I believe his parents were James W. JACKSON, b. 1842, Weakley Co., TN and Mary A. DAVIS?. James W. and Mary are listed in Goodspeed for Obion Co., TN. There is a very strong possibility that this family is linked by marriage to my SIMMONS family and POSSIBLY my BOON/BOONE family. 1880 Obion Co. TN Census JACKSON, J.W. 38 TN N.C. GA Mary 39 TN N.C. N.C. Elizabeth 17 TN Jeanice [sp?] 16 TN John 13 TN [Poss. married Sarah Ella SIMMONS] Sarah 11 TN George 10 TN Jef 8 TN [I believe this is James Jefferson JACKSON who may have married Dora SIMMONS, dau. of Robert SIMMONS, and is said to be the grandson of Patience KITTRELL.(See 1910 census below.) Note: Tombstone info for John W. JACKSON who married Sarah Ella SIMMONS, evidently, says b. 1860. If this was correct then the above John (age 13 in 1880) is not the right one. 1910 Obion Co.

Son 8 TN HIGGS, Curtis Adopted 8 TN KITTRELL, Patience Grandmother 74 widowed U.S. MARCUS, Charley Hired man 20 Single Farm laborer TN Note: Patience KITTRELL's maiden name MAY have been BOON/BOONE, but this is only speculation at this point. In 1920, Jeff JACKSON was living in Weakley Co. TN with wife, Dora and children, Volena, Kelmer, and Leon. Claud and Viola WITHERINGTON (poss. dau. of Jeff and Dora) were also living in the household. I'd appreciate ANY information about these people. Thanks very much. Brenda
