Yes, there is an error somewhere. The first Stanford Jackson photo I posted (p. 102) on this thread was indeed from the same 1927 Chicago American Giants team photo as the Robert Miller photo. The original is at the Hall of Fame Library in Cooperstown. I got the Stanford Jackson identification from the 1992 book PICTORIAL NEGRO LEAGUE LEGENDS, by Robert Retort. The Jim Miller identification for the same team photo was given in the year 2000 book BLACK BASEBALL IN CHICAGO, by Larry Lester, Sammy Miller, and Dick Clark. As I indicated for the Robert Miller entry, the Seamheads.com website, which is current, uses the extraction of the photo and names the player Robert "Bob" Miller. So I think the 1992 Stanford Jackson identification is out-of-date now, and I've changed my original entry.
I've attached another image of Stanford Jackson. The quality of these images makes it difficult to do comparisons, but to my eyes, there is a difference in the ear structures between the two images on this page for Stanford Jackson and the one for Robert Miller. I could certainly be wrong about that, but I think they are two different players.
