Patti, I would appreciate a lookup of the JONES surname (please don't groan!). I am seeking some very specific information, so it might not be that bad. I am looking for any information on the parents of a Marie JONES who married Harry E. J. Putney. Marie died at a young age, most likely in 1918, most likely in Kittanning. She does not show up in cemetery indexes in Armstrong County. She had 4 children, Harriet E. (Jean) Putney, David Judson Putney, Madge Putney, and Frances Putney. I have information from both the 1910 and 1920 census records already on this Putney family. Marie JONES parents were supposed to be David and an Emma Jones from Pittsburgh. From family accounts, they were "fabulously wealthy" and entrusted a good portion of their money through their son-in-law, Harry E. J. Putney. At some point before Marie's death, the investments went bad, and they lost a lot of money. They possibly invested in the Chicago Air Brake Co., which he was heavily involved in around 1914. I don't know whether they were mad enough at their son-in-law to bury their daughter under her maiden name or not, but if they didn't bury her, she is probably in a "potter's field" because her kids could not have afforded a burial. She is not in the Putneyville cemetery. I am looking for anything on this JONES family-- Directory information from 1915-1920 (addresses, jobs, etc.) an obituary for Marie (JONES) PUTNEY Cemetery plot for this Jones family Other siblings for Marie Any other ancestor information Any other related obits I have only a local FHC, and the films have been extremely slow in coming. I have looked up the JONES surname on soundex records, but there are too many Davids, and no Emmas listed with Davids that make sense with what I think I know. The full census records I ordered at the beginning of December have still not shown up. Any help on this family would be appreciated. If you cringe at the JONES surname, I could ask for a different lookup, instead--I am researching many surnames in the area. This is just the one I am currently the most curious about.
