See mention of Carl in his father's briographical notes. And Carl, a son, is found in the 1900 census record. But when checking for birth records, we find that Benton and Josephine had a child born 15 Oct 1883 which was recorded as a female named Cora. So somewhere there was a mis-communication concerning this birth.

American Descendants of Lawrence Pearson, page 405: He graduated from Washington and Lee University. After graduation he practiced law in Washington, D.C. Afterward he returned to Clarksburg, where he was for two years engaged in the practice of law and in managing his wife's estate. Then he went to Nevada, Missouri where he practiced law in partnership with Senator Burton until his death.****
From the Jackson Brigade website: http://www.eg.bucknell.edu/~hyde/jackson/Death of Meigs Jackson
The sad intelligence of the death of Meigs Jackson reached Clarksburg, on Thursday. He died at his residence in Nevada, Missouri, on Wednesday evening, 22d inst., of pneumonia. Meigs Jackson was born in Clarksburg in 1843 and was the son of the late Maj. James M. and Mrs. Caroline Jackson. When he grew up he studied law and commenced the practice of his profession in Washington City in 1864. In 1865 he returned to Clarksburg and associated himself with Hon. C. S. Lewis, and soon obtained a lucrative practice. In 1869 he removed to Nevada, Missouri, where he soon attained distinction at the bar. Shortly after he settled in Missouri he returned to Clarksburg and married an estimable young lady of this place, who accompanied him to his new home. In the autumn of 1874 he returned with his family to Clarksburg and remained until October, 1875, when he and his family returned to Missouri. Mr. Jackson was a genial, war hearted gentleman who made friends of all with whom he came in contact. He had fine legal and literary attainments. His personal integrity was of the highest order. His industry was very great, and he was fast rising to distinguished eminence as a jurist. He was the grandson of Hon. J. G. Jackson, who became so distinguished in the early history of Clarksburg. He leaves a wife and one little son, and mother, brother and sister, and numerous other relatives and friends to mourn his death. He was well known and well beloved by all our citizens. (source unknown, pr. Clarksburg, Exponent)

“Remains of Meigs Jackson arrived on Saturday last from his late home in Nevada, Missouri accompanied by his wife, little son and his brother, T. Moore Jackson, who met them at Cincinnati. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev.
