Cricket is the subject of a (dubious) family legend in which she was supposedly
gambled away as the stakes in a poker hand by her father to a horseman named
Jacobs. Cricket is said to have honored her father's debt and married this rogue
Jacobs fellow. Margaret is then said to have gone after her husband and Jacobs
with a shotgun. The story is further embellished by noting that a Jacobs family later
would own the Triple Crown winning horse "Affirmed".

Personal letters of John Jacobs and Cricket Still Jacobs Tubbs;
JW refers to Cricket's exact birthday in a letter dated 03-19-1883,
which agrees with the month and year recorded in the 1900 census.
Cricket confirms this herself in a letter dated 05-21-1885: "I am almost
an old maid - shall be 19 Saturday". The 21st was a Thursday, so Saturday
would have been the 23rd.
