Amy Johnson Crow of No Story To Small has started a challenge of 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks.
From her blog “The challenge: have one blog post each week devoted to a specific ancestor. It could be a story, a biography, a photograph, an outline of a research problem — anything that focuses on one ancestor. Not only should this get me blogging more, but also to take a deeper look at some of the people in my family tree.”
The focus of my blog post today is Fanny Belle Johns Jones, my Grand Aunt.
Fanny Belle Johns was born on 12 Apr 1892 in Marlboro County, South Carolina.1 2 3 4 5 6 Fanny Belle was the daughter of Joseph Henry Johns and his wife Laura Driggers.
Fanny Belle Johns and Julius Jones were married on 12 Nov 1912 in Bennettsville, Marlboro, South Carolina. No clues has been found to suggest a time period for the death of Fanny Belle. I know she is listed in the 1920 census for Marlboro county. In 1930, if I have the right Julius Jones, children matches, but the wife listed in the 1930 Census is Mary F. Jones. This indicates that Fanny Belle died sometime between 1920 and 1930. No obituary or death certificate has been found for her.
Julius Jones7 was born on 9 Feb 1893 in Bennettsville, Marlboro, South Carolina. He appeared in the census in 1920 & 1930 for Marlboro County, South Carolina.8 9 It is not known when he died but it’s possible that the Julius Jones who died in Jul 1970 is this Julius Jones. Death certificate for this time period are restricted in South Carolina and newspapers are not readily accessible.
More research is needed to determine both Julius and Fanny Belle’s death date.
Julius Jones and Fanny Belle Johns had the following children:
i. Fronnie Jones, born abt 1913, Bennettsville, Marlboro, South Carolina; married Raymond Roscoe; died 6 May 1951, Bennettsville, Marlboro, South Carolina.
ii. Arthur T. Jones was born about 1915 in Bennettsville, Marlboro, South Carolina. 10 11 No further information found.
iii. Evans Jones was born on 27 Jan 1917 in Smithville, Marlboro, South Carolina. He died and was buried on 21 Mar 1917 at the age of 0 in Smithville, Marlboro, South Carolina.
iv. Willie Jones was born on 5 Dec 1918 in Smithville, Marlboro, South Carolina. He died on 5 Dec 1918 and was buried on 6 Dec 1918 in Smithville, Marlboro, South Carolina.
v. Catherine Jones was born about 1921 in Blenheim, Marlboro, South Carolina.12 No further information found.
Fanny Bell has a sister called Annie Belle and these two women have been a real pain to find information about their lives.
