Seeking information on three Jones brothers who lived in Eureka County, Nevada in the
1880's, apparently working as miners.
John W. Jones was born abt 1834 in Virginia, moved to Berrien County, Michigan in 1836,
and then moved to Nevada sometime between 1860 and 1875. He died sometime after 1907.
Two of his brothers, Abraham Stoner Jones and Josephus Jones also lived in the county with
him at various times.
Abram Stoner Jones was born abt 1846 in Berrien County, Michigan. He is listed on the
1880 Census as living in Eureka County, Nevada. He died after sometime after 1913.
Josephus Jones was born abt 1847 in Berrien County, Michigan. He is listed as living with
John W. Jones in White Pine County, Nevada on the 1880 census. He was later committed to
a mental institution in Reno, Nevada, where I believe he died around 1906.
All three were sons of James & Eliza Jones.
