I have run into a brick wall searching for info on my great, great grandmother, Mary H Erwin who was born 11 Oct 1835 somewhere in West Virginia. She married Andrew Jackson Jones, born 1 Jul 1833 somewhere in New York. His parents born NY. Mary's parents both born West Virginia.
Their ist child, Orlena J Jones was born somewhere in Missouri,
2nd child Virginia Catherine Jones born 26 Jan 1860 somewhere in Texas.
3rd child, Lillia Dale Jones born 12 Sep 1862 somewhere in Texas.
4th child I have no knowledge of.
Andrew Jackson Jones enlisted in the Civil War while they were living in Texas, at Gainesville, Tx in 1862. He was a Confederate with the 16th Texas Regimental Cavalry, Company A.
After the Civil War this family moved to Butl;er Co, Iowa and lived for a few years then moved on to Northern Minnesota and settled in Becker Co and then when he was older, moved to Beltrami Co, Mn where he died 11 Nov 1898 in Jones Twp, Beltrami,Mn, named after him.Mary H died 15 Aug 1901 while living with one of her daughters, Virginia Catherine who married William Henry Gaines, she died at Verndale, Wadena Co, Mn.
Lillia Dale Jones married James Madison Town and they lived in Hubbard Co, Mn
My great grandmother, Orlena J married Daniel Morrison Witter and they lived in Becker Co, Mn.
All the info on these people only give the States where they were born and not the Counties or Towns.
I would appreciate any help on the Erwins (other spellings too) in West Virginia.
Thanks!!!
