HapyGirl Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I can't believe I didn't see this post before now. Oh WOW! I think there may be something here Snowmom. Here's what I have Charles Minor Jones b. abt 1823 in New York married to Lydia Melissa Perry She was born in IL, then they moved to Iowa. children: Louisa Fedora Jones b.October 08, 1852 in IL George Washington Jones b. February 22, 1854 Anna Belle Jones b. April 10, 1856 in ,Whiteside, IL James Crockett Jones b.August 22, 1856 in IL married Izora Christina Overacher. The Overacher family lived in Rome, IA Joel C. Jones b. March 20, 1860 in IA Jenny Lind Jones b. August 28, 1867 in , Fremont, IA Rose Estelle Jones b. Sydney, Fremont, IA Frank Benton Jones b. 1882 in ID Note the Benton! Possible connection there? Perhaps a grandfather or uncle in common? Something to look into The whole Overacher clan moved to ID, and Izora's younger sister Sarah married Joel Jones. Frank Benton Jones's descendents are the ones I got the photos from that I posted on Cat's page. The man with the bicycle is Frank as a young man. Quote Link to comment
logcabinmama Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 I'm glad you found this post now, Becca. Thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment
HapyGirl Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 I found my Overacher and Jones relatives Friday in the 1856 Iowa Census! The Jones family were right where I thought they should be in Sidney, Freemont, IA. But it turns out the Overachers were in ROME TOWNSHIP, Jones CO. not Rome, Henry, IA like I thought. I didn't have the county name before. Amazing how you just stumble accross these things sometimes Benton must have been a surname common to the area. I found a Benton township in Freemont county as well http://www.rootsweb.com/~iafremon/ A website about Mapleton you might enjoy Snow: http://freepages.books.rootsweb.com/~coove...western_35.html Quote Link to comment
logcabinmama Posted September 30, 2003 Author Share Posted September 30, 2003 Thank you Becca, I haven't been there before. I have been to the Mapleton, and Iowa County sites. Sure wish I could get a book that was printed a few years ago there. Quote Link to comment
