Surnames: Jones Casteel Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/EeB.2ACE/375 Message Board Post: I've hit a stumbling block on this side of my ancestry research... The Jones. I hope someone has some information that might help me break through this brick wall. My grandfather, John Elbert Jones, b. 10/29/1909 per his tombstone and the info Social Security information in Ancestry.com. However, his hand-written Social Security Application says 9-29-1908. "Elbert" or "Elwood" as he was called, lived in various places between Jonesboro and Johnson City, TN areas His last residence was Johnson City working for the Gas Company... until he had a seizure resulting in a car accident around April of 1972 where he drifted into a coma and never came out. He died on 6-3-1972 at our home in Springfield, VA and is buried at Anderson Cemetary in Unicoi, TN. Elbert's father, was Rev. R. D. Jones as noted on his tombstone... the "D" standing for David per Elbert's Social Security Application. He is also buried at Anderson Cemetary in Unicoi, TN. His tombstone showing he was born 1868 and died 1928. Buried along side of the Rev. is his wife (Elbert's mother), Alice Rebecca Casteel, b. 6-16-1871, Scott County, VA; d. 11-6-1955. Elbert had a lot of sisters and brothers, some full, some half, some step (adopted children by parents), as his father was married once prior to the marriage with Alice. These siblings are believed to be Rosie Jones (married a Carroll) Ollie Jones (married a Humphreys) Dall Jones ? Cordie Jones ? Alvin ? Jones (married Ms. Agnes Spaller) lived in Elizabethon, TN I am told. Elzie (or Elza) Jones (Married Ms. Arlee Rowe) lived in Unicoi, TN. C. Jones Ida Bowman (married Alex Payne) Henry S. Bowman (married a woman named "Neat" ) Henry may have married a couple of times. Frank Jones (married Ms. Ella May or Mae) I believe that my grandfather Elbert Jones was married three times, though I personally only know of the latter two: (1) Ms. Liz Watson is said to be buried next to Elbert at Anderson Cemetary in Unicoi, TN although there is not marker to indicate such. I've not found any documentation confirming this marriage or buriel. (2) Ms. Agnes Emma Head. On their marriage license, my grandfather is lsited as "Elwood Jones" instead of Elbert). (3) Pearl Shelton If you have any information or connection to anyone mentioned in this post, PLEASE email me at [email protected] Thank you and happy hunting !
