Researching Jones family of Henry Co, and then Bates Co., MO. Father was William Jones (may have been John William). He was born in 1857 in MO, but his father was born in KY. William married Sarah Ellen Lucas (b. 1858 in MO) and I believe they had 9 living children. One of which is my great grandmother, Laura Belle Jones b. 1889 in Clinton Twp., Henry Co., MO. A few of her sibling's names were James R., William H., Harrison E., Thomas L., Bertha, Mary E.
