My Grandma, Alice Jones was 7 years old when her family left Pike County
Indiana for Reno Arkansas. They moved about 1897, in a wagon train with
others. After about a year in Reno her parents (Rachel A. Beadles and
James Harvey Jones Jr.) bought a farm in Ripley County, Mo. which is
just over the arkansas state line.
I wonder who those other families were, and am curious if there were
other Pike County Indiana famlies that moved to this part of Ark/MO
before or after the Jones family did.
