According to the 1870 Census for Van Zandt County, Texas, William was married to Nancy who was born about 1836 in Tennessee. Known children are Thomas J. Jackson, born about 1850 in Illinois, Clarinda Jackson, born about 1852 in Texas, and Andrew Joseph Jackson born February 17, 1857 in Texas. Andrew Joseph Jackson died September 12, 1919 in Hastings, Oklahoma. The 1880 Census for Collin County, Texas shows William's wife, Nancy, as a widow living with her son, Andrew Joseph Jackson, in Collin County, Texas. William is believed to have died in Texas. Any information on William Jackson and his family would be greatly appreciated.
