    There are also two boarders living with Robert and Cisly.

    Robert reports (or the enumerator erroneously writes) that his father was born in Arkansas, while his brother next door, William Thomas, reports he was born in Virginia, which seems to be correct.  In 1910 Robert reprots also that his father was born in Virginia.

    Robert Foote “Bob” Jones
    Birth Aug 1878 Arkansas County, Arkansas, USA
    Death unknown Arkansas County, Arkansas, USA
    Burial Rowland Family Cemetery, Ethel, Arkansas County, Arkansas, USA

    Robert Foote "Bob" Jones was born and lived his life in Arkansas County, Arkansas. The indications are that he was born and died in the community of Ethel, but we have reported only the county, having no more definite documentation.

    Bob was the son of William Foote Jones (1808-after 1880) and Mary Emily Leverett (Apr 1842-Aft 1910. Mary had been previously married to Benz Schmidt/Smith from Prussia, who died after the 1860 census. Mary and Bob married about 1868. Their first son, William Foote Jones, was born 12 November 1869.

    Bob died between the 1910 and 1920 censuses. It appears to be soon after 1901, since the last child was Robert Franklin Jones, born 13 November 1910. Family sources report he was buried in the private family cemetery on the Rowland-Jones family farm on Belleview Road in Ethel. The cemetery was started with the death of the first owner in this family line, Bedford Forrest Rowland.

    Bedford and his wife Maggie Ella McSwain lived in a house in the woods on the property. Bedford was buried in the field at the edge of that woods. Maggie's brothers later built a new house for her. The cemetery lies between the two houses. The farm is now owned by a McSwain family member.

    Robert's wife Ciscela Ola Holden later moved to Dallas, Texas, with her don Robert Franklin Jones. They both died and are buried in Dallas.
