Since I posted the below message on Marcus Jones, I have found the marriage date of an Elzora Willard to an Andrew T.A. Jones in Cullman Co. December 12, 1885. I believe that Elzora was daughter of Miles Williard and sister to Nannie Willard Young. I believe that Elzora Willard Jones died by 1900, as her 2 sons are living with their grandfather William M.M. Willard in Cullman Co. in 1900. I believe that the son Monroe Jones was the father of Marcus Jones who was the informant on the death record of Joseph Felix Young who died in 1950 whose wife was Nannie Willard, sister to Elzora Willard Jones.
