I am in need of obtaining census records for 1850 - 1900. I did locate my uncle, Richard David Jones' father, Allen Aris Jones as a 16 year old boy in the 1910 census when his mother, Dolly Wood(s) Jones, 39, remarried a George W. Davis. They were in Pct 2, 12/12. In the 1900 census, Allen is 6 and he and his mother and siblings live with his grandparents, the Allen A Wood's. Allen has two brothers, Finnous P., 8, and James H., 4. Dolly is a widowin 1900.. And there is the problem. No one in the family know the given name of Dolly(ie)'s husband, Mr ??? Jones. Some believe that Allen Aris Jones was actually born in or near Spurger, Tyler, TX. He married Lucy Myrtle Williams. Both of these folks lived and are buried in Kirbyville, possibly, Bean Cemetery. I do not know if these Jones' are kin to any of the Jones' you elude to. I will be happy to converse with you about possible connects and who might help with lookups... at my expense, of course. My e-mail address: [email protected] My wife and I live in Flower Mound, TX and from time to time come down to the Jasper area on our way to Ragley, Beauregard Parish LA. Any of those telephone numbers would be appreciated so I can obtain some of their materials. Any assistance from you or someone who might know my Jones' would be wonderful. My uncle, Richard still has relatives living in the area. One sister, Nancy Jones Williams, b. Sep, 21, 1919 is deceased. She was married to Ocie David Williams... I cannot locate him - spelling of given name may be in error. Best regards and may God bless you and yours, Mike Harrison Sr
