Notes |
- The following Notes provided by Bob Mitchell:
After the separation of his mother and father, John apparently stayed with his grandmother. In letters written by James to his mother during the civil war, James asked about his 'Little Dick." According to stories told by John Franklin to family members, he was formerly a member of the Sam Bass Gang of outlaws in Texas in 1878. In February of 1878, Sam Bass was killed while attempting a robbery in Round Rock, Texas. One member of the gang escaped and was never captured; his name was Frank Jackson. If the story told by John Franklin Jackson is true, he was that Frank Jackson. After his time as an outlaw, John Franklin began a new as a Law Enforcement Officer and spent 16 years with the El Paso, Texas Police Dept. He left Texas and returned to Henderson County, Tennessee circa 1925 where he lived with relatives until he died in the Henderson County Poor House in 1931. A John Jackson was shown on the 1880 Pcnt 3, Dist 48, Ellis Co., Texas census records that match closely to John Franklin. He had a Mary living with him that was listed as his sister and a Netta E., born abt 1844, also in the household listed as his mother. He was listed as a farmer. They were living near John Franklin's sister Sarah A. who was married to James Colvin. In 1910, a John F. Jackson with wife Nettie is listed in the El Paso, Texas census. John F. lists his occupation at this time as a Foreman in an Ice Factory.
