My Gr Grandfather, James Jakes(b. 1857) was not yet married and was boarding with the Armstrong family in 1880 in Dist 1 of Bedford Co TN which contains Fairfield.

This Uncle James Jakes(b. 1825) had been living in Coffee Co TN in the previous census years. However, in 1880, he too is in Dist 1 of Bedford Co TN with his family.

Nothing conclusive so far. Could be either of them. Records of the US Circuit Court Middle District of TN for the April 1880 Term would be where I'd need to check. Surely he would have had to give identification. The age would be the telling factor. Better yet, if for some reason he could not serve.there would be more paperwork no doubt. Now to see if I can locate where any of those records would be housed, if there is access to them and record of those called to serve.
