My most elusive Jones is my great gradfather, Lewis M. Jones (nicknamed Lige). Per 1900 census he says he was born 5/1842 in Tennessee. He "appears" in Fannin County, TX in 1870 where he marries Sophia Elizabeth Cummins, daughter of Elijah Washington Cummins and Lydia Green Oliver Cummins. Lige and Elizabeth had the following children: Elijah T. Jones, born 9/19/1871 in Fannin Co., TX, died 5/23/1932 in Cooke Co., TX Samuel Marion Jones, born 11/3/1875 in Grayson Co., TX, died 3/31/1953 in Oklahoma Co., OK. Maggie Jones, born 5/1883 in Grayson Co., TX, died 1918 in Montague Co., TX Robert Silas David Jones, born 1/9/1886 in Grayson Co., TX, died 6/4/1955 in Montague Co., TX (my line) Lewis M. Jones and Sophia died in probably the latter part of 1918. They are buried in Montague Cemetery, Montague Co., TX. Family oral history is that they, along with several other family members, died in the flu epidemic in 1918. I do not find death certificates. I am told by County Clerks that so many folks were dying in 1918 of the flu, that they were often buried without the deaths being registered. I have read the index to the 1850 and 1860 Tennessee census looking for a Jones that met Lige's age, etc, without success. So, who were Lige's parents? I would love suggestions as to where I should now search. And, I would really love to hear from anyone who has knowledge of this family. Blessings to all, Dorie
