Hi everyone! I was contacted by a new cousin earlier today and that put me back on the path for my elusive Jones family. Below was taken from Jonathan Mathias Jones's obituary: John M. Jones was born in Scott County, MS. Feb 18, 1852. He moved to Arkansas in the year 1865, staying there three years and then moving to Louisiana in 1868. He was first married to Martha Jane Nolan in December, 1872 with whom he lived for over 25 years. After her death he was again married to M. E. Holloway (nee McMurrain) in 1899 with whom he lived until his death August 21, 1908. I've connected Henry Newton Jones who married Martha L. McCormick and then Loudella Webb, to Jonathan and now I've connected a sister! Celia (Sellie) Elizabeth Jones born November 30, 1863 in Mississippi and died March 13, 1933 in Union Parish. Sellie Jones married Newitt Martin and they had 7 children. Thanks to Carolyn Martin Boies, I have their names and dates of birth. Now we're on the search for these Jones's parents. Family rememberances are that the mother of John, Sellie and Newton, remarried in Louisiana to a man by the name of House. There were two daughters of this union, Mink and Dink (DOB unknown). It is said that Dink House, married Humphrey Ramsey. I am looking for a marriage between a bride JONES to a groom HOUSE, circa 1860+ or anyone familiar with the HOUSE or RAMSEY lineage. We would love to hear from you! Thankyou! Lori 2nd -great grandaughter of Jonathan Mathias Jones and cousin to just about every family in Union Parish :)
