Jackson County is located in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. As of 2000, the population was 28,439.
Its county seat is Altus. After a dispute over the Adams-Onís
Treaty of 1819, both
the governments of the United States and the state of Texas claimed ownership
of some 1,500,000 acres (6,100 km2) in what was then
operated as Greer
County, Texas.
Litigation followed, and in the case of United States v. State of Texas
162 U.S. 1 (1896), issued on
March 16, the Supreme
Court, having original jurisdiction
over the case, decided in favor of the United States. The county was then
assigned to the Oklahoma Territory on May 4, 1896. When Oklahoma became a state in 1907 the
area known as Greer County was split into the four present day Oklahoma counties
of Jackson Greer, Harmon, and part of Beckham counties. Counties that lie adjacent to Jackson
are: Greer
County (north); Kiowa
County (northeast); Tillman
County (east); Wilbarger
County, Texas (south); Hardeman
County, Texas (southwest);
and Harmon
County (west). |

It is most probable
that Asa Disbury Pinnell came from Maries County, Missouri to the area of
Oklahoma that is now Jackson County as early as 1886*, that his mother Mary
Johnson Pinnell joined him there after her husband William Lewis Pinnell
passed away in 1887. Records show
that Asa’s wife Francis Hawkins Pinnell died at Altus in 1896. It is likely that Mary Pinnell passed away
in 1907 while living in Baucum Township near Altus, Oklahoma. Asa
D. Pinnell continued to live in Baucum Township until
after 1920. He eventually move to Quay, New Mexico where he passed away in 1931. * Prior to 1896 Jackson County, Oklahoma was a part
of Greer County, Texas. In 1896 Greer
County was assigned to the Oklahoma Territory and remained in that status
until Oklahoma became a U.S. State in 1907.
In 1908 Greer County was divided into several separate counties one of
which is Jackson County, Oklahoma. |

DESCRIPTION:
Baucum Municipal Township is named for W.
R. Baucum as it was he who suggested the name of Altus for the former town of
Frazer after a 1891, a flash flood almost destroyed
Frazer. As a result residents moved two-and-one-half miles east to higher
ground and created the town now known as Altus, Oklahoma. The boundaries of Baucum Township are thus
described as commencing at the southeast corner of section 24. township 1
north, range 20 west; thence west on the section line between sections 24 and
25 of said township
to its intersection with the Salt Fork of Red River in section
34, township
1 north, range 21 west; thence up said Salt Fork of Red River
to its intersection with the township line between townships 2 and 3 north;
thence east on said township
line to its intersection with the range line between ranges 19 and 20 west; thence south
on said range line to place of beginning, except the incorporated town of
Altus. |
