Hi- I'm new to this list and I need some help. This is the family I am having trouble with. I know he lived in Cherokee County, Tahlequah until his death by drowning in 1914. The details concerning his death, his children and what happened to them is all confusion. I am the granddaughter of his sister Mollie Jones. If anyone can help trace this family it would be greatly appreciated. Rhonda Chesnutt Descendants of John Cade R. Jones 1.
