An index of the Iowa 1860 census says there was a George Jones in this county in that year. There were only 6 counties that were not ruled out by middle initials being wrong. I am hoping to find family of my George Jones. He was listed in the Rooks co. Ks census of 1880 as George Newton Jones born in 1853 in Iowa to parents that were both from Illinois. He married my gg grandmother in1875, they had my great grandfather in 1878, in 1883 George Newton Jones disappeared, in 1886 his wife died, and their 3 children were raised by her family. I am looking though for George Newton Jones' siblings ( if he had any) and his parents in Iowa. Clark Jones
