The brackets are on the original image which probably means these 16 years olds were twins.

From the research of Reginia Jackson Gerspacher:
"August 26, 1861, James enlisted as a private in the 9th Brigade Texas Militia under Captain R. C. Bryan. There is no record of the 9th Brigade Texas Militia ever having seen any military action. August 1, 1862, James enlisted as a private in Company C, 1st Battalion Texas Sharp Shooters of the Confederate States Army under Major James Burnett. The Texas Sharp Shooters were part of the S. B. Maxey Brigade of Texas Infantry Volunteers commanded by Major James Burnett and called into service of the Confederate States in the Provisional Army."

Janie: Now we come to the 1860 mystery of the two James Jacksons living side by side in Lamar County Texas, both nearly the same age. Some sleuthing around turned up a Jackson researcher who has been researching these Jacksons for years - and doesn't use the Internet. This is Barbara Crumpton who has been able to untangle these families for us.

Barbara tells me that James F. s/o Hugh, married Mary Piland and had 7 children between 1859 and the time she died in 1869.
Meanwhile in the next household, Rebecca Baker Jackson's husband, James had died a bit earlier, leaving her with 4 young children.
So James F. and Rebecca married and merged their families and went on to have 2 more children together. This story cannot be pieced together just with census records and therefore many authors of online charts have not been able to determine which child belonged to which mother. So Rachel did raise Mary's children. And we are indebted to Barbara Crumpton for this good information.
