I have already written to him and he and mother have corresponded. He is related on her Downey side though, I don't know anything about his Jones line. I will have to ask if he knows anything. His parents were Downey and Addie Jones of Lacey. He has one brother John Downey Jones. His grandparents were James Monroe Jones b. 1852 and Clara Downey (1878-1959). His grandmother Clara was sister to Mom's grandmother Vinnie Downey Spencer. I had wondered if there was any connection to your Jones line since there didn't seem to be one from our Jones (Nathaniel Green Jones) ? Karen
