James C. Babb family of Nansemond Co., VA
I'm trying to find out how this Susan Ann JONES fits into this BABB family.
Finding her in the 1850 census living with the BABB family, I thought maybe she had previously been married to a Mr. Jones. Then I found the marriage license below which lists her as single and her parents as James & Cinthy JONES, not BABB. Could she have lied on her license???
Also, somewhere I thought I saw that her mother's maiden name was JONES, but can no longer locate the source of that information.
Other than references to a book by G. O. Parker, I can find very little information about this family online.
If anyone can clarify this, I would be very grateful.
