All my life, my dad talked about his being descended from a Sac and Fox chief. If he were still living, I think he would have been amused by my discovery that in actuality, my dad was a *step-descendant* not of a Sac and Fox chief, but of a very generous and good man named Henry Clay JONES, a half Sac and Fox who was the interpreter for the Sac and Fox tribe at Prague, OK. My dad didn't have the facts, but his mother, my grandmother, flat out fabricated a story to hide the truth about her father's birth. She started researching her genealogy back in the '60's and she told about her grandmother eloping with a young man named Marshall Field who was from a wealthy family. Both families disapproved of the marriage so her brother locked her in her room while the groom's parents whisked him away. The so-called annullment ended in the birth of my grgrandfather, and later his mother Sarah PENNY married the half Sac and Fox Henry Clay JONES who adopted my grgrandfather Edwin Fenton JONES. I've searched and searched, but I find no records or mention of a Marshall Field living in Shawnee Co KS. My grandmother, bless her heart, just didn't like the truth that her father was illegimate. Interestingly enough, I discovered a JONES cousin who is a direct descendant of Henry JONES, and this *cousin's* brother was just recently accepted into the Sac and Fox tribe. Carol McCoy
