Notes:

granddad

John (Jack) A. Jones was the second husband of Martha A. Taylor Dickson. After the death of John H. Dickson, Martha remarried. The family story is that Jack Jones never allowed discussion of the first husband, the father of Martha's children. As such, they never got along with him and left home early.

According to the marriage records of Crawford Co, AR, a Jack Jones,age 21, married Caroline Baker, age 20, on 24 Apr 1878. This could have been the first marriage of this Jack Jones, but I think not. the ages do not correspond very well at all to those reported in the census. They would work, however, with the age of Zena Jones, the daughter of Jack Jones. Perhaps the ages on the marriage license are in error.

A second marriage record is found in Crawford Co. on 11 Jan 1890 for John A. Jones and Mrs. Sue Dickson. This appears to be the record for his marriage to the widow of John H. Dickson. However the name is in error. A notation in the margin of the record says that this record was mailed to Jack Jones in Rudy, Crawford Co., AR on 5 Sep 1896. The Jones family definitely lived in the small town of Rudy. Married granddad's grandmother after grandfather died. Never allowed discussion of first husband.

Notes:

Martha remains a mystery. While a marriage record for a J.H. Dickson to Martha A. Taylor exists in Desoto Co., MS in 1873, no other Taylor information has been found. In 1870, a J. Dickson appears to be enumerated with a Wm. Taylor family in Desoto Co. But no Martha is in that family.

In the 1880 Prairie Co., AR census, Martha and John Dickson are enumerated. However, after that, Martha's name gets difficult to trace. She is enumerated with Jack A. Jones in 1900, but the name given is Emma. Maybe that's M. A. One of her step-daughters was named Emma, as well. However, in the marriage return for her marriage to Jack Jones, she is listed as Mrs. Sue Dickson.

MARRIAGE: IGI M516843, 1051

Though I found her in the 1880 census for sure, I'm not certain about 1900. I found the household of Jack A. Jones, her second husband, as well as her children in this household. But, in 1880, she is listed as Martha A. and in 1900 she is listed as Emma S. The length of the marriage is such, though that I think this must be the same person.Her father and mother are reported from GA in 1900. 1900 census lists her birthdate as Sept. 1858.

Perhaps the key to finding Martha is to concentrate on her children by her second marriage. Maybe the Jones family has some information. Moreover, Clida Taylor is listed as a step-niece of Jack Jones in the 1900 census. That gives credence to the Taylor connection. Probably she is the daughter of one of Martha's brothers. Look for Taylors near the Jones family in Arkansas, as well as near them in Mississippi and Alabama (near Dicksons).

In the 1880 census, Martha reports that she has had 6 children, of whom 5 are living. In the 1910 census, it says she has had only 1 child. From this, I would surmise that there were two children with Jack Jones, one of whom who died

Perhaps, she was Martha Susannah Taylor. There is a Taylor family on the next page of the census in 1870 with a Susannah, age 12, which would fit Martha. See Desoto Co, T5R7, dwelling 372. It appears that her mother is Martha and that she has an older brother W. A. Taylor. This leaves us still with no father for her.

---
Given that Martha A. Taylor is later on known as Susannah, let's focus on that.

Just one page over from the David Dickson family in the 1870 census, there is a W.A. Taylor family with a daughter, Susannah. She was born in 1858 in Alabama, which is consistent with what has always been reported for the wife of John H. Dickson. This may be a really good lead. This family is headed by W.A. Taylor, but he is only 22 years old. I would propose that he is an older brother to Susannah. There is a Martha that is 40 years old that is likely the mother.


Birth:
Based on census responses, her parents might have been from Georgia or Alabama. She was likely born 1856-1858. There are several likely candidate families in Alabama and Mississippi that need more research to narrow down which might be hers.

Minnie's delayed birth certificate says she was born in Tennessee and was 29 when Minnie was born.

Name:
She seems to have gone by both names.

Census:
In the famiy of George W Shifflett & Minnie Z Shifflett, a Martha S Anner is listedas George's mother-in-law. Since he has been married only once, this must be Minnie's mother. So this is our Martha / Susan. She is listed as 64 years old and widowed, born in Alabama.

Census:
In 1930, Martha is shown as Martha Jones, living in the home of her daughter and son-in-law in Oklahoma. She says that she is 73 years old (b. abt. 1857) and was 16 when she was first married. That's a bit later than earlier censuses would indicate.

Died:
In the Oklahoma death index, there is a Martha A. Jones listed as having died on 11 Sep 1931. However, the death certificates are not open records in Oklahoma and require considerable proof to obtain. Therefore, this may not be a great record to pursue to get more data on Martha.
