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.

Notes:

His grave marker reads EDD WOOD, 1873-1917, Gone But Not Forgotten

Notes:

At one time he owned the land where the Jasper County Court House now stands. (White and Toole, p 72).

From FindAGrave:

Thomas E. Wood, Sr. was the son of Charles A. Wood and Elizabeth Muse. His middle name was probably "Edwin" since he is listed by that name in the 1850 census and "Edwine" in the 1860 census. His son, Thomas E. Wood, Jr. went by "Edd."

He married Nancy Meigs Sep 28, 1865 in Jasper Co, TX. They were the parents of four children.

Thomas E. Wood, Sr. died in 1877 at the age of 33 years, leaving his wife, age 29, with four young children to care for. Nancy married second William Wesley "Wes" Dalley on Sep 20, 1879 in Sabine Co, TX. Nancy Dalley is buried in Brookeland Cemetery, Brookeland, Sabine Co, TX.

It is not known where Thomas E. Wood, Sr. is buried. He could be here in the Wood Cemetery near other family members in one of the many unmarked graves, or he could be buried elsewhere in San Augustine or Sabine County. This beautiful spot on the shore of present-day Lake Sam Raburn is a fitting place to honor his short life.

Notes:

Notes:

Said to be a son of Matthew CARRICO and Rachel WILKERSON.

White and Toole write "Matthew Carrico... Received a land grant of 640 acres of land for services in the Tex. Rev. at Goliad...Rachel Wilkerson's (father)...James Wilkerson, received a grant in Bexar County for services in Capt. Teal's company during the Texas Revolution. James Wilkerson was a Texas Ranger and Indian fighter under Capt. Mabbitt of Shelby County, receiving his last pay for this service in 1852 at old Fort Houston. (White and Toole, p 72).

However, Nell Carrico Denova emailed that "Although Rachael Wilkerson Carrico's father, listed in the White and Toole book, "Sabine County Historical Sketches and Genealogical Records", is shown as being James Wilkerson, I still can't find anything on him, in the Texas Revolution or his army papers, or Texas Ranger, or anything. I'm not able to find out who his wife--Rachel's mother--was either.Rachael. My sister, Fran and I have made several trips to Panola, but never one to Sabine, but we need to find some of the family that is living, and ask if any of them may know who Rachel's mother was, or if in fact, James was her father, and not a DAVID Wilkinson.

William married Mary Charlotte Gary. Mary was born on 11 Jul 1850 in Texas; died on 5 Jun 1926 in Texas; was buried in Wood Cemetery, San Augustine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The daughter of James Henry Gary, who was brother of Govy Gary, the grand-father of W.R. Gary who was Supt. of Pineland Schools for a number of years before moving to Beaumont. (White and Toole, p 72). Virgie Speights writes that Mary Gary's father John Henry Gary, was born in Alabama and came to Texas with his brothers, Govey and Ike.

The transcription of her tombstone instead has her year of birth as 1852.
