Hi All: I only have 5 packages to wrap but have until 4:00 tonight (25th), just didn't want to rush wrapping. I have been looking into the Jones/Allen names. If you have Ancestry.com you can find what I am telling you about, if not email me and I will send you details. Working backward (I did not check 1910 and 1920 census) 1900 Census Stone Co., MO Lucinda Jones age 43 born AR George H. Jones age 14 born MO Stone Co., MO History found no index listing for a Lucinda Allen one listing G S D Jones page 562 William Nathan Owens b. 26 Feb 1877 Baxter, MO m. 27 Dec 1899 at the residence of George Simon Dillingham Jones, father of the bride, in Stone Co.,to Ida May Jones b. 7 Feb 1883 Baxter, MO. She was under the age of 18 and "GSDJones, father of Ida Jones hereby gives his written assent to said marriage." The marriage was officiated by P. M. Jones, Judge of the County Court. (this makes it look like GSD Jones died between 27 Dec. 1899 and the census date in 1900) 1880 census Stone Co., MO G.S.D. Jones age 53 born KY parents born VA Lucinda Jones age 24 born AR parents born TN (no children) Marriage G.S.D Jones to Lucinda Allen 21 Dec. 1876 Stone Co., MO 1876 Stone Co., MO census (on StoneWeb site by Joy Hobbs) TW 22 Lucinda Allen age 18-21 (no other Allen's in TW, not sure if she was living alone or with someone.) TW 22 George W. Jones Pleasant Jones Sarah Jones (did not check the other TW's) 1870 Turnback, Lawrence Co., MO George S D Jones 43 KY wife Manda and 4 children 1860 Turnback, Lawrence Co., MO. Geo. S. D. Jones 34 KY wife Amanda and 4 children 1850 I have not been able to find them Marriage 21 June 1849 Lawrence Co., MO George S. D. Jones to Manda E. Clayton by John W. McCall, J. P. On Ancestry.com "OneWorldTree" Listed George Simon Jones. Gives George's parents, nothing on Lucinda Allen parents. Looks like 5 people gave information or 1 person put in information 5 times that they combined. I have to send a blind letter to the person. So didn't want to unless it would help someone. stopped looking for Jones information Lucinda Allen not much luck on her we have 3 birth years Stone said 1852 1900 age 43= 1857 1880 age 24= 1856 for 1870 census I only found two that I felt could fit.

Big Rock, Pulaski Co., AR Samuel and Martha Allen both born TN (3 children Lucy 12 born AR) I stopped there If you can't get the information off Ancestry.com, email me. I am not kin to these people.
