    oh, forgot to mention the file texaspatty10 also had Laura's name as Davis -- but nothing else. Got to be a way to verify that. That info originated from somewhere. Where there's smoke.... da da da. :) We'll find it!

    Thanks Sherry..I needed some expert guidance on this, I could not piece the puzzle together. I'm going to change back to Davis as maiden and Moak as alternate. - Jordan
    re: Laura's last name
    Sherry Sharpadded this on 18 Jun 2010
    I got all excited, "He found her!" - but when I looked at the census records -- don't think it's the same person. The Laura in the Meaux family in 1900 is 16, birth month, April 1884. She's too old to be ours. Our Laura is consistently born 1894, give or take a month (1910 she's 17 -- 1920 she's 25 -- 1930 she's 36). Also, if Moak is right (looks like it is!) the SS gives her birth as 12 March -- not April. So I really don't think Laura Meaux is Mrs. Laura (..) Cornwell Jones. If your aunt is right, that her name was Moak, then that raises a question. Laura was about 38 when she and Harvey split - considering Amos was b 1934. It's very likely she would have married again (to Moak?) and died with that married name. But if Moak was her maiden name, then why would she have gone back that far into life to be using it at death. Does your aunt have any more info about that? I asked my mom - again - she doesn't know, but she said Davis sounded familiar to her, but that's as far as she could say. I'm bettin' that Moak was another husband. I found a living descendant of Laura/Cornwell thru their son Allen - but can't find how to get in touch with them - other than it looks like they're in Angelina County. There's a tree on Ancestry that has a little bit of this -- texaspatty10 -- at least it's a couple of leads to somebody who might know. What I found is posted on my site. If you want to get into my site to see the living dates, I'll tell you how to sign in thru email. but it goes like this: 2 Allen Taylor Cornwell b. 22 Jun 1910 d. 21 Oct 1977 married Maxine Celestine Marble b. 01 Jan 1922 d. 30 Mar 1990 3 Patricia Eugenia Cornwell b. 27 Nov 1961 + James Dorvin Cook b. 30 Aug 1960 Patricia and James div and James remarried Lisa Carter in 2002. Did not find another marriage for Patricia. (If you will, shoot me an email if you reply to this because Ancestry doesn't seem to send a notice that a reply has posted.)

    Jordan Jonesadded this on 14 Jun 2010
    Thanks..Sherry. I heard from my Aunt Valli Jones (Dad's sister) that it was Moak, which is why I had it initially Moak, and also included it as an alternate name in ancestry.com. I found some information on Moak in Louisana, but it seemed to blend with Meaux, so still unsure on this one. Thanks, Jordan
    Laura's last name
    Sherry Sharpadded this on 13 Jun 2010
    Well, I'm going to back to unknown on her maiden name. I contacted the guy who had her name as Davis and asked where he got it. He had no clue, just stuff people had given him, etc. I also looked through his file as he shares the Shermans and Sheltons (Harvey Sr's mother was a Sherman) and he's got more than a few mistakes. So, I'm leaving a note that Laura might be a Davis - but put her name back to Mrs. Cornwell in my file. I did look a pretty good while for a Laura Davis and found nothing, not that that's conclusionary in any way, but I think this "Davis" name clue is just too weak.

    From Sherry Sharp (cousin) Hi, Jordon! Is your dad Robin Jones? I don't have you in my file! But I'd sure like to! :)) You sent me scurrying to look for Laura's name and I I actually just found it. She was a Davis. My mom remembers her daughter Lolette because she said Lolette worked in a dress shop and mother would buy dresses from her. Looks like Laura died in 1978 in Beaumont. I'm finding this info in a tree on Ancestry. But I also found your site at Rootsweb http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=11271979&id=P107249359 It looks like you have a little mixup on Sr. and Jr. Harvey Jr. was married to Anna Belle Davis on 13 May 1944. Laura Cornwell (we now know was a Laura Davis) was married to Sr. Umm, wonder if the father/son married into the same Davis family. The site I found has the parents and siblings of Columbus Cornwell but nothing more on Laura Davis other than the death year. I'll post the info on him into my file. If you can get into Ancestry, the tree I looked at is roysherman52. Do you know if Laura remarried after Harvey? We might could find her death cert if we knew what last name she was going by. Thanks for contacting me! Please send me the info on your line that I don't have!! :)) Nice to meet you, cuz! Sherry oh, would you please write back to me at lumoto@aol.com so the mail will go into my Windows Mail. Thanks!!

    Research Notes:
    A couple of researchers have her maiden name as Davis, though there is no documentation and nothing to verify it. Valli Jones has family info that her last name was Moak, and there is a SS death record for Laura Moak with her birth date. Hunter Mabry says her maiden name was Davis, and Janie said she found some documentation with the name Moak.
    So, best guess for now is that sometime after div from Harvey, which was around 1938, she remarried someone named Moak. So far no documentation other than the SS death index.
    ___
    1937 only Moak in Beaumont is Julian L Moak, Moak the Broker, (insurance and real estate) and wife Elizabeth.
    1939 Moak the Broker and Bessie Moak, wid of Henry M
    1947 Moak the Broker
    Moak Emmett J Moak Meat Co 4665 Port Arthur Road
    Moak Oliver J (Clotee B; City Dry Cleaners) h 5195 Irving
    There were a few Moaks in Mid-County, but none with a wife Laura.

    Since she died in Beaumont as Laura Moak and there were none eligible Moaks in Beaumont up to 1947 in the city directory -- assuming she married some years after her div from Jones.
    Some city directory entries showed a Mrs Laura Jones as hairdresser -- need to find out if she was a hairdresser.
