He married *Aeann/Arann/Orra Ann/ Arre A. Lazurus b. 1824/ died Leon McCaa >> Dear Leon, My SLAUGHTER and WILLIAMS descended grandfather, Louis Hector SLAUGHTER, born: 1869 in Franklin Parish, LA married my HATTEN and JONES grandmother, his 3rd wife, Ethel Rosalee HATTEN, (1st husband was named Joseph Marion/Mancil? WOMACK,) from Winn Parish, LA in the late 1800's. (Louis's 1st wife was Callie Martha MUNN (KING,) and his 2nd wife was Mary LEE.) The JONES great grandmother of mine was Rodella "Della" JONES, born: 1868, daughter of Martha Ann Caroline Matilda? McCARTY, (mother: Nancy SPRADLEY (SIMOT?,) and Hiram/Hyram McCARTY,) and her husband who was William Tunley JONES, (Confed./Civil War,) who was the son of Malinda EVANS, (daughter of "Panther" EVANS,) and Alson JONES, son of Benjamin JONES who immigrated in abt. 1802 from England, (possibly Wales prior to that,) to Mobile, Alabama where he put his skills as a 'fur hatter' to use in the hat shop he owned until he passed away. Benjamin JONES wife's name is not know but it is reported that she grew up on the River Dee in Wales. Does your JONES lineage, by any chance, connect to this JONES family? Thanks. Sincerely, Bellinda Myrick - Barnett
