Brother and Sisters of Rebecca Margaret Jones

Above: Joseph Alvah Jones (left) and Benjamin Artemus Jones (right). Uncle Alvah and Uncle Ben.

Left and below: William Pou Jones (Uncle Pou).

Above: Claudia E. Jones (Aunt Tod).

Left: Amanda Florella and Cornelia Ann Jones (not known which is which). One of these ladies, or Aunt Tod, was what Uncle James called a "high stepper."

These ae the children of Lewis Jones and Ann Elizabeth Pou. Brothers and sisters not pictured are James Rufus Patrick Jones, Henry William Jones, Lewis Pou Jones I, and Theodore Adolphus Jones (Uncle Dolph). Uncle Dolph was shot through the head during the Civil War and thought to be dead until he "kicked the Yankee that was trying to steal his boots." He came home from the war and eventually drank himself to death. There is understandably no picture of Uncle Dolph.

POU ARMS
Rebecca Margaret Jones's mother was Ann Elizabeth Pou. On the left is drawing by Margaret Jones Hart; right is a coat of arms found on the internet.

There is a document concerning "Uncle Pou":
