6. | Humphrey Jackson ![]() Notes: JACKSON, HUMPHREY (1784-1833). Humphrey Jackson, Harris County pioneer, member of Stephen F. Austin'sqv Old Three Hundred colonists, and early San Jacinto District official, was born on November 24, 1784, in Belfast, Ireland, where his father owned flour and linen mills and was a member of the Irish Parliament that was dissolved in 1801. Jackson was educated in the law and immigrated to the United States in 1808. He settled at Berwick's Bayou, Louisiana, where he operated a sugar plantation near Vermillionville and served as a private with Baker's Louisiana Militia regiment at the battle of New Orleans in 1815. Jackson had married a Miss White, who died shortly without children. On October 13, 1814, he married Sarah Merriman, his first wife's cousin, with whom he had four children. Unable to run his plantation because he chose not to own slaves, Jackson traveled to Texas in September 1823 and built a log cabin outside Austin's colony on the San Jacinto River, a half mile west of the site of present Crosby. When it was discovered that he had settled outside the colony, Jackson petitioned the Baron de Bastrop,qv who on August 16, 1824, granted him title to a league and a labor of land, including the place where he had settled, in what is now Harris County. To become a legal colonist, Jackson next petitioned the Mexican government to form the San Jacinto District under control of the Austin colony; he was elected alcalde of the new district in 1824, 1825, and 1827, and served as ex officio militia captain of the San Jacinto area. In May 1825 he was appointed deputy constable in a case involving the schooner Mary. The census of March 1826 classified him as a farmer and stock raiser, a widower with a household including one servant, three sons, and a daughter. He offered Austin his services to help put down the Fredonian Rebellionqv in 1827 and in 1828 was regidorqv of Liberty Municipality. He was also a candidate for alcalde in 1830, when Francis W. Johnsonqv was elected. Jackson was killed by a falling tree on January 18, 1833, and buried at Crosby. Jackson's Bayou in eastern Harris County is probably named for him. Humphrey married Sarah Merriman on 13 Oct 1814 in Louisiana. Sarah was born on 06 Jun 1796; died in 1823. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

41. | James Edward "Ed" Jackson ![]() Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: Ed, the sixth child, was a fun loving, adventurous youngster with an uncanny talent for craftmanship and mechanics. He married Lizzie Womble and fathered five children, Maude, Sarah May, Roger, Roy and Edward. I have childhood memories of Uncle Ed when he was rice farming on the ranch and living with his family in Galveston. He would stay at the ranch several weeks and then in Galveston a week. On every trip he brought us children a present; a large sack of lemon and peppermint sticks, a keg of gingersnaps, or best of all an entire stalk of bananas. He always brought several new stories, some for the children and some exclusive tidbits to be told only behind the barn, which was the menfolk's retreat. He told his yarns with great relish and skill, sometimes laughing so hard in expectation of the point of his story that he would need to stop and catch his breath. His skill in carpentry was known and appreciated throughout the countryside and the best expression of his talent was in the numerous sturdy and graceful boats that he built to play between Double Bayou and Galveston. While rice farming he built, and used for many years, the first disk plow. Since he did not bother to have the idea patented, it soon spread far and wide and was patented by another. My best memories of Uncle Ed relate to a time shortly before his death when my brother, Guy Cade, and I visited him armed with all the latest stories we could collect. Although he was very ill at the time, he rolled with laughter at all our tales and polished the visit off by telling a few good ones himself. James married Elizabeth "Lizzie" Helen Womble on 27 Nov 1883 in Texas. Elizabeth was born on 08 Mar 1862 in San Antonio, Bexar Co, Texas; died on 08 Jun 1939 in San Antonio, Bexar Co, Texas; was buried in Sunset Memorial Park, San Antonio, Bexar Co, Texas.
