Margie, These are the Phelps in my family. Virginia Jones' first husband was Floyd Moore. I am decended from their daughter Venie Moore my gr grandmother who married James Edward South. Descendants of W. Sam Phelps Generation No. 1 1. W. SAM1 PHELPS was born 1859, and died 1931. He married VIRGINIA JONES December 06, 1883 in Sullivan County, TN. Notes for VIRGINIA JONES: In the South and the Carrier families the story of Jennie Moore was that Venie and Ed were born out of wedlock and took their mother's name Moore. It was said that Jennie came from Saltville, VA. According to Jack Cross, who Louella Burnette verifies that he is descended from our Ed Moore, she was a Jones and married Floyd Moore. I talked with Louella today 12/26/1998 and she is still not convinced that Jennie is a Jones. She is burried in Ordway Cemetary as Jane Wife of Samuel Phelps 1857-1931. Her nickname Jennie probably came from Virginia and Jane may have been one of her names. Somewhere I got a name of Mary Jane but I don't remember where I got it from. Jack Cross has her name as Virginia Jones and I have her name as Jennie Moore. I'll go with Virginia Jones for now until there is recorded proof of her name which may be Mary Jane Jones.
