Notes

  • She is listed in the 1930 census of Parker County, Texas, lists her as Lizzie Jackson.  Since Lizzie is one nickname for Elizabeth, I have listed her here under the full name.  Various family sources know her as Lizzie.  Even her death certificate has her name as Lizzie Jackson.  The informant for the information on her death certificate was her son Jimmy.

    One anonymous genealogy comments that "Lizzie was Jim's third wife."  I have been able to find no information on another wife, other than Lizzie Griffith and Elizabeth Tate.

    One genealogy constructed by a Jackson descendant reports the name of Lizzie Griffith as Lizzie Campbell.  [Personal communication from James Jackson to Marion Mixon, April 2010]  Perhaps the first wife, before, Eliza Jane Tate, was named Campbell and this name became confused with Lizzie Griffith's in that family's oral tradition.  The name and details about Lizzie Griffith are well documented in the research I have done in cooperation with several Jackson cousins since 2007.

    Her Death Certificate, which I finally obtained in June 2010, clarifies her parents' names, as well as confirming many other details.
