Notes for James Boyd Jones
James D. Reeder's Riddle charts say that John & Mary Riddle's daughter Nancy married James Boyd Jones. I don't have a marriage record for them.

He and Nancy are buried together in the New Alfrey Cemetery. His stone says J. B. Jones, May 7, 1844 - Mar 18, 1914. But he was listed as age 3 in 1850 and age 13 in 1860. It is not common for a six-year-old to be listed as 3, and it is quite common for elderly people to lose track of their exact age, especially when they were born before recording began, so I suspect the date on the gravestone is the one which is wrong.
