    1. [Jones] JONES, Crenshaw Co.,AL
    2. This is my first posting and I'm really hoping someone out there can help me. I have put off researching my JONES family, because I have had no name other than my g-grandmother, Rebecca Georgianne JONES b: 6 Feb. 1865 in Crenshaw Co. AL. She married John Carlton CARPENTER b: 20 Dec 1860. His death certificate lists Brantley, AL as his place of birth. Also, due to the poor condition of the 1880 Crenshaw Co. census , it has been impossible to follow my family through from 1870. I did find a family in the 1870 Crenshaw census with a Rebecca , but she was listed as 7 yrs, and should have been 9/10 yrs. However I have kept the family in mind as "a possibility". Another reason I was suspicious that this might be the family is the youngest child was named "Littleton" which is my grandfather's middle name (John Littleton CARPENTER, b: 30 Sep. 1889 in Elba, Coffee, AL). So, I suspect that my Rebecca belongs to the Harvey JONES family found in the 1880 Bullock, Crenshaw, AL. Thanks to the wonderful job done by the LDS site I have been able to"review" the 1880 Crenshaw, AL census. By the way, Rebecca is now the correct age of 15. Rebecca is living with an A. Jones in 1880 who is 21 yrs and widowed. There is also a Thomas 11, and an S.P. (dau) 9 yrs. Could this A. Jones be a daughter of Harvey? Is anyone researching Harvey JONES b: abt 1816 in GA? He married Mariah, and their children in 1870 were listed as, Andrew 21, Washington 19, Frances 16, Anna 15, Henry 13, Amanda 11, Joseph 10, Rebecca 7, Elinor 4, and Littleton 1. Sandy, Central FL
