Hello, I am trying to find information on John Jackson Mays, who died in Pocahontas,Randolph Co., AR in 1899. He was a member of the Masons (from an old photo of him wearing a sash with a Masonic pendant, holding a Masonic sceptor) at one time. Later he married Mary Ellen Frederick Pond, a young widow with 2 children. They had 3 more children, including my grandmother Lillie May Mays. Does anyone know if there is anywhere I could look for a list of members of the Masons from the 1860's to the 1880's? Also, is there a cemetery for Masons in the Randolph Co. area? I haven't located his grave yet. His wife remarried again after his death to a William Nevins and is herself buried in Fritts Cemetery in Madison Co. Also looking for info on Jones. Mary Ellen's mother was Christina Jones who listed her age as 31 on her marriage license (she was married Nov. 13, 1863 in Randolph Co., AR to William S. Fredrick.) All I know of Christina Jones Fredrick's parents is that her mother was Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, and the family had a bit of money. The reason I think that is due to some old photos which were taken of a painted portrait of Mrs. Elizabeth Jones and her clothing/jewelry/hair style etc. which indicated someone with enough money to afford them! Would really appreciate any help at all. Merrie
