JONES FAMILY

Frank Jones 1877 1951

Elizabeth Wilmot Worth 1888 1985

From the coal fields of Ohio and Missouri to homesteads in the Sandhills, Frank and Lizzie's saw life change from horse and buggy and kerosene lamps to cars and electricity in every house and even men walking on the moon.

John Jones 1844 1912

Alvina Davis (born Elwina Williams) 1844 1896

The landscape around John and Alvina may have changed, from mid-Wales to mid-America, but the landscape of work and family life didn't vary much between the two countries. Both were born into hard-working families that we would now call lower class, but in Wales they were in the majority. Coming to America provided more opportunities than they had in Wales, but it wasn't until the next generation that the hard work paid off.
