Harold Jones 12
John & Maude adopted Harold Jones son of Alva Aleck Jones (Maude's Brother) & Bessie Zerilda Lopossa Gross. There are rumors that they raised Bill Cassel (a child of Bertha), but I have found no info to support that, I am thinking bill, Could be short for William. Bertha did have a son John William Cassel. Still confirming info on the Bill thing, so far nothing. The family has a way of using the middle names, instead of first names.
Alva Aleck Jones
Birth 15 Sep 1880 in Putnam county IN
Death 13 Sep 1935 in Owen Co, Indiana
Age at death: 54 Harold was around the age of 16 when he died.
Bessie Zerilda Lopossa Gross
Birth 3 march 1891
Death 31 January 1921
Age at death: 29 Harold was around the age of 3 when she died.
All his sibling would of been adults when their father died.
I assume that due to the year of his mothers death & the fact that he is in the next census,
Harold went into the Murphy's care after 31 January 1921, around the age of 3 years old.
They raised him as their own. Siblings of Harold: Henry Jones, Mary Jones, Mortisha Jones.

Jesse was found in the 1850 census of Abington township of Wayne County, Indiana. He owned
$800 worth of land. Neither he or Sarah could read or write. He was next found farming in
Cloverdale township of Putnam County, Indiana in 1860-1870. He owned $2,600 worth of land
there in June 1870. On November 28, 1870 Jesse purchased 133 acres in Jackson (now Jennings)
township of Owen County. He owed back taxes on 21 acres of that land in 1873.
Jesse Jones died between 1873 and 1880, when Sarah is found in the 1880 Owen County, Indiana
census listed as a widow. She lived in Jennings township. It is likely that the family moved to Owen
County in the 1870's.

Jesse Jones
my 4th great grandfather
Birth abt 1816 in North Carolina, USA
Death 1873-1879
Theses dates are the narrowing from Census & other data.
Earlist document I have found was the 1840 census in Union County, Indiana
Jessie was alive in 1850 - 1870 census in Cloverdale, Putnam, Indiana, United States
Sarah was widowed in the 1880 census which occured early in the year, his last dealings with land was 1873
Census put's his birthdays 1815, 1816, 1817 which cast a large net, but he was born in North Carolina.
He was buried in Cunot Cemetery, Jackson Township, Owen County, IN, Usa
Children of Jesse & Sarah (young) Jones:
Elijah Jones 1840 – 1896
William Jones 1841 – 1913
James Jones 1846 –
