   My name is Timothy Leon Jackson,   
   I live in Mesquite Texas.   
   We had a prtrate of my Great Grandfather Frank Jackson and looked behind it,we   
   found some silver dollars dated 1872-1878. Pretty neat peice of History there.    
   Our folks come from just outside of Atlanta where there were only 2 families   
   of Jackson befor the civil war. Our family was one of them. There was also a   
   peice of property in town during the same time that The bass gang rob the   
   train depot in Mesquite    
   that had the tallest structure for miles and miles around.    
   It is saud that my family once owned this property. They where also said to   
   have accomidated the James/Youngers when they rode into North east Texas.    
   Since it had the tallest structure you could see the Laws comming. Wonder if   
   we were kin. And of course our family were southern sympathizers.
