Since Effie was born in 1894, and James Jackson did not marry Eliza Jane Tate Jackson until 1899, Jim is not her father, but her stepfather. Family sources indicate that Effie and her younger sister Bessie Liee, born in 1896, are the daughters of Jackson's brother William D Jackson, the first husband of Elizabeth Jane Tate. The family sources report he died and she married James Toliver Jackson both about 1899.
Thus it seems the census should have reported these girls as step-daughters of Jackson. Perhaps he had already adopted them by the time of the 1900 census.
Eliza Jane died in 1908 and in 1909 James married Lizzie Griffith, thus Effie's stepmother, reported in the 1910 census above as the wfe of J T Jackson.
