Frederick V. Jones daughter Virginia Jones was born 1921 in Sparks, Nevada.
I need help locating more information on this family. It is my desire to meet living members of this family. I also descend from John G. Gilpin, but through his first wife.

Lucy was born Lucy Clayton Daughter of Evan Benbow Clayton and Mary B. Mills. She married William Jewel 06 Aug 1865. 1870 census shows her as Lucy Jewel living with Mother. No husband 1880 shows her as Lucy Gilpin. Her Sister Elizabeth never married so 1920 census is correct.
It appears Lucy last name Jewel was misspelled when she married John G Gilpin
