John M. Jones married Mary Foster, Knox Co. 16 May 1867. They had three daughters, Elizabeth Mary who married Thomas Rose, Ella who married Lawrence Irick (may be second marriage) and Nellie (Nella Victoria) who married Allen Fearn (who was born in Milton, KY.) Nellie and Ella were twins born in 1870. Elizabeth (Lizzie) was the oldest. Mary Jones died March 1899 and is buried at Woodlawn Cem. John Jones was reinterred there in Oct. 1894. Mary bought the cemetery lot in 1894. Ellie Irick and L. C. Irick Sr. are buried in the same cemetery lot and their daughter, Mary Irick Owen sold the remainder of the lot spaces in 1988. Mary came to Mobile to visit her cousins from time and stayed with my aunt Nellie Fearn LaBan, my father's sister. Allen and Nellie Fearn were their parents. I am hoping to locate information on John & Mary Jones, birth dates, place of birth, parents, and anything else that may turn up to help me research this line. The family story is that John died young leaving Mary with the three little girls to raise. She is supposed to have run a boarding house in the family home and that is where Allen met Nellie when he was working in Knoxville. I don't know why he was in Knoxville and would be interested in learning that. I am extremely curious about John being reinterred in Woodlawn Cemetery. Their records give nothing except that date, no death date or place of death and burial. I have a copy of a letter John wrote Mary 23 July, 1871 when she was apparently visiting someone out of town with the children. There is no indication of where they were. He was clerking in a store and is supposed to have served in the Confederate army. I have not determined which John M. Jones is the right one at the present time. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who may be researching this family. I have copies of a couple of pictures of several men and women in front of a house. My aunt gave them to her son. They are not identified but the two women look like they are sisters and perhaps are the twins. Iras Fearn Smith Mobile, AL
