Jones family - tennessee to choctaw nation
I'm looking for information on my great grandfather Joseph Stephen Jones.He was born in Tennessee in 1862.I'm not sure when he arrived in Choctaw Nation but he married a choctawwoman - Melissa Simmons - in the early part of the 1880's.They had two children - William P. and Myrtle Leanna Jones who were born in Skullyville.I was also told that Joseph Stephen had a brother who was a doctor who practiced medicine in Indian Territory.Joseph's wife died shortly after the birth of Myrtle Leanna and he married again to Nancy Ellen Biddie.If any of this sounds familar to anyone, I would love to hear from you.
