Bill

b. 25 October 1862
  • Bill was born on 25 October 1862 in Montgomery County, Texas, at Greenwood plantation near old Danville.
  • Following emancipation, Bill adopted the name William Jackson although he appears in the 1870 census as Bill Wood..
  • John and Harriet appeared in the US federal census of 1 June 1870 in Montgomery County, Texas, and it is an educated guess that "Dan" is actually the son of John and Rachel, and daughter "Martha" is actually son March.. Other members of the household included Bill, Milly, Candace, David, March, Mandy Jackson, Fanny Jackson and Solomon Jackson.
  • John and Harriet appeared in the US federal census of 1 June 1880 in Montgomery County, Alabama. Other members of the household included Bill, Mandy Jackson and Solomon Jackson.
  • Bill was doing farm work, according to the 1880 census.
  • Children of Harriet born between 1851 and 1862, were recorded by Green Wood. Although they are all listed as children of Ned and Harriet, since Ned died in April 1858, the listing clearly is in error.
