Hello,
The only Jones people I have found and researched in my family are these. I am guessing
that the "foreign-born parents" were born in Wales, as that is where my
Davies/Davis and Rees/Reese people came from. Although the Hastings came from England.

Hello,
I am reposting this info in hopes of making a connection:
The private burial grounds known as the Jones-Taylor Cemetery (or Jones Family Cemetery)
is adjacent to the house at 9913 Philadelphia Road
The cemetery lot was used by William and Elizabeth Jones, and their descendents, including
the Taylor and Henry families and their descendents, as a private burial ground. The
burial lot is enclosed with an iron fence and a gate that has the names of William and
Elizabeth A. Jones worked into the iron design. As recently as 1926, a church (Jones
Memorial Methodist Episcopal) was also located on or next to the property, having been
deeded to the church by the Jones family.
The following information has been obtained from records held by the Baltimore County
Historical Society, obituaries, family history researchthat I have done, and information
copied from the tombstones in the cemetery.
Known burials are:
William Jones 1892
E.A. (Elizabeth) Jones 1899
Thomas Taylor 1890-1901
Kate Taylor 10 months and 10 days
Willie Henry
Jas K. P. Henry 1905
Mary R. Henry 1925
Naomi Taylor
Jessie Taylor
Gerald Taylor
Helen Fantom Davis
Ethel M. Henry Davis 1932
Samuel J. Davis
Walter Henry
Fanny M. Hastings 1950
Frank R. Hastings 1925
There are possibly other family members buried here as all records were not available and
my research is continuing.
Here is a brief family history that shows the relationships of the people buried in the
cemetery and will be happy to try to answer any questions you may have.
Family History Information for Known Burials in the Jones Family Cemetery (research is
ongoing)
Generation #1:
William and Elizabeth A. (nee ??) Jones were born in 1812- 1814 in
Maryland. William's parents and Elizabeth's mother were foreign born. Their
children include daughter Mary R. b. December 25, 1846 -1852 and (other
children ????)
In 1870, William and Elizabeth were in Little Gunpowder Falls where William
was a farmer. They lived next door to daughter Mary and her family. In 1880,
there is a possible match in the census for a William and Elizabeth Jones,
both age 65, in the 1st ward of Baltimore city. It lists William as a
Huckster, and states that he was born in Maryland and she in Virginia.
Previous census records show her being born in Maryland, but I believe this is them.
There was no one else living with them, and no obvious family around them.
Generation #2:
Mary R. Jones-Henry
Mary Jones married James KP Henry in approximately 1870. When daughter Jane
was born in 1870, they lived in Little Gun Powder Falls, with Mary's
parents. James helped on the Henry farm. Also living with them was John
GILL, b. and William Collins, b. Unknown relation of either of these two.
In 1880, James KP and Mary Henry were living in District 12 of Baltimore
County, with children Mary Elizabeth, b. 1871; James D., b. 1873, Francis (Fannie),
b. 1877 and Walter b. Jan. 1879. (Daughter Jane, presumably, had died)
By 1900, James and Mary were still farming, (District 15, Baltimore County)
and four of their 7 children were with them - Walter, b. Jan. 1879; Ethel,
b. Aug. 1883; Nellie, b. June 1885 and Bessie, b. August 1890. The older
children Mary Elizabeth, James and Francis were out of the house by 1900.
Four more children had been born but did not live.
Generation #3
Children of Mary Jones-Henry: (Eleven born - 7 lived)
Mary Elizabeth married George W. Taylor (b. 1864) approximately 1889. In
1910, they were on York Ave. next door to sister Francis. Brother Walter
lived with them and worked in a broom factory. They had at least two
daughters, Grace E. (b.1904) and Flora M. (b.1911). By 1920, they had purchased
a home at 2619 Greenmount Street. At that time, George was working as a
Piano tuner and Mary was a Barber (?) working at home. In 1930, the family
was still on Greenmount. By this time, Francis had bought the home next
door. Daughter was a stenographer in an office. (George was blind?).
Although neither Mary nor George is listed in the burials at the Jones
family cemetery, there are several who may be Mary and George's children:
Thomas Taylor, b. June 3, 1890, d. Sept. 20, 1901. Kate Taylor, aged 10
months and 10 days (no dates) and Naomi, Jessie and Gerald Taylor, none of
whom have stones. It is unknown what happened to Grace and Flora.
James D. Henry was married twice, the second time in 1907 to Anna M Sands,
b. 1886. He already had a son, Timothy E., b. 1903 from the first wife, and
together he and Anna had James S. in 1908 and Mary E. in 1909. In 1910,
Anna's older sister Elizabeth lived with them at 205 N. Luzerne Street.
Francis married Frank Hastings in 1897 in Baltimore. Frank was a house
painter whose parents arrived in New York from England. They had one
son, James Warren Hastings, born in 1898. In 1910, they were living at 2623
York Ave, next door to sister Mary Elizabeth and her family. Between 1910
and 1920, the Hastings bought a home at 2621-2623 Greenmount Street. Frank
continued to do house painting, and Francis, "Fannie," tended to the many
boarders they took in. J. Warren went on to become a well-loved and
prominent minister. Frank died in 1925 and Frances died in 1950.
Both are buried in the Jones' family plot. It is believed that Fannie Hastings may
have been the latest burial.
Frank Hastings' death certificate contains this information:
Health Dept. City of Baltimore, certificate # 96715, 2023 Greenmount Ave. male, white,
married, born March 15, 1855 70 years, house painter, date of death March 23, 1925,
cardiac, birthplace Alexandria? VA., father Arthur E. Hastings, born England, mother Addie
Pricher, English, informant Fannie Hastings, wife, burial, POPLAR, PHILA. Road, undertaker
E.A. Wiedifield, 501 E. 22nd. street
Walter lived with sister Mary E. Taylor and her family in 1910, next door to
sister Francis Hastings. He was an ironworker. In 1920, at age 40, he was
still single and boarding with the widow Sophie Gische. and was working as
a rigger in a shipyard. It is unknown if he ever married. He is buried in
the Jones family plot, without a marker.
Ethel married Samuel Davis, an interior decorator, approximately 1910 and
had two daughters, Mary (1912) and Martha. (1914) (Unknown relation of
Samuel Davis to our Davis'). In 1930, they were living on Philadelphia Road,
very near the Jones Family cemetery.
Nellie - Unknown
Bessie was married to George L. FANTOM (b. circa 1887 to John and Emma) and
had a daughter Francis in 1915. In 1920, they lived on Old Pimlico Road in
Baltimore, with Mary's mother Mary Henry. There is a Helen Fantom Davis in
the family cemetery - unknown who she is.

Hi Mona
Please read this with a smile and wait for the punch line below (poor that
it is)!
I take your point. "Loose" can have more than one meaning.
In my case, I use it as a simple way of highlighting those people in my
Trus(s)ler and related names Database who are still not connected to other
Trus(s)ler or Jones people, ie they are "loose pieces" in the very large jig
saw I am trying to put together.
Now, of course, some of them could be "Loose Loose" in which case they
really would take on the sort of meaning you talked about!
I must have some because I also have examples of that strange phenomena of
Mother's calling children born well after their husband has died by his
surname. But of course at that time the Lady is probably still known by his
name ie to some people she is still Mrs ...... his surname unless she has
reverted to her Maiden name!.
However, I also have the odd example of a Lady remarrying in the interim
who, whilst using her new Surname, still used her former (late) husband's
surname on her next born (perhaps her new husband objected to calling the
child his?)
Now she would be either a "bit loose?" or an exceedingly clever lady who has
found some sort of loophole in the system which gives her some sort of
financial advantage by taking this line!
But, could the former be perhaps called a "Loose, Loose, Loose" lady??
With that bit of corn, I think we should close this down before fellow
Mailers ask what it has to do with Carmarthenshire. I hope the contributors
to this storyline agree.
Apart from that, my best wishes to you all the Carmarthenshire members who I
have found most helpful since I joined recently. Some people have really
gone out of their way to help me to sort out some of my puzzles.
My best wishes to you also if you are related to one of my Carmarthenshire
Jones or Trussler relatives - in which case I would love to hear from you!
I was born in Llandybie in 1937 and went to the local school there until I
was about 7. My mother was the Trussler and my father was the Jones. As I
remember it we lived in the first house on a side road, which lay back from,
and was parallel to, Blaenau Road on the right about a third of a mile after
you left the village of Llandybie heading towards Pen-y-groes.
(I hope I'm getting these names right - it's been a long time!)
Best regards
