Our Family History

Abt 1843 - Bef 1880 (~ 36 years)

Letter - 1872, 08/25

Mary M Jones Norton to her beloved aunt, lamenting about family affairs and speaks word that Pa had moved into the "Devils Pocket" (?), and speaks of her and Mr. Norton's possible move to Northern Texas.
She speaks of a family Rabb. Mrs. Rabb was a Jones, and interestingly enough, they lived next door to the Loveladys and only a two or three residences down from the Mabra Jones in Dewitt County in 1860. However, further research has not found any connection of the two Jones families. Ulysses Rabb served as sheriff in Fayette County in the 1880s.
