To all my friends who are searching, as I; Let me apologize in advance, to those of you who may be on several sites, and receive this more than once, but I'm begining to feel some desperation, (smile) as the only Marshall JONES I've been able to find that remotely fits the dates of my great grandfather, appears to have been married to another woman (see below). Now, I'm wondering, is he the same man? Or, has anyone else run into plural marriages while doing their searches? Incidently, I spelled the names as I found them to be written on records. >> My grandfather was Lawrence E. JONES and he died in Henry CO, >> TN. He had brothers, Charlie JONES and Samuel JONES and a sister Lula >> JONES. >> >> It is said that he was born in Weakley Co TN >> >> My ggrandfather was Marshal JONES who was married to Amanda German HUGLE/Hugle/Huzle/Huglely (I've found variations on the name.) The only Marshal JONES I've been able to find that would vaguely fit my Marshal JONES was >> married to a woman in Sullivan County, TN and her last name was WARREN. >> >> So, in checking the TN Census, I couldn't find him, Marshal JONES, in Henry Co except one >> time in 1870 and it shows as follows: JONES, Marshal, farmer, age 24, >> farmer; JONES, Amanda, age 26, housekeeper; JONES, William, age 7; JONES, >> Samuel, age 3; JONES, James, age 8 mos. (figured he was born in Oct. 1869); >> HAGUL, Mary, age 14 househand; HAGUL, Tabitha, age 47, househand. >> >> I can only "assume", which I hate doing, that Tabitha HAGUL was Amanda's >> mother. >> >> However, jumping forward to the 1910 Henry Co Census I found JONES, Lawrence >> E. , with wife Lula (Weakes), and children Curtis, Sadie, Mary and a man >> named WARREN, William living in the household. >> >> Then in another household, for 1910, I found JONES, Charley J., (head) >> Jones, Mandy G. (mother) and JONES, Lula M. (sister). Charley's death record reads that his name was Charley Reed JONES, born in Weakley County in 1876 to Marshall JONES and Manda HUGEL. He died in Henry in 1942. >> >> It was through death records that I learned the mother's middle name was >> "German." They had also named one of my aunt's Medie German JONES. Samuel JONES allegedly went to >> Weakley Co and I "think" one of his son's was named Clyde(?) but he, Sam, >> also had a bunch of kids. >> One of the JONES's was a deputy sheriff in Martin, TN and his nickname was allegedly "Bulldog" JONES. The story in the family went that he had killed a man in Martin and told everyone that if they didn't vote him in as sheriff then they would be next to die and consequently he was elected. Well, now, surely someone would remember such a tale, were it true. But, I asked P.J. and heaven only knows, P.J. has got to be among the greatest on the Weakley County History and, bless her little ol heart, she couldn't find a darned thing for me. (Thanks, anyway, P.J.) >> I have no idea what happened to William JONES or the James JONES that shows >> in the 1870 census as mentioned above. >> >> By the way, Marshal JONES disappears from everything on the year that his >> daughter Lula JONES was born. (I think that was in 1885, but I'll have to >> double check) Well, I communicated with someone who is from the >> JONES-WARREN family and she said that her Marshal JONES died that year and >> he's buried up near Sullivan Co (Hancock, I think). So, we're trying to >> figure out if our Marshal JONES is one and the same. >> >> >> Hugs, Virginia (Jones) in St. Louis, MO
