After months of sickness Major E. H. Wells died last Monday morning, a 1 o?clock, at the residence of his son-in-law, W. H. Southard, surrounded by his sons and a daughter, their wives and husband.

Major Wells descended from good old Virginia stock, his parents having emigrated from Winchester, Va. to Louisville, Ky., at an early day, where he was born on the 4th of March, 1827.

They afterwards moved to Illinois, where he grew up to manhood and was married.

He was the father of seven children, four sons and one daughter still living to mourn his loss.

At the time of his death he was 59 years, 5 months and 19 days old.

The funeral, which took place on Monday afternoon, at 3 o?clock, was largely attended, and was under the direction of the Order of Chosen Friends, of which he was an honored and beloved member.

At the Residence Rev. S. L. Sanford read several passages from the bible and offered up a prayer, and at the grave P. K. Faulds and Mrs. S. M. Haskett, officers, read the beautiful funeral services of the Chosen Friends, while at both places the choir, consisting of Mrs. J. H. Seawell, Mrs. W. L. Bransford, Mrs. P. K. Faulds and S. H. Rice, sang appropriate pieces.

Hi Sherry,
Hope all is well with you and family.
Sandy and I are currently in Salt Lake City and so you now know what we've been doing.
I found Stephen Jones, finally. He and a couple sons did move to Contra Costa County, CA in 1853. He's on the 1860 census and he died in 1863 at the age of 71. Found his grave too and now have his birth and death date.
According to what I found, he lived in Henry Co. KY, then Harrison Co. IN for a short while, then to Meade Co. KY about 1822 until 1836, then to Scott Co. IL for two years, then to Platte Co. MO until 1844, then back to Scott Co. IL until 1853. Still haven't found Mariah, but I assume she died in Meade Co. KY. She is not on the 1840 Platte Co. census. Also found Stephen and the Loveladys and the Linvilles on an 1839 Platte Co. tax list.
Been hard at work trying to find Stephen's beginning too, but still have not found them.
We're stopping at Iowa City to see Becky on the way back and I'll write with more when we get back next week.
TIll then,
John

JOHN W. JONES. - This much respected old pioneer, the subject of our sketch was born in Henry county, Kentucky, January 28, 1822. When but an infant his parents moved to Harrison county, Indiana, and after a short residence there removed to Meade County, Kentucky, where he was educated at the common schools, and resided until fourteen years of age. In 1836 he moved west to Scott County, Illinois where he resided for two years, and then moved to Platte County, Missouri, where he engaged in farming until the Spring of 1844. He then spent the next three years in boating on the Mississippi river, and in 1847 again settled in Scott county, Illinois where he resided until March 1853, when, with ox-teams, and accompanied by his wife and family, he started to cross the plains to the Golden State; after a trip of six months he arrived at his brother's place (Thomas) in Lafayette, Contra Costa county, where he remained the first year, and in October, 1855, bought his present valuable place, consisting of three hundred and ten acres one mile southwest of Walnut Creek, where he is engaged in general farming and stock-raising. Mr. Jones was united in marriage in Exeter, Illinois, May 30, 1852, to Miss Martha J. Arnold,, a native of Tennessee, by which union they have one son: Henry T.

Died:
Stephen Jones (1795-1863) was married to Mariah Madden. She died bef 1840 in Illinois; and in 1853 Stephen traveled to Lafayette with his son John W. Jones to meet up with John W's brother, Thomas Jones, who was already there. Stephen, and several of the family are buried in Lafayette Cem (as indicated below).

If you are researching this family, or if you are a descendant, I would love to trade info with you, and more importantly, meet you. I descend from another of Stephen's sons, Mabra Jones, who had traved to South Texas and settled in Victoria Co, about 1845.

Also, if anyone is local to this cemetery and would be willing to snap a few digital pictures, I would very much greatly appreciate some pictures of these headstones - particularly Stephen Jones as he is my 3rd g-grandfather.The

I've ID'd most of the Joneses listed, but these following names I do not have:
Elizabeth Jones

Mary E Jones
Miriam Adelaide Jones is possibly who I have listed as Marion Jones, dau of Henry Turner
Nathanial Jones

___________________________
Two Madden cousins were also with the Joneses in Lafayette
-- Mabra Madden (b 1829 m Maggie Shafer) and Richard Madden (b 1838, m Emma Southard), sons of two of Mariah Madden Jones' brothers.

The Lafayette Cemetery has listed three Madden graves, one being William T Madden, an 8-month old son of Richard and Emma. The other two I do not know who they are, Jerry Madden (d 6 Apr 1948) and Johannah Madden (d 15 Dec 1933).

Looking forward to hearing from anyone interested in this family! :)

Stephen* married Mariah* Madden on 26 Mar 1817 in Winchester, Clark Co, Kentucky. Mariah* (daughter of John* Madden and Catharine* Bonham) was born on 6 Nov 1795 in Frederick Co, Virginia; died before 1837 in Meade Co, Illinois (possibly). [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Subject: RE:

Well, we know that she died after her last child was born 1834 and before the 1839 tax list of Platte Co. MO.

My guess is that the family moved from Meade to Scott IL after her death, then to Platte and then back to Scott.

If she died at Scott Co. IL, there is no marker, yet everyone else who died there has a headstone.

Really doubt that she got as far as Platte and there are poor records at Meade. So just my guess, but that's where I think she's buried.

Which mean that she probably died between 1834 and 1837? Or was that 1836 when they went to Scott for the first time?

1833: He was already living in Harrison Co, Indiana, when his brother William joined him. Best guess is he went to Indiana sometime between 1819 and 1821. George was b 1818 in KY, and Matilda m in Indiana in 1822. Son Isaac must have returd to Kentucky for his bride in 1823 as he would have been 12 or 14 at the time of removing to Indiana, unless he stayed back with someone, not going with the family. Son Samuel also married in KY in 1828. Apparently they stayed in Indiana until at least after 1836 when Caroline married.

Note: Corydon was Indiana's capital from 1813 to 1825 when it became Indianapolis.
Settlers began arriving in Harrison County soon after 1800. Most records such as wills, deeds, and marriages begin in 1809. A few genealogies tell of squatting a few years earlier. Streams were the basis of travel and the first settlers found farms near them. Travelling down the Ohio by raft the settlers poured in from Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Many Southerners came to Indiana to avoid the slavery issues. Most slaves were by maters upon crossing into Indiana.
Most of Harrison County's earliest settlers found farms along the forty-mile Ohio River border or the tributaries in the southern half of the county. One of the earliest was the well-known Indian fighter, Squire Boone, brother of Daniel. He sled after 1802 and built a large grist mill on Buck Creek. After death his remains were entered in a small cave nearby where he once escaped marauding Indians. Boone relatives built Old Goshen Church in 1813, which is the oldest in the county, and the oldest Baptist church in Indiana. Boone relatives still live in the area.

1837: Settled in Scott Co, Illinois.

Just got the Madden Probate records today. I just skimmed - not a heck of a lot there.
His son George sued the estate of John for work on the farm since 1840. The executor was Henry Steward, who, apparently was a doctor and was owed quite a bit too. Have signatures of Catharine and John (yes Catharine wrote it with an 'A', so I guess that makes it official. John died intestate.
Stephen and John W. Jones are barely mentioned. List of personal property comes to $175 or so, way short of the monies owed. Remains to be seen about Real property - did not see anything on it, assuming that he even owned any. I will copy and send soon - I haven't even developed the pictures yet.
John

By the way, I would guess that the Henry Steward household might be a good place to look for Catharine after 1850.

Property:
Boone Twp Rissler land
Boone Two, Harrison Co, IN
From the 1876 Illustrated Historical Atlas of Indiana showing Catharine (Boone) Rissler's purchase of 160 acres in Section 29 in 1825 (highlighted in yellow) surrounded by numerous other land patent purchases by the Boone families, which are believed to have been Catharine's relatives and, at least, one of the reasons she relocated to southern Indiana from Virginia. Squire Boone Jr., the patriarch of this group of Boones, is shown in Section 24 where he had constructed his grist mill. His sons buying patents were Moses (Section 21), Isaiah (Section 18) and Jonathon (NE Section 32). Squire's cousin Samuel Boone stayed in Kentucky but several of his sons came to Indiana buying land in Harrison County: Samuel (NE Sections 18 & 20), George W. (NW Section 28) & Hiram C. Boone (SE Section 32). John & William Madden purchased land patents in Section 32 just west of the town of Laconia. Two of Catharine's children married Maddens and the John & William Madden shown on this map are believed to be uncles of those children. The William Madden of Section 32 served in the Virginia Line in 1781 as well as War of 1812 service in Virginia as a teamster. His family moved from Frederick County Virginia to Harrison County Indiana in 1817.
Caldwellhoff originally shared this on 21 May 2014

americanheritage13 Cousin Caldwellhoff, I believe I'm on to something. The Madden's on this map are related to Sarah Rissler's Husband William Madden. The above William was his Uncle if I'm correct. This could be why Catharine went to Harrison County after John's death. The Maddens and the Boones were all in the milling business. Squire Boone had a grist mill. Catharine's son's were almost all millers. Maybe she moved in with the Madden's before she got her land patent in 1825. Why can't we find her on a census record in Harrison County?
