Jones Family
Family Jones
I would like to thank Alice Land for all the photographs and documents she has provided and also to Mildred Clark for all of her helpful information and all the great treasures she kept in a old suitcase. I have uncovered a lot of our Ancestors on this side of the family. Unfortunately there is not a lot on our direct Jones line. Mildred Clark told a story about how the records burnt up when the town hall in Kentucky where the Jones family lived at the time. . The family can be traced to Carlisle County, Kentucky . Before that they lived in Tennessee Mildred Jones say they also lived in Mayfield Kentucky How Ira got to Kentucky I have no clue. We have been in contact with several different families that are related and they have shared information with us. Benjamin B. Cable came from Cincinnati Ohio where there is a large Cable family . I collected a lot of information from Ancestry.com The Missouri, Ohio and Oklahoma state archives and the St Louis Public Library.

Mildred Jones Clark said her parents Howard and Vina were separated at the time of Vina's death. Howard had moved to Oklahoma to live with his mother. Howard married a woman by the name of Goldie Miller . The marriage did not last long. The separation in box 7 would be between Howard and Goldie.Since Vina passed away 4 years before Howard box 7 would say widowed.
