• 1910 Federal Census, Nash, Muskogee, Oklahoma, 2 May, District 107, Page 14A,  Hse/Fam #107
  Jackson, Sam Head  M W 36 OK TX GA  Farmer
  Jackson, Stella Wife  F W 26 TN TN AL
  Jackson, Alvin  Son  M W  6 OK OK TN [b abt 1904]
  Jackson, William   Son M W  11mos  OK OK TN [b abt April 1909]
  
  It appears both these boys were born in Muskogee County, Oklahoma (Cherokee Nation in 1904), based on the residence of the family at the time.  Stella was living with her family in Cherokee Nation in 1900.  Sam and Stella married in about 1902 and are in the Muskogee area in 1900, and again in 1910, after a period in between in Parker County, Texas.
  
  Sam and Stella moved to Riverside, Riverside County, where Stella died in on 27 June 1919.  In 1920, Alvin and his brother are enumerated with their father who is designated as a widow.  In this record, I took the Th for Thomas as the middle name.

  Thanks to cousin and coresearcher Beverly Mixon Hill, I was able to get a copy of Alvin's death certificate in December 2012.  We found that the certificate has his middle name as Theodore, which we had previously understood as Thomas.  The abbreviation Th in the 1920 census must have been meant for Theodore.  Note also that the certificate (informant his wife) states his birth place as Texas, but other family information indicates he was born in Indian Territory.  His mother's birth state is reported here as Oklahoma, but early sources indicate she was born in Tennessee before her family moved to Indian Territory.
