Census Notes for William John Jones
1900 census of Rowan Co., KY, Peirce prec., lists as family #92:
Wm. J. Jones, 30, b. Apr 1870, farmer; Lou, 27, b. Jun 1872; married 10 years, 5 children, 5 living; dau. Bessie, 8, b. <Jan? Jun?> 1892; son Clell, 7, b. Jun 1893; son Howard, 5, b. Apr 1895; dau. Damie, 3, b. May 1897; dau. Inez, 1, b. May 1899; boarder Dora Foster (F), 15, b. Apr 1885, servant; boarder Jessie Foster (M), 20, b. May 1880, farm laborer. (This is next door to the family of James Boyd Jones.) The months of birth mostly do not match those given in obituaries, social security records, etc.3, but the years seem fairly accurate.

The boarder Jessie Foster is the son of Milt Foster and Emily Ellen Jones. (Emily Ellen Jones was a great aunt of William J. Jones. So although Jessie is 10 years younger than William, he is the first cousin of William's father.) The boarder Dora Foster is the daughter of Samuel Foster and Barbra A. Jones (William's sister.)
Notes for William John & Mary "Lou" (Family)
Rowan County marriage book 2, p. 10, records license issued 27 Nov 1889 for William Jones and Lou Hall, consent given by John Hall for "my girl", bond surety by James B. Jones.

Rowan County Marriage Register, Book A, p. 27, records marriage of William Jones and Lou Hall on 2 Nov 1889 at John M. Hall's by W. T. Hall, witnesses Clark Roberts and Sarah Roberts.

One of the dates must be incorrect, as I doubt very much that the license was issued 25 days after the marriage took place.
