  Joe Jackson
  Death 15 Nov 1988 Parker County
  
  Jody's grave has his birth date as Dec 3, 1939, but he is not listed with the family in the 1940 census, as he should be.  This seems to indicate he was not born until 1940.  There are several cases of this kind of error, where in later life a different year gets reported at some point.  This seems to be confirmed when we find a genealogy that does report his birth date as 3 Dec 1940.  No documentation is provided, however.
  
  All the other genealogies that have Jody, except one, also report his birth year as 1940.  Oddly, no record of birth has been found inthe Texas Birth Index.
