Descendants of Jabez Baxter Banks are invited to our third biennial family reunion in Springtown, (Parker county,) Texas. The reunion will be held on 28 April 2007. Bring photo albums and some stories to tell. We have a potluck lunch together, an auction of family memorabilia is held, and a big family tree lines the walls to show how everyone is related. Tea, ice, and paper plates are furnished by the planning committee. Bring enough food for your family and we'll share whatever is brought -- snacks, meats, vegetables, salads, and desserts. For more information contact Mary Tatum at mtaylor@dallasisd.org.
Jabez Baxter Banks:
b. 7 December 1825 in Lauderdale, Alabama
m. 1846 in Benton, Arkansas
d. 14 April 1910 in Sprindale, Washington, Arkansas
After opening the door to his home, Jabez Baxter Banks was shot in the head. He was attacked and his home was burnt to the ground for refusing to fight in the Civil War. Left for dead, he miraculously survived but bore the scar of his gunshot wound in his forehead forever after. He went on to become (what is now known as) a Bureau of Indian Affairs officer. He bore ten children.
