Jones. One of my distant relatives Lydia Ann Lease, a sister to my great grandfather James Lease, married a John Nelson Jones and lived in Hurley and then Hartford,. SD. I am wondering if by chance this S.V. Jones was related to her husband's family as Parker and Hurley often shared lineages. Does anyone know if John Nelson Jones was related to S.V. Jones? She married John Nelson Jones and they came to Turner county in 1874, they were married in Feb. 23, 1868 at Richland Center, Wisconsin, however the Lease' were from a part of Virginia which is now West Virgina near the Potomac river. They were there in the 1700's and did not leave Virginia until about 1829. John Nelson Jones father was Jacob Jones and I know that John Nelson Jones was 24 in 1870 per the census of WI, Vernon county Any information would be appreciated.
