Searching for any info regarding the following family:
Andrew Jackson Jones, s/o Ransom Jones and Mary Creasman. he was bn 1837 in Buncombe Co. He married Elmyra Corn, bn 1837, d/o Silas Peter Corn and Margaret Elizabeth Cagle of Henderson Co.,N.C.
He moved his family to Cocke Co.,Tn. in abt 1869, following his uncle Russell Jones and his in-laws. Andrew died abt 1880, leaving his wife and the following children:
Francis ( Frank), bn May 1861
Mary Elizabeth ( Betty), bn abt 1867
Alice, bn 1873
M.A. ( daughter) bn abt 1875
Ida Belle, bn Sept 1880.
In 1880 census of Cocke Co. Elmira is widowed and her invalid father is living with her in Cocke Co.,Tn.
Frank md. Cora Davis in Cocke Co.,Tn. on May 7, 1892. They had three children..
Elmira bn 1898 and died as a baby
Myra, bn 1900
Avery Francis, bn Apr. 1903
Cora Davis Jones died before 1905
Frank md 2 in Cocke Co.,Tn. Lou or Lula Williams on Sep 9,1905. They had the following children:
Jesse, bn abt 1907 ( 1910 census he is male, 1920 female)
Jennie, bn abt 1908
Homer bn 1911
Horace, bn 1911 (unkn if this is correct as Horace also seen bn in 1913)
Ruth, bn abt 1915
Fred, bn abt 1917.
In 1918 Frank died in Jefferson Co.,Tn, while working as a tenant farmer on the Holbert farm. In 1920 Lula is still in the tenant farm house and her step-children Myra and Avery are working the farm. Before 1930 Lula is deceased and the children are dispersed.
In 1930 the children Horace, Ruth, and Fred are found at the Tennessee Baptist Orphanage in Williamston Co.,Tn. The only Homer found is in Washington Co. living as the adopted son of John A. Jones ( 79) and wife, Sarah (71). Jennie is a nurse in Newport, Tn. Myra is lost, Avery is married to Thelma Blazer in Jefferson Co. Jesse is lost and has not been located.
Avery Jones cont'd his life in Jefferson Co.,Tn. His children and grandchildren do not know what happened to his siblings. The graves of Andrew Jackson Jones and Elmira are lost, as are the graves of Frank and both of his wifes, Cora and Lou. We would like to find these other family members. Any ideas ?
