| Notes for Isaac Newton Jones |
Most data on the Isaac Jones family other than census notes is from correspondence with Elaine Winkler.23 , including the name and parentage of Isaac's wife Jane McDaniel.
The two daughters named Lucy Ann is not an error. The first one died at age 11, and when the next child born was a girl, she was also given the name Lucy Ann, but she was always called "Sissie".
Isaac Jones had a large farm partly in Rowan Co. and partly in Elliott Co. In his will he states "I gave to my son, Wells C. Jones, a certain boundary of land beginning at the falls of the first branch above the second crop fence, then west with the cliffs to the falls of the next branch. Then up the branch to the Widow Cornett's line, then east with her line to the first branch aboe the second cross fnece then down the branch to the beginning". Also mentioned in his will were children James D., Levi G., Albert, Hezakiah, George, William F., John, Martha Ann, Mary, Lucyann, Frank, Robert H., and William T., as well as son-in-law Joseph Farman (Foreman). ("Widow Cornett" was Ceattie (Morris) Cornett, the widow of Wesley Cornett.)
Obituary in Ashland Daily Independent and Rowan Co. News, dated June 1, 1882, "Died at the residence of his son-in-law, Joseph Foreman, in this county, on Saturday morning last, of consumption, Isaac Jones, an old citizen. Mr. Jones was upwards of 60 years of age, a kind hearted, honest man."23 (Elaine Winkler's charts give Isaac's date of death as 1 June 1882, but that is the date of the obituary notice. The Saturday previous was May 2x.) |
| Census |
1850 census of Morgan Co., Ky, lists as family #127:
Isaac Jones, 29; Jane, 26; Lemon, 7; Hezekiah, 5; Franklin, 4; Robert, 3; Wells, 2; William, 1; William, 65. All b. in Ky. (The elder William is the son of Ambrose Jones.)
The next household, #128, is the following:
William Sargent, 73, b. NC; Lucy, 68, b. Va; Francis, 16, b. Va; Selina, 14, b. Ky; Martha, 11, b. Ky; William Jones, 7, b. Ky.
(According to Kathleen Cole, the William Jones with this family is William Fleming Jones, son of Isaac N. Jones & Jane McDaniel.)
1860 census of Rowan Co., Morehead, taken June 5, lists as family #38:
Isaac A. Jones, 39, farmer; Jane, 38; Fleming, 17; Hezekiah, 15; Ben. F., 13; Robert H., 12; Wills C., 11; William T., 10; Lucy A., 9; Martha L. M., 8; Sarah E., 7; John, 6; George W., 5; Elias P., 3; James D., 3/12. All b. in Ky.
1870 census of Rowan Co., Christy Creek prec., lists as family #3:
Isaac A. Jones, 49, farmer; Jane, 47; William, 21; Martha, 18; Sarah, 17; John, 15; George, 13; Elias, 12; James, 11; Levi, 10; Albert, 9; Lucy, 7; Mary, 5. All born in Ky. None of the family can write. Only Sarah, John & George can read. (James cannot really be 11, since he was 3/12 in June of 1860. So probably the ages of Levi and Albert are also inflated by a year. Note that Lucy age 7 is the second daughter named Lucy, the first having died in 1861.)
1880 census of Rowan Co., Christy Creek prec., lists as family #414:
Isaac Jones, 53; w Jane, 50; d Ellen P., 22; s James D., 20; s Levi, 18; s Albert, 17; d Lucy A., 16; d Mary A., 15. All born in Ky. (It seems certain that the "daughter" Ellen P. is really their son Elias P.) |
| Census Notes for (Nancy) Jane McDaniel |
| Jane's year of birth is only approximate. She was listed in the census as 26 in 1850, 38 in 1860, 47 in 1870, and 50 in 1880, as 82 in 1910 (when she is listed with her son Elias), and as age 92 on her death certificate. I have entered her birthdate as about 1824 only on the basis that age estimates tend to get less accurate as a person gets older. |
