Shared note	Joseph Leland Straley is said to have come to Lampasas County in 1856, and he continued to live there until just before his 101st birthday. (Elzner, Jonnie Ross, Relighting Lamplights, 1975, p. 284, Lampasas Public Library) He was the one who donated the land for the family cemetery and the church near it. He also gave land for the school. (Ibid., p. 44) This is the land on which the family cemetery lies. He was the brother of Andrew Jackson Straley and the brother of Emily Elizabeth Straley's father. She was a niece of Joshua Parks Sorrels step-father, Andrew Jackson Straley. Family tradition says that she was an orphan who married young (maybe 13 or 14) in order to have a home. Her mother had had asthma very badly, and they had moved in an attempt to find a place where it would not bother her. They are supposed to have gone to New Mexico and abandoned property around Temple where the stone house is where Tiney was born. (This house is in Adamsville, Texas) The Straley family cemetery is near Adamsville, near the highway. Some of this information actually seems to be doubtful, and it all needs to be verified. Emily Elizabeth Straley Sorrels Jackson had sisters who were twins - E. H. Straley and J. D. Straley born 1867. There is some indication that they may have been boys, so this needs to be confirmed. The family Bible apparently belonging to Emily Straley Jackson lists a number of Straley names which may have been her brothers and sisters. Jessie Straley (b. April 9, 1851), Sarah Straley (b. March 16, 1853), J. F. Straley (b. April 3, 1855), Emma Straley (b. Dec. 7, 1856), Mag(?) Jane Straley (b. March 19, 1859), W. L. Straley (b. Nov. 19, 1862), E. H. Straley (b. June 22, 1867-a twin), and J. D. Straley (b. June 22, 1867-a twin). Joshua Parks Sorrels is reported by the family members to have beaten her. According to these family members, Emily took refuge with her husband's sister who told her that she had to leave him for her own safety. He received custody of their four oldest children. Emily received custody of the youngest. No mention of her pregnancy was made in the court records. Joshua Sorrels later denied that the child was his and disinherited her. The youngest child was born in a rock house that can be seen along the highway in Adamsville that has a historical marker on it. She was Tiney Ethel Sorrels. Emily Elizabeth Straley married a second time. This time she married William Henry Jackson. He had been to sea, and he worked in a railroad round house when he was married according to the family. They had a son, George C. Jackson, born 4:50 PM, Dec. 9, 1897 in Temple, Texas. (He was reared by Tiney after their mother's death.) They moved to Fort Worth in 1899 according to family members. She is buried in Fort Worth, Texas and has a Woodman of the World stone. John C. Straley who met Mary Williams at the reunion of the Straley Cemetery in Adamsville and said that he was the grandson of J. F. Straley said that four brothers arrived in the area. Only two stayed. The other two traveled on to Indian Territory and later migrated to New Mexico. George C. "June" Jackson wrote Frank Williams and gave the following information in regard to her Death Certificate (No. 3323, Vol. 2, Page 147) which states that Mrs. E. E. Jackson, female, white, died January 26, 1910 at 2:00 p. m. There is no father, mother, residence, name of physician or person reporting death mentioned. The death was recorded February 7, 1910. It was certified by Betty Carter, Deputy, County Court, Tarrant County, Fort Worth, Texas 76196-0401. There are two death certificates; one appears to be a completion of the first one. She was Mrs. E. E. Jackson, born April 1864, died 26 Jan 1910 in Fort Worth, Texas, of heart trouble lasting 2 years. and a contributory cause was nephritis lasting 7 years (apparently called Brights's disease on the first certificate).
