It's been some time, so here is the latest on my ggrandfather: James Jones - 1900 census indicates he was born in November of 1867 in MO. According to the census, his father was born in Tenn and his mother was born in MO. He was married to Mary Ann Hoover who was born in October of 1873 in Arkansas (again in 1900 census). James does not show up in the 1910 census and his wife is listed as head of house and widowed. I obtained a picture if James' gravestone which indicated he died in 1909 in Ripley County, MO. If anyone can identify with the above, I would appreciate any info - particularly James' parents names. tks EAJones
