pstotts187 — 2009-11-05 03:06:04Z

I am also looking for the parents of Lifus Janes. I have heard that he was blind and Martha was part Indian. I too am under the understanding that his father was Andrew Janes that is listed on his death certificate.

Just found your post which has given me new insight into looking for my gg grandfather. I have been using a copy of the James/Peek book and have a listing of Lifus' siblings.
Nothing else is listed All the information was submitted by Ernest England and the last entry was for Lesley Janes b.1876 who married Jane??: one son Guy Janes b.1919. Also has listing for an Absalom b.1795 in VA. Sampson b.1840 and Richard Donald Janes. Don't know if you're interested in this information but if so you may email me at JBloom1021@aol.

memmathis — 2009-10-25 13:33:01Z

I started thinking...I need to make a clarification about this line, if you start looking futher back than Andrew & Marion. Their grandfather being David Janes of VA is based upon the research of others (see sources listed on the site). David being the son of William Janes of Richmond, VA is also based upon the same.

Currently, two separate lines of David & Elizabeth Janes of Adair Co., KY have had their dna tested. Neither line matches, so more definitely needs to be done there. However...neither of these lines match the Janes/Jaynes family of New Haven, CT (those in Rev. Frederic Janes book). Now, in Rev. Janes book, he stated that he wasn't sure William Janes of Richmond, VA was a desendant...so there is definitely more that needs to be done on that line.

Re: Found info on Lifus Martha Page Janes

memmathis — 2009-10-25 02:49:43Z

I think the 1870 census may be confusing researchers fo this family.

For sure (per his death certificate) Lifus C. Janes was the son of Andrew "Andy" Janes.

Andrew's brother - Francis Marion Janes is the one who married Millie Ermine Stotts, but I don't believe Marion was married to a Matilda...Andrew was.

In 1870, for some reason Andrew is listed as the head of Marion's household and Marion is listed as the head of Andrew's household.

Re: Found info on Lifus Martha Page Janes

chestercampbell — 2009-10-23 23:30:28Z

Here is what I have.

William Marion Janes was married twice: (1) to Matilda Unknown and (2) Millie Ermine Stotts.

Laura Bell Janes is the daughter of William Marion Janes and Millie Ermine Stotts.
There is another daughter Maranda Izora Janes married to Curtis Clay Janes.

Curtis Clay and Maranda are my great grandparents.

Lifus is the son of William Marion Janes and Matilda Unknown.

Lifus married Martha W. Page. Martha W. Page's parents are Willis Page and Penina Reed. (it is true that her name is spell differently on every census).

Martha W. Page is sister to Gwinn Best Page my great grandfather.

A son of Martha and Gwinn, Emory Willie Page married Elvada Janes. Elvada is a daughter of Curtis Clay and Maranida Izora Janes.

I hope I have this correct. I am planning a trip to Adair County next spring.
Hope to find some information. Has anyone checked out the book "The Janes Family a Genealogy and Brief History of the Descendants of William Janes the Emigrant Ancestor of 1637..." by: Rev. Frederic Janes in 1868?

This book goes down to a Marion Janes married to Matilda Unknown. It states that nothing further is known about this family.

I believe that this is the William Marion Janes and Matilda Unknown that I have. Just have not been able to prove it.

If this is proven to be wrong please let me know how and where the information comes from. Thanks

I have a Jesse Janes in TN for the time period your Elizabeth was born. He is only on one tax record but thought it worth mentioning. He is the only Jesse I have come across for this time frame, so far.

Also is this her family listed in this post? http://genforum.genealogy.com/janes/messages/803.html

Roane County (formed from Knox, 1801 then expanded with land from Indian Territory, 1803)

Re: William Janes of England, daug. Mary born 1660 married to John Farrington of Dedham, MA

memmathis — 2009-07-04 17:47:18Z

I think you are describing the William Janes that Rev. Frederic Janes wrote about in 1868 - see:

http://books.google.com/books?id=egN0uNYkLioC&dq=The+Jan...

I don't see a daughter Mary listed for him, but there are known errors in the book...and some of the information needs to be taken with a grain of salt. There are also many times where he says he supposes or thinks.

William Janes of England, daug. Mary born 1660 married to John Farrington of Dedham, MA

valerbee — 2009-07-03 00:14:57Z

I'm looking for any info on William Janes (and descendants) who may have been born in England around 1610 and who died in Northampton, MA about 1690. His wife was named Mary. They had a daughter Mary Janes who may have been born about 1660 in Northampton who married John Farrington of Dedham, MA in 1777.

John Farrington and Mary Janes had a daughter Mary Farrington (b. 1679/80 in Dedham, MA, d. 1746 in Dedham) who married John Cobb (b. prob. in England, died in Dedham, MA)

Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks!

William Bradford (Major) who married Mary Griswald/Wiswell.
Joseph Bradford, who married Anna (or Anne) Fitch
Irene (or Irena)Bradford married Jonathan Janes

conniemoen_1 — 2008-11-15 02:43:55Z

Thank you. I'm sorry it took so long to get back to you.

I did find a Josie Janes married to a Robert Helm. And, a Robert Janes in Fulton, who had slaves, but still can't connect them to my Grandmother.

By the way, I messed up about my Grandfather Mullin's middle name. It was Lucious or Luchious, or that is what my mom told my sister. He was also known as "Washie Luch". And Eva was known as "Evie", I found these names on their gravestone in the Little Obion Cemetery, Wingo, KY in 2003.

So, I'm still searching! I'm looking into the cemeteries in Randolph (or Lawrence Co., Arkansas) because I think the Janes' I'm related to, "probably" came from this line.

Re: I HAVE A JANES FAMILY GENEALOGY BOOK 1868

santomarotta — 2008-10-28 13:56:48Z

Excuse me? What I have is a book- a publication- which I purchased as a genealogical act of kindness to offer to somebody researching their genealogy. If I was in, "that much need of the money" as you put it, I would not have purchased it to begin with. That being said, I would like to be reimbursed for it. It cost me $20.00 at an estate sale. What is messed up with that? It is no wonder this country is in the shape its in when somebody can call this, "messed up"! (and a Marine no less who understands what it is to serve!)

Hi

I was born in Slapton and my mother continues to live there. She is 83 and has lived there since she was 2. I am not aware of any Janes living in Slapton but went to high school with Peter and Martin Janes who now continue to run their family business in Edlesborough. Their father ran the business prior to this. They sell shoes and electrical goods to the surrounding villages, including Slapton.

Edlesborough is about 5 miles from Slapton.

This may be of no help to you but I thought I would contact you.

Regards

Ann
