I am trying to find information on the parents of Aaron Jones who was born in Saginaw Michigan on June 25, 1860. Unfortunately, Michigan did not keep bmd records until 1867. I know his birth date from his obituary and from marriage records (neither of which mention his parents). He married on February 7, 1886 in Taymouth Township, Saginaw County to Margaret Lawhead. Aaron died on June 8, 1933 in Taymouth Township, Saginaw County Michigan. According to his obituary, he had a brother Frank Jones and a sister Mrs. Elizabeth Showers both of Saginaw, Michigan. He also had a daughter - Mrs. Elmer Knight of Jackson Michigan - unfortunately, this is all that I know for sure of her. I am also seeking descendants of this daughter. I have been able to definitively find Aaron Jones in the 1910, 1920 and 1930 census information for Saginaw County - this is after he's married with a family. Unfortunately, I haven't found him definitively yet prior to 1910 in the Census, but I have no reason to believe he was anyplace other than Saginaw County (his obituary confirms my theory stating he had lived more than 50 of his 72 years in Taymouth Township). Aaron and Margaret's other children include: Jessie (married Jasper Roy Snider), Rhonda (who married a man with the last name of Reikowsky), Roy R. (married Gladys Neeley), Ola May (possibly married Elmer Knight, but unknown for sure), Archie (married Beatrice Marsh), Herbert (married Gladys Neeley), Oscar E (married Margaret Zirkle), Thurlo E. (married Genevieve Baker), Marie Irene (married Raymond Hickmott), and Laverne (married June Reed). I am a granddaughter of Marie and Raymond. Nancy Rivers

You may be in luck on the census record. If he was born June 25, he might be listed on the 1860 census. I believe the library has the 1860 census indexed and it would not be hard to check all of the Joneses listed there. That would show the family with a baby of just a month or two old.> I am trying to find information on the parents of Aaron Jones who was > born in Saginaw Michigan on June 25, 1860.
