I'm not exactly sure what you mean by family information - are you asking for her ancestry?If so this should help:
Clarence and Alice married Nov 21, 1886, Cumberland Co IL.Alice would have been a minor - and I would think that a parent/guardian would have given permission for her to marry on the marriage license - so you may want to check with the county records to be certain this is your girl.....
1880 census, Greenup, Cumberland Co IL
55-55: Charles Jones, 26, farmer, IL, TN, IL
America E., 22, wife, IL, KY, Ind.
Elizabeth, 46, mother, IL, KY, IND
Aberham, 19, son, assistant (I believe these are Elizabeth's children as shown in the earlier census records), IL, Tn, IL
Rebeca, 16, assistant, IL, TN, IL
Dorcas, 14, assistant, IL, Tn, IL
Clark, 11,IL, TN, IL
Allice, 9,IL, Tn, IL
Henry Sherwood, 32, laborer, OH OH OH
J Bumgarner, 22, laborer, IL, IL, IL
William Busic, 15, laborer, IL, OH, IL
Arthur Dobins, boarder, teaching, IL, OH, OH
Harva Huton, 23, boarder, student, IL IL IL
I noticed in the 1900 census that the neighboring house to Clarence and Alice had:
364-364 Dora Carrell, born Mar 1867, 33, widowed, IL, IL, Ind
Horace C., son, born Feb 1890, 10, IL, IL, IL
Ethel, dau, born Oct 1893, 6, IL, IL, IL
Edmund, son, born Oct 1896, IL, IL, IL
Elisabeth Jones, mother, born Feb 1835, 64, widowed, Ind, Ind, Ind.
I began to suspect that Elisabeth was the mother of both Dora and Alice since they were next door to each other....but that 1880 census made me think possibly not, since there was a Dorcas not a Dora....and I found her marriage: George C. Carroll and Dora Jones, Feb 7, 1889, Cumberland Co., IL.Then I located them in the 1870 census:
246-246, Greenup, Cumberland Co IL:
246-248: Harrison Jones, 45, farmer, 2500, 300, TN
Elizabeth, 38, Ind
Charles G., 16, IL
Abram L., 9, IL
Rebekah A., 6, IL
Dora Ann, 3, IL
Clark 10/12, IL, born in July
So, Dora and Alice are siblings, and Elizabeth is their mother.
1860 census: Cottonwood, Cumberland, IL
1335-1334 Harrison Jones, 38, farmer, 1400, 1200, TN
Elisabeth, 26, Ind
Mary E., 14, IL
George M., 13, IL
Leucy A., 11, IL
Charles G., 5, IL
John L. Davis, 16, IL
(there is a Davis family next door too)
1850 census: Hurricane, Cumberland, IL
81-81 Harrison Jones, 30, farmer, 250, T
Rebecca H., 27, TN
Martha H., 4, IL
Mary E., 3, IL
Geo M., 2, IL
Lucy H, 1, IL
I checked family searh website, and found someone's had posted information (no sources given) and some of the information is incorrect according to the census - so it needs to be verified: says Harrison is the son of Samuel Jones and Martha Davis, said he died in the 1890's in Missouri - which you know is not true because Elisabeth is a widow in 1880 - so I would put his death sometime between Alice's birth in 1871 and 1990 when Elisabeth is a widow.It also shows a third marriage after 1880,Further this posting says that Elizabeth is a Wright and the first wife was Rebecca Wall, married 14 Apr 1842, Clark Co IL.
Hoping this is of help to you, this is not my family. Trish Elliott-Kashima
