I'm sure we will all be interested in the transcription but of course it may only contain what her mother told her.   

A possibility - Jack may have been a nickname   Perhaps this has been looked at previously.

cupcake.....genealogy is not an exact science.  One must use a bit of commonsense and allow for variations in names etc.  Oral history is usually full of inaccuraces.
