Dr. Jackson Nunez had an impact on two Emanuel County communities. A short informal history provided by Mildred (Youngblood) Moore indicates that the citizens of Nunez wished to honor Dr. Nunez, "...who as a Physician [sic] had done much good here...", by naming their community after him. When it was ruled by the U. S. Government [sic] that this couldn't be done because Dr. Nunez was still living, Dr. Nunez was sent to Washington to lobby [successfully] for naming the community after his grandfather, Dr. Samuel Nunez. Dr. Samuel Nunez was an early settler of Savannah, having come from Lisbon, Portugal by way of London, England.

Dr. Jackson Nunez was an early settler of the Big Ohoopee Bridge Community where he operated a drug store and print shop. He started a house for his family, but did not complete it, later selling it and purchasing the Watt home. "In the early morning about one o'clock [no date given]", a fire was discovered in Dr. Nunez's business, "and there was much excitement, since the only fire-fighting equipment was the bucket brigade using the water from the Big Ohoopee river." Several businesses (including Dr. Nunez's) were destroyed. The 1954 narrator of this history (Miss Lizzie Durden) also tells of election day in this community:

"On voting days the blinds in all of the residents [sic] were closed and women and children were not allowed out until the voting was over. There was much peeping going on. On one occasion you could see a group of turpentine Negroes from Blackville congregated on the other side of the Big Ohoopee river [sic] bridge waiting in line to be brought across by their employer to vote. Some of the men changed their apparel, which allowed them to vote twice."

In the 1890's this community was named Norristown in honor of Norris Durden, son of Jasper William Durden.
