Notes |
- Alva Mead Jackson was born on June 8, 1916, in Boulder, Colorado. He was the eldest of two children born to John Alva Jackson and Alice Thomas Jackson. His father was the second of two generation of miners who worked in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains until October 1918, when the Spanish Influenza pandemic took the both him and his wife within two days of each other in Laramie, Wyoming.
His father, John Alva Jackson, was born April 17, 1895, in Kansas, the youngest of seven children of the westward traveling Burrel Andrew Jackson and Sarah Alice Barker Jackson. The Jackson family had passed through Indiana in the early 1800s, and during that period became very strong supporters of President Andrew Jackson. Indeed, after Burrel, it was rumored that the Jackson family had in fact descended from the president. This, of course, was impossible as President Jackson had sired no children himself ? he merely acted as guardian for nine children related to his wife Rachel and a family friend named Edward Butler. Most likely, the rumor started when one of John Alva?s sisters would jokingly describe herself as a ?daughter of Andrew Jackson? (more accurately, Burrel ?Andrew? Jackson).
