

The Texas Death Index reports the exact date of death:
George Jackson, Death 4 Mar 1973, Parker County

There is another George Jackson in Parker County, whom I have not identified.
George Jackson, Death 20 Jun 1983 Parker County

The Texas Birth and Death Indexes record that a child was born in 1927.  This
appears to be our George and Addie, though her name is spelled Annie.  This
birth date matches later information about their daughter Idella, who is
reported in the 1930 census as 3 years old.  Interestingly, the next entry in
the Index is the birth of an unnamed infant daughter on 25 June 1927 to a G J
Jackson and Lillian Smith, also of Parker County, Texas.  I am not sure who
this couple are.

Another child was born and apparently died in infancy.  There is a birth
record for a child to George and Addie in 1929, which does not appear to be
accounted for in the 1930 census.  The Texas birth records report the birth
date of this unnamed infant as 7 July 1929.  No child of less than one year
old is recorded in their household in the April 1930 census.  I have not yet
found a death record for a matching infant.

The records indicate that George and Addie moved a lot in the next couple of
years.  In April 1930, they are enumerated in the 1930 census in Jones County,
Texas.  But in November that year they are documented in Hidalgo County,
Texas, on the Mexican border in 1933.  The Texas Death Index records that a
child was born and died on the same day, 5 Mar 1933, in the town of Donna.

In April 2010, I received through my cousin Marion Mixon details on George
Jerome Jackson's family from one of his sons, James Jackson.  James reported
the birth date for another daughter named Joan, for whom I previously lacked a
birth date.  James says she was born on 5 March 1933, the same as that given
in the Texas Birth Index for Joy Ann. They would be twins, then, it appears.

Here is James' statement about the family.  I have decided to follow James'
spelling of his brothers' and sisters' names.  Note that he indicates most of
the children died at birth.  This is probably what happened to Joy, but I have
not found a matching death record, as I have for several others.

=================================

I have not found a birth record for Joan Ruby, and James does not report a
sister by the name of Joy Ann.  There are other birth records unaccounted for
in James' list.  Further investigation confirmed Joan's birth as the same as
Joy, and I have concluded they were twins.  I have found no further
information about Joy.  I learned in June 2010 that this is the date on Joan
Ruby's gravestone in Denton County.  See Notes for George's daughters Joan
Ruby and Joy Ann.  In the 1940 census the latter is named Jo Ann.

Notice that James Edward was born in Donna, on the Mexican border.  There is a
birth record of another daughter born in 1943 in Hidalgo County, where they
lived in the early 1930s.  I have not found any information to further
enlightens us on the identity of this unnamed child.

With this information I have accounted for 10 of the 13 children James Edward
Jackson says his mode had.  James says most were born dead.  It is possible
some of the stillbirths were not recorded as births in the Texas Birth Index.

My cousin and coresearcher Marion Mixon found George's obituary in the
Weatherford library in March 2010.  This obituary, published in the
Weatherford Democrat, reports on his death and informs of his burial details. 
The wording of the obit and the reported date of death indicates this was the
Monday (5 April 1973) edition of the paper.

=================================
George J Jackson, 70, of the Old Garner Road, was dead on arrival at Campbell
Memorial hospital Sunday morning [4 March 1973].  Born in Oklahoma, Jackson
had lived in Weatherford for the past three years.  He was a retired
carpenter.

Surviving him are his widow, Mollie; one son, James Jackson of Plano; two
daughters, Mrs. Joan Clark off Carrolton and Mrs. Idella Culmer of Tulsa,
Okla.; a half brother, Jimmy Jackson of Weatherford; two sisters, Mrs. Betty
Hess of Troup and Mrs. Marie Brown of Throckmorton; two half sisters, Mrs.
Pearl Askins and Mrs. Pauline Cohron, both of Weatherford and three step
daughters, Mrs. Betty Sharp, Mrs. Maurice Tillery and Mrs. Paralee Reddell,
Weatherford; nine grandchildren and six great grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held at 10 AM Tuesday in White's Chapel of Memories

Burial will be in Hillcrest Cemetery in Dallas at 1 PM.  White's of

George's death certificate also reports he was born in Oklahoma.  I summarize

Notes for George Washington JACKSON


One genealogy reports an exact birth date for George, but gives no
documentation.  The date is 4 May 1848.  This source also gives us his full
name, making him George Washington Jackson.

http://trees.ancestry.com/pt/person.aspx?tid=5285892&pid=-1475429992

This birth date is confirmed by Pamela Black-Avitts, who found his grave in
Fairlawn Cemetery in Oklahoma City.

He is not in his mother's household in 1860.  We find 12-year-old George
living in the household of William J Estep and his wife Julia, still in Mason
County, Illinois.  I have not tried to fully document all the Estep, Norris
and Jackson relations, but I believe William is the brother of George's mother
Arminda Estep.  George's older half-brother Henry Norris, who was 15 in 1860,
is living with another Norris household whom I have not clearly identified.

In 1880 George and Frances are still in Cherokee County, Kansas, but are now
in the neighboring Mineral Township.  Living with them is a William R Norris,
age 21.  This is no doubt George's half-brother, the William Norris listed in
the household of Sylvester and Arminda in 1870, though the age does not match. 
In 1870, William was reported as 14, but here William R is 21!

Notes for J M JACKSON


In the 1930 census, J M is reported as 3 months old, which would mean he was
born in December 1929.  Some directory listings for a J M Jackson, in
Ringling, which is near other members of his famliy, reports his birth date as
in June 1929.  His birth date on his grave matches with an exact birth date of
25 June 1929.

His obituary reports he was born in Vinson, which is in Harmon County,
Oklahoma.  Harmon County is on Oklahoma's western border with the Texas
panhandle.

"Vinson is an unincorporated community in Harmon County, Oklahoma, United
States. The community was named for Henry B. Vinson, townsite owner. Although
it is unincorporated, Vinson has a post office, which was established on
August 20, 1903."

Notes for James JACKSON


From the 1860 census, James appears to be a brother of Abraham Jackson, husband
of Talitha Green.  In that census, James is in the same family group with Abe
and Talitha.  He is 2 years younger than Abe.  This family group of 3 is
further living int he same household with Moses A Jackson, age 31.

Though this census reports that Moses is born in Illinois, while we are told
Abe and James are born on Alabama, it seems likely Moses is also part of the
same family.  Form the age and same household, it would be likely that Moses
is a brother also.  The birth in a different state might indicate a stage int
he family's migration to Alabama from Illinois, before some members moved on
to Texas.

There are many Jackson lines in Texas and Indian Territory from different
origins, making it difficult to sort origins and connect family members. 
Several of us working on the Jackson-Green lines have been stymied on finding
the father of Abraham Jackson.  Some have erroneously connected Abe to another
line of Jacksons in Montgomery Alabama, in the family of Abraham B.

Notes for James A JACKSON


The Stracener Family Tree provides some basic information about James and his
family.

Birth in Indiana, Death 19 Jul 1849 in Illinois
Marriage 29 Jun 1847 McDonough, Illinois to
Rebecca Arminda Baird Estep
Birth 19 May 1829 in Sangamon, Illinois
Death 16 Jan 1916 in Cherokee, Cherokee, Kansas

--  Stracener Family,
http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/15347399/person/270009279?ssrc=&ftm=1

The date the Stracener genealogy gives for James A Jackson's death is the day
his widow married her second husband!  A death record in the 1850 census for
an Andrew Jackson seems to match the basic facts for our James A Jackson
pretty closely, but the transcription reports that Andrew Jackson died in July
1850.  This could be a transcription error (the image is not viewable on
Ancestry.com, only their transcription report).

Note that this census mortality schedules from the 1850 census record reports
he was born in Kentucky rather than Indiana (across the river).  This could
still be the same person, since state of birth often varies in reports.  The
location is the right place but without seeing the actual census, I am not
sure.

The following seems a more likely record of death for our James Jackson.  He
is younger than his wife Amanda by about two-three years.  His death is
reported in a neighboring county to McDonough where they had been married. 
His state of birth is reported as Indiana, matching other information.  The
date of death is 5 months before the recorded second married of his wife
Amanda.

Notes for James Toliver JACKSON


Linda Hanks reports the birth of James Toliver Jackson as being in Oklahoma,
but no location specified.  Butch Mixon reports the birth place as Hill
County, Texas.  The latter matches the birth place of his cousin Toliver
Jorile Green.  It makes sense that the Jacksons would have been in Hill County
with their relatives.  Hill County is not far from Parker County, where James
T and his family are well-documented.  The death certificate reports his birth
place as Hill County, Texas.

There is some indication, though not firm evidence, that James Toliver's
parents Abe and Talitha (Delitha) Green Jackson were in eastern Oklahoma in
the early 1870s.  It had seemed from the place of birth in Hill County that
they returned to Texas, though details have been difficult to document. 
Further details are needed to resolve their whereabouts.

The genealogy referenced above, and other Jackson family sources I have,
report the two children born in 1894 and 1896.  The census in 1900 reports two
children, Effie born Jan 1894 and Bessie born Jun 1896.

Family sources indicate these girls 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.

The two other people listed in the household as Boarders are also family
members.  Martha A Glanton is Eliza's sister Martha Ann Tate, who married
Frank Glanton.  Frank was her second husband, as she was widowed earlier by
her first husband Nathan Bullard, Jr.  She is again a widow in 1900.  Carley
Glanton, reported her as born in May 1899, is reported by one genealogy as
Charlie.  Martha Ann's son 7-year-old Henry Bullard is living a few houses
away with her father and step-mother, James Henry and Martha L Tate.

Lizzie Tate died in 1908.  James Toliver married again in December 1909:

At some time after the 1930 census James Toliver moved elsewhere.  James'
obituary states that he had lived in other parts of the state until 6 months
before his death, when he moved back to Weatherford.  That would have been
about October 1940.  He and LIzzie are buried in a double grave in Curtis
Cemtery, Weatherford, Parker County, Texas.

Jackson James Toliver Obituary

------------------------------------------------------
James T Jackson Dies Suddenly Friday Morning

James Tolbert [should be Toliver], age 69 years, one months and 20 days, died
suddenly Friday Morning [25 April 1941] about 11 o'clock at his home some five
miles southwest of the city.

Mr Jackson was born in Hill county, Texas, March 5, 1872.  He had lived in
other parts of the state before coming to Parker county six months ago.

Surviving are his wife and seven children as follows:  Mrs Bettie Hess, Donna,
Texas;  George Jackson, Donna; Mrs Marie Cohron and Mrs Pauline Cohron, both
of Throckmorton;  Jimmie Jackson and Mrs Pearl Askins at home; and J C
Jackson, Donna.

There are also surviving one brother, Sam Jackson of California; and one
sister, Mrs Fannie Brankley [sic] of Garner, this county.

Funeral arrangements are pending. [sic, but see next paragraph]

The funeral services were held from the Cotten-Bratten Funeral Chapel Sunday
afternoon [27 April 1941] at 1:30 o'clock, with Rev N L Roberts, pastor of the
North Side Baptist Church, officiating.  Burial took place in the Curtis
Cemetery one mile south of town.

--  The Weatherford Democrat, Weatherford, Parker, Texas, [no date or page
info included in the copy provided, seems to be Monday, 28 April 1941]
------------------------------------------------------

Some helpful family information is provdied here.  At the time of his death,
three of his children were living in Donna, Texas, on the Mexican border. 
Perhaps this is where J T was living before lhe moved back to Weatherford. 
Living in Donna were Betty Jackson Hess, George Jackson, and J C Jackson.  His
daughters Marie Jackson Cohron and Pauline Jackson Cohron were iving at
Throckmorton, Texas, at that time.

The obituary refers to Jimmie Jackson and Pearl (Jackson) Askins as "at home,"
which I take to mean in Weatherford.  This phrase may mean that they and their
parents were living together.  James' wife (oddly unnamed in the obituary) is
also reported as a survivor.  His home was five miles south of the city,
according to the obituary.  We also note that he had moved to Weatherford only
6 months before his death.

Cindy Beam had obtained a copy of Jackson's obituary from family sources.  But
the clipping did not have the name of the paper of the date of the issue.  It
appears this obituary was published in the Monday newspaper in Weatherford.  I
realized Butch had earlier sent me the Ancestry transcription summary of JT's
death information.

Correlating the info we had, here is the way I worked out the information
related to the death and burial of JT.  The only dating given in the Obit was
that Jackson had "died suddenly Friday morning about 11 o'clock."  Listings of
marriage licenses on that page (the part that shows in the scan) are dated
through 26 April.  This would be Saturday, which makes sense.  Government
offices operated on Saturdays back then.  The date of death we have from
family info is 25 April 1941.  I consulted a 1941 calendar, and determined
that in that series of dates 25 April 1941 was a Friday.

Thus I would have expected the obit to be published the next publishing day,
Sunday.  However, I notice there is an announcement that the funeral was
conducted on Sunday afternoon.  This paper must have been the Monday edition. 
That Sunday would have been 27 April 1941, which gives us the burial date!  I
notice the place of burial is Curtis Cemetery, which matches a reference by
Bettie Jackson, Jackson's daughter, that her mother and her mother's sister
were buried in Curtis Cemetery in Weatherford.

I notice an editing error in the obit.  There is a line that says:
"Funeral arrangements are pending."

This is immediately followed by the news of the funeral service which had
ALREADY BEEN CONDUCTED.  I suspect there was a first obit in the Saturday or
Sunday paper, stating that the arrangements were not finalized (Or possibly in
the Saturday paper).  This final obit is not an announcement of the funeral,
but the news that it has already been held.

This makes it likely that on Friday (night or afternoon, when the Saturday
paper had to be ready for Saturday morning release) the arrangements had not
been made.  But arrangements were finalized on Saturday (and possibly in time
for the Sunday morning paper, to let people know of the Sunday afternoon
service).  Since the obit reports the Sunday funeral as already conducted, it
is likely that this article appeared in the Monday paper.

As for the name of the paper, it seemed likely that was the Weatherford
Democrat, the current paper.  I have found no information indicating a
previous name or another paper.  Marion (Butch) Mixon, a cousin working with
me on the Jackson-Green lineages and a nephew of James Toliver, also says the
paper would be the Democrat.

This is a good circumstantial documentation of the dates:
Death  Friday, 25 April 1941
Initial obit in the Weatherford Democrat:  Saturday, 26 April or Sunday, 27
April 1941 (this accounts for the stray line saying funeral arrangements are
pending; they should have deleted this line for the Monday edition reporting
the funeral)
Funeral and burial:  Sunday, 27 April 1941
Final obit in the Weatherford Democrat:  Monday, 28 April 1941

James' obituary and death certificate report his name as James Tolbert,
although members of the family consistently understand his name to have been
Toliver, named after his grandfather Toliver Green.  We do not know how the
coroner and the paper got the wrong name.

Information on the marriage of James Toliver Jackson to Elizabeth Tate comes
from family notes and letters from Bettie Jackson to Linda Hanks.  Elizabeth
Tate married James Toliver after the death of her first husband William D
Jackson, who was James Tolliver's brother.  Copies of family letters in
possession of Linda (Martin) Hanks and Cindy (Mixon) Beam.  Information
received through Marion Butch Mixon, Cindy's brother.

A genealogy in the One World Tree on Ancestry.com had information on the
marriage and family of James and Elizabeth.  This information seems valid from
what else we know about them.

The 1900 census reports James Toliver Jackson and Eliza J Jackson with two
children born in 1894 and 1896.  The census in 1900 reports two children Effie
born Jan 1894 and Bessie born Jun 1896.  These children are the daughters of
Wiliam D Jackson, Elizabeth Tate's first husband.  Family sources report the
