Patty, I think Mrs. Schumpert (Barnes) Jones can help you as she is a descendant of the late, great Dr. Hasson Barnes who was a Winn Parish sports hero, later played quarterback at Tulane, and whose grandsons were the great Bert Jones who was All-American at LSU, All-Pro, and I think MVP in the National Football League with the Baltimore Colts; Tom Jones who played QB at the U. of Arkansas, and Ben Jones who was also a great LSU player. Her other son Bill is currently a state senator and she married Dub Jones, also an all-pro football player.
