Here's the only mention I find of Jones & Catherine (Nation) Ledbetter in MCAR records. "Marion Co. AR 1890" by Helen McMindes [reconstructed 1890 census] Oliver L Risley (son of Benjamin & Sarah (Miller) (Brown) Risley) b April 1851 MO MO MO. Franklin Township. Nancy Elizabeth (daughter of Jones & Catherine [Nation] Ledbetter) b Jan 1854 MO TN TN married 24 years, has had 11 children, 8 living (as per 1900 census). [Note: Catherine Nation is 1/4 Cherokee.] Lillie Mae b April 1880 AR MO MO single in 1900. Alice b July 1881 AR MO MO single in 1900. Virgil Elmo b Sept 1883 AR MO MO. Ross Lee b Oct 1885 AR MO MO. Troy Benton b March 1889 AR MO MO. [Note: In 1900 Catherine Tabor, mother-in-law, is living with them. She is 75 and has borne one child.] Apparently Jones and Catherine (Nation) Ledbetter had only one child, Nancy Elizabeth. Also apparently Catherine married a Tabor after Jones died. You might try looking in Ozark and Taney Co in MO for further information - it looks to me as if they never actually lived in Marion Co. Hope this is helpful.
