Jones genealogy

 First visit to the Bethany Pioneer Cemetery where we were looking for our great grandfather John Rockmore Jones.

Just about had the whole cemetery covered when we finally found him. The cemetery is in the Howell Prairie area where the Cox family lived, the Cox's are Johns' step grandparents. The only family member I found in the cemetery was Lewis Napoleon Jones, Stephens' brother. I think but could not find Melvina Miller who is John Jones' mother in law should have been there as well.

 On the other side of town I was given the plat map to the original 640 acres that Stephen Jones was given in 1850 under the Oregon Donation Land Act. The following pictures are some of the property where our great grandfather grew up. The land was sold about 1874 after Stephens second wife Mary Cox died to man named John Mozier.

Enjoy the pictures, it gave me such an amazing feeling.

 The road runs straight through the property.

 Very close is the cemetery that Uncle Percy is buried, Percy is Pops(Roy) brother.
