I've "rescued" an old marriage certificate belonging to John P. JONES and Mary PEART who were married in Perry County Ohio on 11 Aug 1879. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding this couple: Mary Ann PEART was b. 4 Jun 1857 in West Virginia to parents Emerson PEART (1828-1892) and Elizabeth PARKIN (1832-1901). Mary Ann was one of 10 children born to this couple including, John; William Charles; Mary Ann; Joseph; Thomas; George; Hannah; Elizabeth; Calicomel or Calicomell Millie; and Emma PEART, all born between 1854 and 1871. Mary Ann married John Paul JONES (1853-1914) and together they had 6 children including, William Paul; Luella; Howard Ellsworth; Mary Elizabeth; Mary L.; and Vienna JONES all born between 1879 and 1888. Mary Ann died in Newark, OH on 8 Nov 1938. Census records provide the following details: 1880 census of Shawnee, OH: John JONES, age 27, a Coal Miner, born Wales, parents born Wales Mary A.
