Hi Ed Jones,
I have a WALLACE family with connections to Ripley & Decatur Cos . . . .
. and to the JONES family.
Mary JONES, d/o Henry JONES of OH and Jane LEMASTER of KY, married Edward
WALLACE, s/o Samuel Martin WALLACE and Ursula HORTON in 1877. They had at
least 1 child, George, b. ca 1881 and died in 1890.
Ed, do you (or anyone else) see any connections with these lines to your
families??

Hello Ripley County Researchers,
It's been awhile since I posted my search for my gr gr grandparents.
Samuel JONES married Catherine (Kitty) VanPelt 8/18/1808 in Fayette
County, Ky. They came to Ripley County about 1820. Children were:
1. Samuel
2. Eliza who married James WILSON & returned to Ky.
3. Henrietta
4. Henry Crown born 5/2/1830 Ripley County & married Amanda
Elizabeth
Jones 1/10/1851 & lived in Decatur County. Henry & Amanda were my gr
grandparents. She was born 3/4/1831 in Mason County, Ky. Parents
were
James JONES & Rebecca COLEMAN.
5. Joseph
Court records in Ripley County have these children listed & records
state Samuel died 11/4/1834 in Ripley County. There seems to be no
mention of his wife Kitty in the records. I have searched many of
the
Ripley County Cemeteries but no luck finding Samuel or Kitty. I'm
searching for his parents & date of birth. The 1880 Decatur County
census records have Henry listed & lists Henry's father as being
born in
Md. I think Samuel Jr. remained in Ripley County when Eliza took the
other children with her to Ky. Would like to hear from anyone having
data regarding Samuel Jr. or any other members of this family.
Thanks in advance for your help.
