Rae,
Mom and I have been reading queries, and ran across two which you posted (pertaining to Jones in MO.). My Mom is the daughter of Lonnie Thomas Jones b.Feb. 18, 1893- MO. We have began our searches thru the many Jones' and info is not readily available.
My Mom has info from Grandpa which may help you (most from Aunt Alice) (would be interested in knowing if you are interested in sharing more of your info, you could post or send to my email)?-
Mom's info says that Sarah was born in Illinois, Logan County. This is on her obituary. We have been unable to find census' with them on it, how did you find that they came from Kentucky, by using census'?

Mom also has a list of Aunt Alice's children. Also marriages of some of Grandpa's siblings--and some obituary clippings, and other odds and ends info. If you would like to exchange info--please email me.
Are you related to Laura Bell? Am interested in how you are (if you are) related.
Thank you for your time.
Debbie

Dear Debbie....I've finally found family!! ...I've been looking for relatives for a long time now. Laura Belle is my Great Grandmother. Her son, Teddy Ridgway, was my Grandfather and his daughter, Carol Trine, is my Mother. I'm so happy that I've finally made contact with part of the Jones family. I've done some research on the census records and even found the WWI registration card for Harrison Jones, but not much more. In fact, when Laura and her husband, Louis Ridgway, moved from Missouri to Indiana.....not much was ever said about Laura Bell's family. I knew there were twin brothers at one time, but that was about it. I would love to share my information with you. You can email me directly to raisy36@ameritech.net if you like. Look forward to hearing from you again.
Rae

Dear Rae,
Am thrilled to hear from you and to find that we are related. Have sent email, but forgot to tell you, we have Sarah Ellen Lucas Jones as the daughter of J. R. Lucas. Have no clue what the J. R. could stand for though? I've had little luck finding them in Illinois. This is info that Grandpa had. Read your emails and wanted you to know this. May not be right, but it would conflict with Abraham...
Take care!
Debbie

Dear Rae,
Just reread Sarah's obituary. Her parents are not listed in it. And the only sibling is really not much help. Has no first name listed. Just says ; one sister, Mrs. Harvey, of Clinton, MO.
She passed away June 14, 1933 (Mom thinks she passed away in KS). (born- February 27, 1859) Funeral service held at home of daughter, Mrs. Robert Smith, Appleton City, MO.
Hope this is something new for your info.
KS Cuz,
Debbie

How exciting, I would love to share information with you. I am the daughter of Robert Wesley Jones, b. 20 Jan 1900. I know very little about the Jones family, but did know 2 of Aunt Ocie's daughters and saw Uncle Lonnie and Uncle Pete a few times. Would love to hear from you.
Sarah

Sarah,
I would love to share info with you. I have not found anyone down your line before.
Please email me at dhegwald@yahoo . com and I will write back as soon as I am able to get back on......How exciting!!
Debbie

Thanks for your reply. I will do that.
