James Jones, b. 1855, Living in Taylor County in 1880
Can anyone fill me in on relationship to the John Black family living in Taylor County in 1880 and James Jones, (b. 1855 in GA or TX)m wife, Eliza, (b. 1860) and son, Perry (b. 1878)listed living with the Blacks?
James Jones is listed as "servant" to head of household, John Black, but his 2 yr. old son is listed as "nephew" to John Black.
This same James Jones is listed in 1870 Houston County, TEXAS census living in household of Edy Black (b. 1807 in Georgia)Edy Black is wife of William A. Black of Decatur County, Georgia.This family lived in Leon County, Florida in 1830, Decatur County, Georgia in 1840 and 1850.By 1880 Edy Black has returned to Georgia and is again living in Decatur County.
William A. Black had brother, Douglas Black.Three of the children of Douglas Black are listed in 1880 census of Taylor County; John Black,(b. 1844), Milton Black, (b. 1850) and Louisa Black (b. 1839)married to John Hurst.
Would appreciate any help!
