    3. Bill, I'm putting this out on the list and leaving your message attached because maybe someone else will recognize some of these people. Shame on me for not putting some dates with my Jones people! James H. Jones was born in Gaspe Co., Quebec in 1869, the son of Thomas Jones and Annie Enright. James was from a large family but we don't know all of the children's names yet. He had brothers Joseph A. Jones and Matthew, both of whom died in MN, as James did. There were at least two sisters who were nuns. Don't know when James came out West to BC or when he married Lorena Reeves Lloyd Earle but their first (as far as I know) children were the triplets born 4 Apr 1907, place unknown. Only one child survived longer than two years....it's a wonder any did as they must have been quite tiny. Their 2nd batch of babies, twins, were born in Revelstoke and one died there. They later brought their babies and her children back to Portland where Lorena had lived before. I'll forward your message to my cousin who may have found more Jones siblings by now. Sorry....your names aren't familiar to me. My husband's Hammonds went from ME to Omaha, NE to OR. Good luck!
