Alexander Newton Jones

 Generation No. 1

1.  ALEXANDER NEWTON⁷ JONES  (JAMES CAMPBELL⁶, EVAN⁵, ISAAC JR.⁴, ISAAC SR.³, HENRY², FRANCIS I¹) was born 19 Jul 1847 in Livingston, Overton Co., Tennessee, and died 09 Jun 1926 in San Diego, San Diego County, California.  He married MARYANNE SMYTHE 12 Sep 1872 in Parker County, Texas, daughter of JOHN SMYTH and MARY BLANTON.  She was born 03 Mar 1856 in Kentucky, and died 16 Nov 1939 in San Diego, San Diego County, California  (At Age 83). 

     In 1898 the family left Texas in a covered wagon headed for California.  My grandmother Winnie B. Jones was 7 years old.  She told many stories of their journey.  At one point the wagon overturned in a swiftly flowing river and they lost all of their possessions.  Some of the trails were really just deep ruts and when wagons met others along the trail someone had to take their wagon apart and carry them around the other ones that were going the opposite direction.
