George married Teresa (Thérèse) Ann Dumond about 1873. No marriage record has been found. Their first child, Mary Elizabeth Harris, was reported as age 6 in the June 1880 census, so born in about 1874.

But it not clear what was intended. It at first looks like MargE (written together with no space between the name and the initial). But then there is a writeover, which looks more like MaryE.

From the 1600s till roughly 1900, it was common to write H with an upstroke from the bottom of the first stem to the top of the lst stem. It looked different from an N, however, with the inner stroke going up to the left, oppostie the N. We have no access to the original handwritten record.

I expect that, as usual, the 1900 census is one year off on the year of birth, and Arthur's actual birth date was in 1892.

But the death date for Drayton is reported as 30 December, 1929, which is his wife's date of death! Drayton's death certificate reports he died on 3 December 1929, but his grave has Rosie's date of death! The grave markers for Drayton and his wife are footstones in the same style.

The really interesting Texas Jones descendants of Russell Sr. came down through Russell Jr., who married Sophia Harris and died suddenly of illness in San Felipe, Texas, in 1841. His son Augustus Harris [Jones], who arrived in Mexican Texas in 1835, escaped death at Goliad and the Alamo because he was off in the States raising money on Fannin's behalf for the Texian cause. Gus Jr., a cowman turn-of-the-century mayor of San Antonio, joined two other cattlemen to build the Saint Anthony, still a luxury hotel there. William Early Jones, a jurist who was hauled off to Mexico City in 1842 by General Woll while holding a commissioners court in San Antonio, became first editor of the San Antonio Express after distinguishing himself as an editor in Augusta, Georgia. -- James Jones, Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, Aug 30, 2017 Georgia Marriages, 1699-1944 Russell Jones Sophia Harvey [a descendant says her name was Harris] Marriage 27 Oct 1806 Jackson, Georgia North America, Family Histories, 1500-2000 Sophia Harris Father Buckner Harris Mother Nancy Early Spouse Russell Jones Child Augustus Harris Jones Based on entries in the Lineage Book of Charter Members of the DAR, Vol 82, p 46 Daughters of the American Revolution Sue Jones Houston Born in Gonzales County, Texas Descendant of Walton Harris and Buckner Harris Daughter of Augustus Harris Jones (1812-77) and Minerva Lewis (b 1828), his wife Granddaughter of Russell Jones and Sophia Harris, his wife Gr-granddaughter of Buckner Harris and Nancy Early, his wife Membership #81124, See #81119 Lineage Book of Charter Members, Vol 82, p 46 In 1850, Sophia was enumeratedin the US census in the household of her son Augustus Harris Jones in Gonzales County, Texas.

The DAR information also reports he died in Wilkes County, Georgia, but the FAG memorial reports he died in Greene County GA. Land transfer documents cited above indicate he did move to Wilkes County, Georgia. But Wilkes County became Greene County in 1786, so it was already Greene Co when he died. The latest date on the land documents was 1874, two years before the name change.
