J. died on 16 January 1904 at the age of 77 at the family homeplace located 3-5 miles from Bryantsburg (now known as Hebron, TN). He was buried 17 January 1904 at Stanley Cemetery, Hardeman County, Tennessee. Thomas Jefferson Jackson was educated, as were his children, a lumberman and logger by trade, owning a saw mill as well as a sorghum mill on Porter's Creek, both in Hardeman County. The sorghum mill ground the sorghum, with the juice used in molasses, and the remains as a food supplement for cattle for its sweetness. T. J. built his log cabin not too far from Porter's Creek - -approx. 100 yards from the house was the dense hardwood forest. Family stories have been handed down for generations through descendants contacted (from Tennessee and Texas, that Thomas Jefferson Jackson was 1/2 Native American with his mother being full blood Native American (told by some as being CHEROKEE)..... .... THOMAS JEFFERSON "T. J." JACKSON was born on 3 February 1826 in North Carolina or Tennessee. He married Martha "Patsy" Allen, daughter of Duke Allen and Sarah "Sally" Langford, in March 1844 at Gainesboro, Jackson County, Tennessee. According to his obituary, he was raised in Middle Tennessee.... Information from web-site http://www.gonetotexas.com/tom.htm Infromation from website: http://www.gonetotexas.com/tom.htm Duke Allen Jackson was born on 1 April 1850 Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tennessee. He married Mary Elizabeth "Molly" Bishop, daughter of Alvin E. Bishop and Mary Jane Cox on 1 October 1873 in West Tennessee, 18 miles from Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tennessee. After moving to Texas in the late 1870s, he and his family had to stop at Granbury, Hood County, Texas for the birth of his first born son, Willoughby "Willibie" Allen Jackson. Less than a year later, he and his family were settled at "The Gap", which later became known as Santa Anna, in Coleman County, Texas. Duke Allen Jackson was instrumental in the founding of the first public school within the area. By 1888, he had purchased land in Brown County (adjacent to Coleman County) and settled in what was called Bangs, Texas - 15 miles from Santa Anna..... It was at Bangs, Texas where he and his family lived through an experience with what was known as "The Bangs Cyclone of 31 March 1892" - all of the children of Duke Allen remember living in the dirt floor log cabins at the base of the Santa Anna Mountain then called "The Gap" and at Bangs and especially remember their terrifying experience with the cyclone. Below is how three of Duke Allen's children recounted the disaster, the first by Kittie, Willoughby Allen and then by Mary Lula: When Molly and Duke lived in Bangs a cyclone hit one night just as they were going to bed. All the family was in bed except Duke, Ophelia, and one of the boys. There was a deafening roar, but since they lived near a railroad track they thought at first that it was a train. When the roaring became even louder, the father opened the door to see what it was. He closed the door quickly, but was lifted up, door and all over the wall with the doorknob still in his hand. "Molly" saw him clearly being lifted up and away. He landed in the orchard little the worse for the flight. The son had removed one boot and was also lifted up and blown into the orchard. As soon as he landed, a plow landed right beside him. He had to show the family his landing tracks beside the plow before they would believe the plow had landed so close to him. Ophelia was blown into the yard. When they found her, she was draped over two logs and her head was caved in at the back as if one of the logs had hit her. As the father landed in the orchard, he could see the bedclothes flying over and thought it was his children in their nightclothes being taken away. The rest of the family were left in their beds on the floor, but the remainder of the house was completely gone. Some logs pinned Minnie, Mittie, and another in their beds, but did them no hard.... Duke Allen Jackson died of cancer on 21 July 1929 at Brownwood, Brown County, Texas at the age of 79. He was buried at Mukewater Cemetery, Bangs, Brown County, Texas. Mary Elizabeth "Molly" Bishop Jackson died 5 Feb 1932 at Brownwood, Brown County, Texas, and is buried along side her husband at Mukewater Cemetery at Bangs, Brown County, Texas. Stories told by one of his g.g.grandsons in Texas, and remembered also being told in Tennessee by one of Thomas Jefferson, Jr.'s brothers. Wines Dallas Jackson, g.g.grandsons: During the civil war Tennessee was divided in allegiance. Thomas Jefferson, Jr was out on the family farm when Union troops came upon him, and for some reason they took the young boy to be a confederate. The Union troops told Thomas Jefferson that they would give him a chance - they told him to run to the fence on the property, and they would not shoot if he made it over the fence. He made it to the fence - but not over - as he was going over, they shot, hitting him in the leg, he made it seem as if he had been hit in the head by covering his head with his hands. The wound resulted in a lifetime crippling injury. Once over the fence, he rolled down the embankment and lay still. Upon inspection by the troops, they decided they had indeed killed him and went about their way. More About THOMAS JEFFERSON JACKSON: Burial: Hardeman County, TN 11. vi. RUFUS WILEY ALLEN SR., b.
