Notes

John appears in several genealogies and records simply as John W Jackson. A descendant has reported that John W's full name was John Wesley.

"Enoch is my great, great grandfather. Enoch & Mary's 2nd oldest son, John Wesley Jackson (My father says that his granny (Vida Hembree) always told them grandpa (John Wesley Jackson) was named after the outlaw John Wesley Harding), was married to Vida Hembree."

John's parents are both reported as born in Mississippi, but the location and other data appear to be John W, and the wife is correct for Emma Vida Hembree.

"John W Jackson ... is actually buried in Simon Cemetery in Love County Okla which is not too far from Oswalt. He died 12-6-1936 and his wife Vida Emma Hembree Jackson and a child who lived one day is also buried there."
