I have no problems answering whatever questions I can for anyone who cares to ask

. I noticed a post from earlier of someone who knows another great great granddaughter of Dr.
Jones, Lillie Parra Moraga. Dr.
Jones had 6 daughters and 1 son. Those 6 daughters all married and several had LARGE families....so, by the time it gets to Dr.
Jones' great greats....there are a LOT! Lol many I've never even met and it seems we all have pieces of a large puzzle!
As far as my information on Dr.
Jones being friends with Jacob Waltz....comes from references in a handwritten notebook, of which I have a copy, from Dr.
Jones' youngest daughter, Laura. my understanding was that she intended to write a book on Dr.
jones and compiled all this information for that purpose. From what I have put together about Dr.
Jones' personality, ' friends' would be a relative term, as I believe him to have been shrewd and calculating with a very definitive view of right and wrong....and a very quick temper... Additionally, Laura was only 5 yrs old at the time of his death and her memories and writings, I believe, are colored by a young girl, the baby of the family no less losing her daddy, whom she worshiped.
Anyway....i will answer any questions I can. I have this thread set to notify me by email....or anyone can email me at:
vappel@cox.net .....more later...bed now! Lol
