60 SIXTY YEARS IN TEXAS.
wife died in Dallas at the residence of her daughter,
Mrs. Fanny Furneaux, in May, 1894. These old
people left four sons and three daughters, each of
whom raised families. So numerous has the Jackson
family and their immediate connections become
that it occurred to Capt. William Jackson, the second
son, to hold a general reunion at the residence of
his brother, John. Capt. Jackson has for a good
many years lived at Waggoner, I. T. Last April he
came on a visit to his relatives and old home in
Dallas County, and while here suggested the present
three days reunion. The idea was evidently a
popular one, for the meeting was a grand success.
It is strikingly evident that there is not the least
danger of the Jackson family becoming extinct in
the Southwest."
The Dallas News of that date gives the names
of all. I will state that there are now twenty
families of Jacksons of the descendants of John and
Mary Jackson, and thirteen families of the girls and
their descendants that have had their names
changed, making a total of thirty-three families to
date.
