Doddridge Co, son of Thomas & Catharine Jones; and Hannah S. Armstrong, 22, single, b. Maryland, res. Marshall Co, dau of John M. & Ann M. Armstrong. Married Oct 22 1868 in Moundsville. NOTE: A second marriage record, in the form of a ledger entry (p. 24), provides the identical information with the one exception that the husband's mother's name is given as Caroline rather than Catharine. But his death record identifies mother as Catherine Smith, so Caroline is presumed to have been a clerical error. MR p. 42. (30) Death record of husband. (31) Doddridge County WV Marriages 1845-1937, Wes Cochran, 156 Gihon Meadows, Apt 150, Parkersburg, WV 26101 (Jan 1993), Identified as Silas O. Jones, 74, of Doddridge Co; and Mrs. Catherine B. Holt, 67, b. Garrett Co, res. Doddridge Co. Married Jan 29 1916. Event Notes Note (1) Birth date on headstone is March 1790. But age 55 in 1850 Census puts it in about 1795, age 64 in 1860 puts it in about 1796, age 73 & 83 in 1870 & 1880 put it in about 1797, and age 84 in his 1883 death record puts it in about 1799. Note (2) In 1880, in household of son Silas Note (3) Age 48 in 1850 Census would put birth in about 1802. Note (4) 1900 Census shows birth date as Jun 1842, but death record stated Jun 11 1841, and age given at both marriages would also put birth in about 1841. The 1920 Census of the household of son Edwin L. Jones incorrectly indicates the birthplace of both parents as Maryland.
