Joshua married Mary Eliza "Lizzie" Jacks. Mary (daughter of Jesse Andrew Jacks and Stella Mays) was born on 22 Feb 1901 in Sabine County, Texas; died on 22 May 1971 in Jasper County, Texas; was buried in Lott Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

On his FindAGrave memorial page, created by Steve Carter and maintained by Cindy Lott it was noted that "Andrew Jackson Lott was born to Nathan Lott and Dicy Lott Lott in Covington Co., Mississippi. around 1870 they moved to Vernon Parish Louisiana, where Fort Polk Military Base presently is. Andrew and some of the Lott family then moved to Texas. Some settled in Sabine Co and some in Newton Co. Texas. Andrew married Julia D. Jones."

There is also a scan of his Texas Death Certificate. Date of birth on this certificate is shown as 8-14-1861 (vs. 1862). Father is lsited as Nathan Lott, but mother is listed as Julia Jones (sic). His wife is listed as Julia Lott. It appears that the information on wife and mother was conflated. He was shown as dying on Bronson, Texas, where he had lived for 48 years.

Andrew married Julia D. Jones. Julia was born about 1866; died about 1953 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Lott Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

His date of birth in the book Sabine County Historical Sketches and Genealogical Records is shown as 28 Mar 1868. This is also the date shown on FindAGrave, and his Texas Death Certificate. Census records indicate he may have actually been born between 1872-1874.

Jesse married Stella Mays about 1896. Stella (daughter of George Washington Mays and Mary Elizabeth Iles) was born in Sep 1877 in Sabine County, Texas; died in Sep 1936; was buried in Lott Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

White and Toole show that she died ca 1935. Could she have actually died before 1910? Her husband, Jesse Jacks, is listed as widowed as of the 1910 census, married in 1920 but without Stella in the home, and widowed in 1930. They may have simply seperated, as they share a double gravemarker at the Lott Cemetery, and her date of death on this is shown as Sept. 1936.
