• Notes

  Apparently the two families were sharing a household in 1860; J. R. Baker was #117 and the Jackson child on next page was also #117. James W Jackson and Jacob Rushing Baker were brothers-in-law. 1860 Census Precinct 10, Lamar Co., Texas Pg 17, P. O. Paris J. R. Baker 30 M Farmer noRE 200ps TN Jacob Rushing Baker R.

Jackson 2 M TX must have misread census, this is Thomas A. abt 1858 The following 1880 census is the only 1880 census I've found for James W. that could be the right one but I can't be sure because of the wife's name and difference between their ages. If this is the right one, these children should be listed on an 1870 census; but I can't find any 1870 census for this couple. 1880 Census Dist 121, Precinct 3, Montague Co., Texas Jackson, James W.

W F 4 dau single TX TN TN This census is on the same page and within 3 households of John and Ann's son John. Since dau Alice B. is definitely tied to James and Annie by them living with her in the 1900 census; I feel sure this is the right census for James and Annie. Lacking the 1870 census, this also is the only record I've found for Thadius, Charles, Louise, Melvina and Joseph. The inclusion of these children brings the number of children for James and Ann up to 11. On the 1900 census, Ann said she had borne 12 children. 1900 Census Dist 135, Justice Precinct 6, Hunt Co., Texas Smith, William F. head W M Sept 1865 34 M6 KY VA KY Smith, Alice B. wife W F May 1876 24 M6 3ch/ 1 lvg TX TN TN Smith, Carl son W M Mch 1896 4 S TX KY TX Jackson, James father-in-law W M Nov 1830 69 M49yrs TN NC TN Jackson, Ann mother-in-law W F Feb 1832 68 M49yrs 12ch/ 5 lvg TN TN TN 1910 Census Dist 173, Bowie Ward 3, Montaque Co., Texas (Justice Precinct 4) Jackson, John W. head M W 53 M1 for 32yrs TN TN TN RIN 10678 Jackson, Darthula D. wife F W 50 M1 for 32 yrs 6ch/ 2 lvg NC NC NC new Smith, Carl nephew M W 15 S TX KY TX Smith, Moss A. nephew M W 9 S TX KY TX (indexed as Moosa) Watson, Myrtle D. dau F W 23 M1 for 5yrs 2ch/ 1 lvg TX TN NC Jackson, Gladice dau F W 18 S TX TN NC Jackson, James W. father M W 78 M1 for 60yrs TN TN TN Jackson, Ann mother F W 77 M1 for 60yrs 12ch/ 2 lvg TN TN TN Watson, Harry G. grand-son M W 4 S TX AL TX Watson, Jud T. son-in-law M W 26 M1 for5yrs AL TN AL Myrtle's husband In this 1910 census Ann says she has had 12 children. So there is one that I haven't found yet. When his sister Catherine and later her husband Jesse Jackson died, James became the guardian of Catherine's children. Jesse had remarried but both Jesse and his second wife died in an epidemic, so James took Catherine's 4 children. But he didn't take the 3 children of Jesse and his second wife. 29 Nov 1872- James W. Jackson vs Minor heirs of Jesse Jackson: James C. 17, Mary E. 16, John E. 13, Elisha W. 11. To appoint James W. Jackson guardian; there were no objections. Prob.
