Hi,
I am new to the list but have browsed most past messages and enjoyed the
1891 newspaper and many other messages a great deal. I see lots of familiar
family names.
My grandmother Alice Jones was born in Pike County Indiana about 1890, her
parents were James Harvey Jones and Rachel Ann Beadles.
Rachel Ann Beadles was d/o William Green Beadles and E. Lanham, James Harvey
Jones was son of John 'General' Jones and Susanna Noe. Both James and his
dad John Jones served the union in CW in Indiana 58th Co. "I". It was known
as the Pontoon Unit.
The Jones, Beadles, Noes and many many other families of Pike migrated from
Mercer/Marion/Boyle Counties in KY to Pike about 1850. William Green
Beadles father was Ezekiel Beadles, Ezekiel's father was John Beadles.
I am looking for connections to Noe and Jones family. Alice Jones was about
7 years old in 1897 when her family moved by wagon train to Reno Ark, which
is in NE Ark, near Mo line. After a year in Reno James Jones bought a farm
in Ripley Co. MO, where he lived out the rest of his days. Alice md. Ezra
Brown and they first resided in Randolph Co. Ark and are in the 1910 City
Directory of Randolph Co. Ark. (which is on line ..Rootsweb Randolph County
Ark).
I will post what I have on Jones and Noe in a future message.
Regards
Linda
