Lucy Jones was the first wife of Thomas Chandler Parrott, Sr. Lucy Jones and Thomas Chandler Parrott, Sr. had 3 children: Sarah Elizabeth, Lafayette and Mary Francis Parrott. Upon the death of John Jones, the 3 children of Lucy Jones Parrott, since Lucy died before her father, were named as heirs in John Jones' will. Missouri Jones has always been a mystery, but obviously there must be a family connection. Rose Jones, a sibling of Lucy, also married into the Parrott family. I have no Ephraim Jones nor Missouri Jones in my files, therefore I do not know how they relate.
