Velma was born in Arkansas, & probably her father died there. Her son Alexander is enumerated in Dallas in a separate household with his wife Ethel and two sons. 1930 Federal Census, Dallas County, Texas, 7 April, Dallas, District 57-52, page 18A, 1908 Clarence St, Hse #160, Fam #204 Jones, Alexander Head Rents $24 M W 31 [No report of age at marriage] AR AR AR Ditch Digger, City Construction Jones, Ethel Wife F W 26 TX TX TX Cafe Waitress Jones, Clyde Son M W 11 LA AR TX Jones, Clyde Son M W 10 LA AR TX Alex has two 1930 enumerations, one with his mother and another under his own household, with a wife named Ethel in Dallas in the 1930 census, with two sons born in Louisiana, agaes 11 and 10. So the oldest, Clyde, would have been born about 1919, while Alex was enumerated in his mother's household in Arkansas, as a single man. Clyde is also his brother's name which supports this being the correct Alex Jones in 1930, besides the fact that Alex and Ethel were also first reported in his mother's household in Dallas, then marked through, and reported later in their own household. Note that in Alexander and Ethel's record, there is no report of the age at which they were married. We do have that information, howver, because In the enumeraton of Ciscela's household, Alexander and Ethel were at first also reported as members of her household. Their listings are makred out, though radable. Apparently the enumarator realized they lived in a separate home (on Clarence St), so should not be listed in his mother's household. But the age at which they were married was included on his report in his mother's household. There is also a difference in the age reported for Ethel. Since the age at which Ethel is reported first married is greater than the current age reported on her own record, I will use the age reported in her record with Ciscela. But the difference between the age at whcih each is reported first married and the current age don't match. 1930 Federal Census, Dallas County, Texas, 7 April, Dallas, District 57-52, page 12A, 2216 S Ervay St, Hse #112, Fam #153 Jones, Ciscela Head Rents $20 F W 47 Widow MS MS MS No Occupation Jones, Clyde Son 22 M W 47 AR AR MS Farmer Jones, Robert Son M W 19 AR AR MS Laborer -- Jones, Alexander Son M W 30 First married at 27 [mar 1927] AR AR MS Laborer, City Construction [entered then marked through]-- -- Jones, Ethel Dau [Dau-in-law, wife of Alexander] F W 28 First married at 27 [mar 1929] TX TX TX Cafe Waitress [entered then marked through] -- Jones, Jones [sic] Son M W 28 First married at 27 AR AR MS Miller Jones, Leona Dau-in-law F W 21 First married at 20 TX TX TX Jones, Freda Granddau F W 6mos TX AR TX Jones, Joe W Son M W 25 First married at 24 AR AR MS Laborer City Construction Jones, Willie Dau-in-law F W 15 First married at 14 TX TX TX Jones, Billie Joe Grandson M W 3mos TX AR TX Criswell, Velma Dau F W 10 AR MS AR Laborer One anomaly in these 1930 records is that the age of Alex and Ethel's first son Clyde would place his birth before 1920, when Alex was enumerated in his mother's home and single in Ethel, Arkansas. Since Ciscela also tried to report him in 1930, along with his wife, when they were living in their own household, it may indicate his listing with her in 1920 was an error. No details have been found of Alex's and Ethel's marriage or the birth of these two boys. No birth records have been found in Louisiana searches, and no marriage record has been found in Louisiana or Arkansas. No divorce record has been found in Texas, whre a few years later Alex is married to Fannie Lee Fuller. Alexander was again enumerated in Dallas, Texas, in the 1940 census, and his wife was reported as Fannie Lee. From other records we know this was Fannie Lee Fuller. Fanny Lee first married Julius Lester Ford in 1923.

In 1940 Alex and Fannie are married but this census reported no period of time or age of marriage. In their household is Mamie, her 1-year-old brother Herbert, and two chidlren named Ford, Julian and Elizabeth. Elizabeth's birth certificate reports her father waa Julius Ford, matching other genealogy reports and public records. No record has been found for Fannie Fuller Ford in the 1930 census, either her maiden name or her first married name of Ford. No record of Julius and Fannie's marriage or divorce have been found, but Julian had two othe marriages and at least one of these ended in divorce. We will not try to reproduce those records here. The Robnette genealogy rpeorts their mariage, but with reference to no record, probably from family knowledge. Jerry Robnette reports that Alexander and Fannie married in 1930, in an unknown location. Maybe he meant after 1930. No marriage record has been found. But in reference to the birth record of their daughter Mamie Lee, it appears they married about 1936. Mamie was born 9 June 1937, according to her Social Security records. Her birth record has also not been found. Assuming they married before Mamie was born, her parents would have been married about June to September 1936.

Georgia, Compiled Marriages, 1754-1850 Augustus A [H] Jones Spouse Ann R Randle Marriage 8 Oct 1839 Jackson County, Georgia The 1850 census, which reports what appears to be the wife of Augustus H Jones as Ann Randle, age 26, or born about 1824. That means they would have married when she was only about 15! The really interesting Texas Jones descendants of Russell Sr. came down through Russell Jr., who married Sophia Harris and died suddenly of illness in San Felipe, Texas, in 1841. His son Augustus Harris [Jones], who arrived in Mexican Texas in 1835, escaped death at Goliad and the Alamo because he was off in the States raising money on Fannin's behalf for the Texian cause. Gus Jr., a cowman turn-of-the-century mayor of San Antonio, joined two other cattlemen to build the Saint Anthony, still a luxury hotel there. William Early Jones, a jurist who was hauled off to Mexico City in 1842 by General Woll while holding a commissioners court in San Antonio, became first editor of the San Antonio Express after distinguishing himself as an editor in Augusta, Georgia. -- James Jones, Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, Aug 30, 2017 -------------------------- Augustus Harris Jones came to Texas with his father and brothers, with a group called The Georgia Volunteers. Augustus was a personal friend of Col. James Fannin of the Texas Army. Augustus enlisted in the Matagorda volunteers on October 1, 1835, and he accompanied Mag [Major?] Ira Westover in the Lipantitllan Expedition October 30, 1835. He fought in the first battle of Goliad at Colita Creek with Fannin. Later Augustus went to San Antonio and was in the seige of Bexar, December 1835 where Ben Milam was killed. Then Col. Fannin sent Agustus to the United States to raise funds and enlist men for the Texas forces, and was in the United States when the Alamo fell. Augustus became Brig. General in the Texas Militia, and fought with Zachary Taylor in the war with Mexico, 1846/1848.

The really interesting Texas Jones descendants of Russell Sr. came down through Russell Jr., who married Sophia Harris and died suddenly of illness in San Felipe, Texas, in 1841. His son Augustus Harris [Jones], who arrived in Mexican Texas in 1835, escaped death at Goliad and the Alamo because he was off in the States raising money on Fannin's behalf for the Texian cause. Gus Jr., a cowman turn-of-the-century mayor of San Antonio, joined two other cattlemen to build the Saint Anthony, still a luxury hotel there. William Early Jones, a jurist who was hauled off to Mexico City in 1842 by General Woll while holding a commissioners court in San Antonio, became first editor of the San Antonio Express after distinguishing himself as an editor in Augusta, Georgia. -- James Jones, Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, Aug 30, 2017 Georgia mariage records report that Augustus Harris married Ann Roseanna Randle in 1839. She was still reported as Gus' wife in the 1850 census, so any earlier children would disappear to be the children of Ann. Some sources report that Gus Jr was the son of Minerva Lewis, another wife of Gus Sr. Georgia, Compiled Marriages, 1754-1850 Augustus A [H] Jones Spouse Ann R Randle Marriage 8 Oct 1839 Jackson County, Georgia In the 1850 census, we learn that Augustus was born just one month before the census date, so in about Septmeber 1850. His grandmother Sophia Harris Jones is also in his father's household. 1850 Federal Census, Gonzales County, Texas, 2 November, Peach Creek, p 650, Hse/Fam #15 Augustus H Jones 39 M (No Occup Reported) $4000 b Georgia [b abt 1811] Ann R Jones 26 F b Tennessee [b abt 1824] Wm Jones 9 M b Texas [b abt 1841] James Jones 5 M b Texas [b abt 1845] Sophia Jones 3 F b Texas [b abt 1847] Augustus Jones 1mo M b Texas [b abt Sept 1850] Sophia Jones 60 F b Georgia [b abt 1790] Barry G Anderson 5 M b Texas [b abt 1845] A J Berton 21 M b Texas [b abt 1829] Joshua Thredgill 42 M b South Carolina [b abt 1808] His obituary, posted on his memorial in Find a Grave, reports that he was to be buried in the Mission Burial Park, in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas. A photo of his gravestone is posted on the FAG memorial. The birth date there is the year 1859. But the 1850 census above shows he was 1 month old at census time in 1850. The birth year must have been remembered incorrectly or misrecorded at some point. His mother is there reported as Minerva Lewis, but if he was born in 1850, his mother was Ann Roseanna Randle, enumerated as the wife of Augustus H Jones Sr. Ann died in 1851. Minerva was the second wife after that, marrying Gus Sr in 1856. There is a discrepancy somewhere in the records. The census surely is right that Gus Jr was born 1 month before census time in 1850. But Gus' biological mother died when he was only one year old. Though in blood relationship, Minerva was Gus Jr's stepmother, she was the only mother he would have remembered and who raised him. His death certificate has these errors concerning his mother and his birth date, as well as his age as 54, rather than 64. I note that the informant is apparently his informant, Noa Spears. In the 1910 directory, Gus' position is "prest" at Noa Spears Co.

H. Jones, their late mayor and friend, as the body lay in state in the ballroom of the St. Anthony hotel this morning, before being taken to its resting place in the Mission Burial park. From 7:45 o'clock this morning until 10:20 o'clock, when the funeral service commenced, people passed in and out the room in a steady stream. The personnel of the sorrowing thousands who filed by the funeral bier for a last look at the man, who had been elevated to the highest office within power of the people to give, was a tribute to his personality and gave fitting indication of the position he occupied in the community and in the hearts of his fellow citizens. People of all walks in life were in the long line - bankers and street laborers, lawyers and clerks, merchants and mechanics all came to pay honor to the memory of the dead official. Women and children were there and policemen and firemen, heads uncovered and crepe on their badges, paid their last respects to their former chief. ... snip ... He was a man of robust honesty, one who hated hyprocrisy and sham. He believed in men and valued them for their worth as men. "Generosity was another of his sterling qualities. Never was a subscription list started for something worthy that his name could not be found there. In public life he did things worth while. He had a fair vision of a city with well paved streets and other improvements. It was his ambition to make that dream a reality and transform San Antonio into a lovely city. It may well be said that he expressed his mark of regal greatness in all activities of life. ... snip ... -- San Antonio Light, April 9, 1913 Parents: Augustus Harris Jones 1812-1877 Minerva Ann Lewis Jones 1828-1915 Spouse Sue Willie Peck Jones 1864-1939 Siblings: Zula Lee Jones 1863-1954 Kate Lynch Jones 1865-1941 Sue Lewis Jones Houston 1867-1951 Half Siblings: William Early Jones 1842-1900 James Cunningham Jones 1843-1882 Sophie Jones Allen 1848-1936 Charles Randle Jones 1851-1881 Created by Joan 18 May 2010 -- Find A Grave Memorial 52557844, https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/52557844/augustus-harris-jones --------------------------
