    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Jones, Givens, Parsons, Dennis, Donoway, Laws, Jacelin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/wEB.2ACE/93 Message Board Post: I am looking for some help. First I am looking for information on the Mt. Zion United Methodist Church in Whiton, Maryland. There are many Zion UME churches in Maryland and I believe this one is not in Whiton but near it. It may not be there still. But I have a Susie Jones buried there sometime after 1929. Also, I am looking for a Jones family that lived in Whiton, Maryland (which is on the border of Wicomico and Worcester Counties). I have John Thomas Jones born abt. Jan. 1866 in Whiton, Maryland and died in 1930. He married Cornelia E. Dennis of Willards, Wicomico, Maryland. He was also a train conductor for a railroad. I do not know his parents names but believe that he may had a brother Peter James Jones who was married to Susie Givens, daughter of Elisha Givens and Elizabeth Parsons. He might have had a sister or brother name Sidney Jones. Cornelia E. Dennis was born Jan 4, 1873 and died May 17, 1923. They had the following children: Margaret Elizabeth, b. 1895; John W., b. abt. 1890, Elma, b. 1896, and Eschol Dewey, b. 1898. I was told that John and Cornelia broke up when Eschol was young and John and Cornelia are found on the 1900 census married stilll. I put their divorce sometime right after 1900. I was told that me remarried after Cornelia and was living in Pennsylvania with all of his children from his first marriage except for Eschol since he was too young to be away from his mother. I also have a Susie Jones, wife of Peter James Jones, who I have an obituary for. No date on it except I know it mentioned her husband died in 1929 so it is after that year. Susie is the daughter of Elisha Givens and Elizabeth Parsons and had a sister Sarah Givens who married ? Jacelin and a brother, Herman Givens. Susie Givens and Peter James Jones had the following children: E. Maurice Jones Henry G. Jones J. Franklin Jones James S. Jones W. Elton Jones Daughter Jones (married to William Laws) Daughter Jones (married to Walter Donoway) Anyone with info on these families and the Zion UME church please contact me at [email protected] I have been stuck on this family for more than two years. Thanks, Kelly
