I am looking for information on George L. Jones born about 1875 in Saline Co., IL and his sister Maggie (Emma Margaret) Smith, born about 1872, Saline Co., IL. The name of her Smith husband unknown. George and Maggie were living in Thompson in 1927 when their father Samuel Jones died, according to his obituary. Then in Aug. 1941, George was still there when he signed a delayed birth certificate for his brother Otto Jones. Any help appreciated on these families. Who did they marry? When did they die and where buried. Need childrens names. George and Maggie were the siblings of my grandmother, Dessie Mariah Jones Spillman and they were children of Samuel Jones and Melissa Ritter. Judy

That should have read Thompsonville (Franklin Co)....their brother James was also living there when he married in 1893...sister Mary also married in Franklin Co... > Then in Aug. 1941, George was still there when he signed a delayed birth > certificate for his brother Otto Jones. It's possible that George is burried at Pleasant Hill cemetery in Cave Twp., FCI with a possible wife named Fannie. Couldn't find Otto's burial in Cave or Eastern Twp of FCI(Franklin Co IL)... >From my JONES database from work I have done and contributions from researchers like you, I show the following for your family....
