Jerome Bertram Jones (1826- )

Jerome Bertram “J.B.” Jones was born around 1826 in Virginia.  His parents might have been Thomas Jones and Ann Grace Gaines, but I have not been able to find a document to verify that information.

Jerome married Elizabeth Merritt around 1845 in either Virginia or Kentucky.  Elizabeth was born about 1827 in Virginia.  The only family member I have found for Elizabeth is her brother, William Merritt, who was living with her and her husband in 1850.  William was born in 1841 in Kentucky.

Jerome and Elizabeth were the parents of at least three children:

Anna Elizabeth Jones        born in 1846
Thomas Edward Jones       born in February 1850
George Jerome Jones         born July 23, 1852

Jerome and Elizabeth raised their family in Paducah, McCracken County, Kentucky.  Jerome provided for his family by working as a sawyer.
