    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.

    Sarah is not accounted for in her father James Lovelady's

    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
    Levi B Jones
    Mary E Jones
    Miriam Adelaide Jones is possibly who I have listed as Marion Jones, dau of Henry Turner
    Nathanial Jones
    Wallace Lee 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! :)

    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?

    Children:
    1. Nancy Jones was born in 1818 in Henry Co, Kentucky; died after 1823.
    2. Mabra* Madden Jones, Rev was born in 1820 in Cark Co, Kentucky (probably); died in 1902 in Palestine, Anderson Co, Texas; was buried in 1902 in East Hill Cem, Palestine, Anderson Co, Texas.
    3. Thomas Jefferson Jones was born in 1821 in Meade Co (possibly), Kentucky; died after 1880 in of, Long Valley, Mendocino Co, California.
    4. John W. Jones was born on 28 Jan 1822 in Henry Co, Kentucky; died in 1905 in Walnut Creek, Contra Costa Co, California; was buried in Lafayette Cem, Lafayette, Contra Costa Co, California.
    5. Susan Jones was born in 1826 in Meade Co, Kentucky; died after 1826.
    6. Eliza Ann Jones was born in 1832 in Meade Co, Kentucky; died after 1880 in of, Scott Co, Illinois.
    7. 5. Emmeline Jones was born in 1836 in Meade Co, Kentucky; died after 1860 in of, Scott Co, Illinois.
