Hi List, Someone very kind looked up and found a census for me: I have looked at all the websites and even bought a membership to Ancestry.com to find these people. How in the world do I find out what Lucind's mainden name is and William's full name? Any advice is welcome :) Thanks Kathy Hess Rogers, Arkansas Census Place: Buffalo, Pike, Missouri Source: FHL Film 1254709 National Archives Film T9-0709 Page 458D Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace William JONES Self M M W 55 KY Occ: Farmer Fa: KY Mo: KY Lucind JONES Wife F M W 53 MO Occ: Keeping House Fa: VA Mo: VA John F.

JONES Son M S W 19 MO > Occ: Works On Farm Fa: KY Mo: MO > Lucinda SNEAD GDau F S W 9 MO > Fa: MO Mo: MO Here is my two cents. There are a few clues in the census info. William and his parents were born in KY while Lucind, or more likely Lucinda, was born in MO with her parents born in VA. Many, many Kentuckians moved to Missouri in the 1800's so I would guess the Jones migrated to Missouri and the two were married around 1850. I say this because the oldest child listed is 28, although there could be others older and not living at home. What I would do is to see if any of their children got social security number as an adult. If they lived into the 1930's or so there is a good chance they did to get various benifits and such. If so, you could get a copy of the original application. This would list the parents names which usually includes the mothers maiden name. If you have earlier census or can obtain it, sometimes you get lucky and it will list a mother-in-law or father-in-law living with a family which would also give you the maiden name. Another census may also give a middle initial for William. I recently tried to buy a book on Ebay about the history of Pike and few other counties but did not get it. Perhaps there is a bio out there in one of those books that may shed some light. On the other hand, she could be his second wife and throw it all out the window. Something from www.familysearch.org.
