The scope of the photo section of this website
is normally limited to pictures of the descendants of Hiram A.
McAdams. However, there are times when the historical
significance of a photo merits its inclusion. This is a picture
of Jane Evalina McAdams. She was the 9th child of John McAdams,
Sr., the sister of John McAdams, Jr. and the aunt of Hiram A.
McAdams. Jane Evalina was born on 2 Oct 1820 in Tuscaloosa,
Alabama and died in Nov 1906 in Cherokee County, Texas. She
married Jackson Smith abt. 1837 in Shelby County, Texas.

Jackson Smith. By 1847 Jackson settled the
family in what is now Cherokee Co. Jackson came to Texas from
Illinois in time to serve in the Revolution in Capt. Burriet's
Co. of Gen. Thomas J. Rusk's Brigade and he claimed to have
guarded Santa Ana after the Battle of San Jacinto. In 1838
Jackson scouted for Gen. Rusk when troops were sent to Cherokee
Co. following the Killough Massacre in which 17 people were
killed, supposedly by Indians. During this service Jackson
located land on Gum Creek where he later settled. It was a
portion of this land that he set aside to establish the town of
Jacksonville. He ran a blacksmith's shop there. During the Civil
War Jackson joined Confederate forces for four years of service.
He was a Master Mason and the family attended the Methodist
Church. In 1987 a Texas Historical Commission marker was placed
on his grave to honor him as the founder of the town. A tragic
accident in 1870 claimed the life of Jackson and Evalina's son,
Bill. A circus -troop was performing in Jacksonville when a
disturbance broke out between some of the performers and local
people. Federal troops were called in and they captured and
killed a murderer. In the confusion Bill Smith was accidentally
shot as he was riding out of town on his horse. He was probably
buried in the Smith Family Cemetery which can not now be
located. Photo courtesy of Audrie Rogers September 2007 |
