Thank you for your help, James Jones in the 1870 Census, Home 325, 59 born OH is the person I am interested in. He married Charity Dains 30 Oct 1841 in Boone County. I have traced him through the 1850, 1860, and 1870 Census. He remarried to a cousin Phoebe Stoneking on 14 Jan 1855 in Boone County. I assume that Charity died sometime between 1850 when she was in the Census and his second marriage. Phoebe shows up in the 1880 census as a widow. So sometime between 1870 and 1880 he died. Between both wives he had 10 children found in the census'. The rest of his siblings and father came to Oregon in 1852 except for his brother Jacob Jones, Jr. who lived in Boone County until 1900 when he died. Tracing their children is difficult as by the 1800 census most had married or moved and identifying Jones with common given names is problematic. The ones I have traced stayed mainly in Union Twp, Eagle Twp around Zionsville, on or near the Hamilton, Boone County line and later in Jackson Twp. Slowly I have pieced there lines together, but James family is my weakest line of research. Willard Anderson Cloverdale, Oregon
Have you seen the bio in the Boone Co. History of 1885?
