Comment by Laurie Jones on August 8, 2009 at 9:11pm: I'm stuck at William Henry Jones. He was born in 14 May 1878 in Bethesda, North Wales. He married Jane Ellen Lewis (nee Griffiths) on 22 Mar 1909. Died 21 Mar 1918 in Emporia, Kansas. His widow and children moved in Canada a few years later. I was able to get a copy of his obit and it lists his father as Grififth Jones who was from Ty Newydd, Llanffewin, Anglesey, Wales. It also listed a brother Richard Griffth Jones who was born in 14 Mar 1874 in Bethesda Wales and died 11 Mar 1959 in Lebo Kansas. Richard was married to Mary Thomas and they had 7 children. William had a sister Alice who was married to Evan Hughes. Not sure if there was another sister.

Comment by Sandy on July 16, 2009 at 9:09pm: My late husbands family is double trouble. His line at his grandparents are John Smith and Ora Jones. I have traced his grandmothers line back to Thomas J Jones/Matilda M McClure. First I find them is in GA in 1850. The census records very saying both NC and SC has place of birth. Thomas served in a GA Regt during the Civil War and was captured in Vicksburg MS, and recieved a pardon. He is later found in Johnson Co AR buried in Knoxville AR. One clue I have to go on which may or may not mean anything was a neighbor living near his son J A Jack Jones in recent census records Johnson County AR Lowell Twp was a Enos Jones from Duplin Co NC. The year Jack is no longer on the census Enos and family has moved also. I think they might possibly be related.

Thomas year of birth was 1823, if anyone has Thomas J Jones in your family please let me know. Thank you
