Hello Ruby, My grandmother, Alma Adele Moses Jones, was born and raised in Drake's Creek, Madison County, January 1902. Her mother was Nettie Moses, daughter of Kimble Alonzo Moses and Mary Jane Harrison Moses. My grandmother used her mother's maiden name as her own and we never learned the true identity of her father, although we suspect it was R. L. "Jim" Havens. Nettie and Jim were married and had a son together, but they either separated, divorced, or he just left several years before my grandmother was born. We think he came back just long enough for my grandmother to enter the picture and then he was gone again. Because of this perceived stigma, my beloved grandmother never spoke of her family except to tell how much she loved her mother and adored Kimble and Mary Jane. Her grandparents both died in Madison County, but we don't even know the dates. We think he was born in 1842, she in 1846, both in Ohio. Is there any way to determine from the publications you have when/where they might be buried in Madison County? We would appreciate any help you could offer. Thank you in advance for your time and attention to this. Raye Blackman
