| Notes for William Henry Jones |
| "Past Images of Rowan County"7 lists William H. Jones who m. Lue Ellen Foster as a son of David K. Jones, giving his lifespan as "May 14, 1878-Apr 13, 1965", based on cemetery records. This birthdate is consistent with his marriage record. But William is not listed with the David K. Jones family in the 1880 census, when he should be 2 years old, and a son John age 2 is listed. So either his birthdate is wrong in both the cemetery and marriage records, or he is really not the son of David K. Jones, or his name was changed from John to William sometime after the age of 2. (I could not find any Jones family with a son William age 1, 2, or 3 in the 1880 censuses of Rowan, Morgan, Bath, or Elliott counties.) |
| Notes for Lou Ellen Foster |
Her death certificate (Vol. 28, #13836) records Lou E. Jones, died May 28, 1915 in Rowan Co., age 36 years 4 mos 9 days, married, occupation housewife, born Jan 19, 1878 in Morgan Co., Ky, father Robert Foster born Bath Co., Ky, mother Mary Ellen Farran born Rowan Co., informant not specified, cause of death pulmonary tuberculosis, place of burial Jones Cemetery, undertaker W. H. Jones, Morehead, Ky.
The date of birth and age at death are inconsistent; if the birthdate is correct, she was really 37, while if the age at death is correct, she was really born in 1879. The age on her marriage record, if correct, would imply a birthdate in late 1879 or early 1880. She is listed as age 1 in the 1880 census, which is consistent with a January 1879 date of birth. (It is also unlikely that she was born in Morgan Co., since the family was listed in Rowan Co. in both 1870 and 1880.) |
