John Fones b. 1840 NY d. bef. 1910 Auburn, IL. married Mary A. Minnium Chapman Seeking further information on John FONES. According to the 1900 Cook County, Thornton Township, City of Harvey, John was born April 1840 in New York & so were his parents. He died before 1910. He married Mary Adeline MINNIUM CHAPMAN about 1899. She was born May 20, 1852 in Brown County, Illinois. She died Dec. 10, 1926 in Auburn, Sangamon County, IL. She was buried in the Auburn Cemetery, Auburn, IL. I believe by her husband John. It is unknown if they had children. Mary Adeline's parents were John A. and Hannah HETRICK MINNIUM. They were both born in PA. Mary's first husband was Samuel V. CHAPMAN 1846-1887. They had 5 children: May, Cora, Arvilla, Artilla, Wallace. It is unknown what happened to the children except Artilla married Jacob H. FOSTER in 1892 Cass Co. IL. If any of this sounds remotely familiar please reply. Thanks, Judi
