Vera Jones, I read your request on the Jones Mailing List for information on your grandfather. I didn't find anything on him, but I did find your grandmother listed online. It has her name as Grace Amber Blackwell, daughter of William Henry Blackwell and Florence Ella Williams. Grace was born November 16, 1896 in Texas and she died August 1924. The data I found lists her husband's name as Grover Jones and gives no other information. There is, however, quite a lot about Grace's ancestors. I found this information on Ancestry.com. You should be able to access the data without being a member. Go into their website and put in Grace Blackwell, look in the Ancestry World Tree Entries and look for her name in the list. If you can't find it, contact me back direct. kjk@101freeway.net Kathy Jones-Kristof
