Dear Dennis Welty: I have some Eoff's that married into my JONES descendants family. Here is how it goes; I hope that this information that I have will be helpful in your search. William Harvey Jones m. Rebecca Jane Gabbert (son of Wm.H & Rebecca J. Jones) William Thomas Andrew Jones m. Mattie Wilkerson (daughter of Wm. T. Andrew Jones & Mattie Wilkerson) Edna Pearlie Jones m. Willie Thomas Dickerson (daughter of Edna Pearlie Jones Dickerson & Willie T, Dickerson) Ella Marie Dickerson m. L. B. Lancaster (daughter of Ella M. Dickerson & L. B. Lancaster) Theresa Ann Lancaster m. Travis Eoff Benjamin "Ben John Jones, the half brother of William Harvey Jones, had step children that lived in and around Erath Co., TX. One of these step children, Cecil Payne married a Carrie Eoff. From what I have been told the Eoff Family came from Germany to America in about 1701 and all have descended from one common ancestor. Carrie Eoff was the daughter of George Washington Eoff and Amanda Jane Nixon. George Washington Eoff was the son of Robert M. Eoff, and Virginia H. Butler. Robert M. Eoff was the son of John Eoff and Lucy Shaw. Some of Carrie Eoff's family descendants still live in the Blanket area. I do not have their names. It appears that these two Jones brothers both have Eoff family connections. I welcome any information on these and other related families.
