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.

James Rudy Willett (1889-1970)

James Rudy Willett was born on September 10, 1889 in Maxon Mill, McCracken County, Kentucky. He was the son of Dennis Edward Willett and Alice Lulu Hill. He was raised on the family farm in McCracken County.

Rudy married Anna Katherine “Annie” Tempel on October 26, 1910 in McCracken County, Kentucky. They were both 21 years old. Anna was born on February 14, 1889 in Fenton, Missouri, the daughter of Adam Tempel, Jr. and Anna K. Tempel.

Rudy and Annie had two children:

Frances Olivia Willett born September 1, 1912

Temple Willett born December 5, 1915

After their marriage, Rudy and Annie settled on a farm in Paducah, McCracken County, Kentucky. Rudy worked with his father and brothers, farming and running a mill.

Rudy registered for the draft for the First World War on June 5, 1917 in McCracken County, Kentucky. He was described as of medium height and build, with blue eyes and black hair. Rudy claimed exemption from the draft due to his needing to provide for his wife and children. He did not serve in the war.

By 1930, Rudy and Annie had moved their family to a home on Washington Street in Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee. There, Rudy worked at a bakery.

Anna Katherine Tempel Willett died on November 1, 1931 in Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee. She took her own life, after a long and difficult struggle with depression. Anna was buried near her parents in the Maplelawn Park Cemetery in Paducah, McCracken County, Kentucky. She was 42 years old at her death.

Rudy married again around 1935 to Emily Lucie Jones Walker, also a widow. Emily was born on April 4, 1895 in Paducah, McCracken County, Kentucky, the daughter of George Jerome Jones and Annie Jane Delvin. Emily’s first husband, James William Walker, died in 1934.

In 1940, Rudy and Emily were living in a home in Hillsboro, Florida, where Rudy was working as a supervisor for a retail bakery.

James Rudy Willett died on July 8, 1970 in Polk County, Florida. He was buried in Lakeland Memorial Gardens in Lakeland, Polk County, Florida. He was 80 years old at his death.

Emily Lucie Jones Walker Willett died four years later, on March 7, 1974 in Polk County. She was laid to rest next to her second husband in Lakeland Memorial Gardens in Lakeland, Polk County, Florida. She was 78 years old at her death.

James William Walker (1891-1934)

James William “Willie” Walker was born on July 14, 1891 in Paducah, McCracken County, Kentucky. He was the son of William Walker and Elizabeth Seamon. William Walker died in 1897, so James was raised by his mother on the family farm in Paducah.

James married Emily Lucie Jones in 1913 in Paducah, McCracken County, Kentucky. He was 22 years old and she was 18 years. Emily was born on April 4, 1895 in Paducah, the daughter of George Jerome Jones and Annie Jane Delvin.

James and Emily were the parents of two daughters:

Emily Lucille Walker born September 3, 1914

Jean Elizabeth Walker born January 27, 1921

James registered for the draft for the First World War on June 5, 1917 in Paducah, McCracken County, Kentucky. At that time, he was working as a machinist for the J.C. Railroad Shop in Paducah. He was described as tall and slender, with grey eyes and light hair. James claimed exemption from the draft because he was providing for his wife and child. He did not serve in the war.

In 1920, James and his family were living with his widowed mother in her home on Broad Street in Paducah.

By 1930, James had moved his family and his mother to a home on Lovelaceville Paducah Road in Massac, McCracken County, Kentucky. He was employed as a foreman for the railroad at that time.

James William Walker died on April 8, 1934 in McCracken County, Kentucky. The cause of death was “fish poisoning.” He was buried next to his parents in the Oak Grove Cemetery in Paducah. He was 42 years old at his death.

Emily married James Rudy Willett around 1935 in Tennessee. Rudy was a widower, and this was his second marriage as well. He was born on September 10, 1890 in Paducah, McCracken County, Kentucky, the son of Dennis Edward Willett and Alice Lulu Hill. His first wife, Anna Tempel, died in 1931.

In 1940, Rudy and Emily were living in a home in Hillsboro, Florida, where Rudy was working as a supervisor for a retail bakery.

James Rudy Willett died on July 8, 1970 in Polk County, Florida. He was buried in Lakeland Memorial Gardens in Lakeland, Polk County, Florida. He was 80 years old at his death.

James Montgomery Bell vs. James M. Bell

I have found much research that has been done for these two gentlemen, and much of it overlaps. Digging through the records, here is what I have discovered:

William Bell (b. 1740, Virginia) and Mary Foster (b. 1745, Virginia) had several children. Among them, were two sons:

Judge William Bell, Sr., born in 1768, Virginia

Married about 1786 to Sarah Knight, born in 1768, Virginia

Son, James M. Bell, born in 1815, Kentucky

Married in 1845 to Mary Ann Elizabeth Hall, born 1825, Kentucky

Thomas Bell, born in 1773, Virginia

Married about 1799 to Hannah Boggess, born in 1781, Kentucky

Son, James Montgomery Bell, born in 1812, Kentucky

Married in 1835 to Nancy G. Boggess, born in 1814, Kentucky

Much of the research that has been done suggests that James Montgomery Bell and James M. Bell are the same person, having married Nancy G. Boggess first, and then Mary Ann Elizabeth Hall, ten years later.

That assumption is false.

James M. Bell and Mary Ann Elizabeth Hall appear in the 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 US Census records, all in McCracken County, Kentucky.

Meanwhile, James Montgomery Bell and Nancy G. Boggess are listed in the 1840 and 1850 US Census Records in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, and 1860 in Hopkins County, Kentucky.

The information listed in the 1850 and 1860 US Census Records proves that James M. Bell and James Montgomery Bell are not the same person.

James M. Bell (1815-1899)

Note: click here for more information regarding the research of James M. Bell

James M. Bell was born on July 2, 1815 in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. He was the son of Judge William Bell, Sr. and Sarah Knight.

On October 13, 1845 James married Mary Ann Elizabeth Hall in McCracken County or Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. He was 33 years old and she was 20 years. Mary was born December 13, 1825 in Logan County, Kentucky, the daughter of Micajah Hall and Harriet W. Duval.

James and Mary had ten children:

Wyley Jesse born March 24, 1847

Anna Isabell born January 15, 1849

Susan H. born July 27, 1850

John William born January 17, 1852

Frank born February 26, 1854

Ella born in 1855

Mary born April 4, 1857

Virginia born 1860

Elizabeth J. born in 1862

Mallie born in 1871

After their marriage, the couple settled on a farm in McCracken County, Kentucky, where they stayed to raise their family.

In 1880, James and Mary had established their family on a farm in Hays, McCracken County, Kentucky. Their real estate was worth $8,000 and their personal estate worth $1,000. James was working on the family farm, along with his two sons, Jesse and John.

James M. Bell died on October 8, 1889 in McCracken County, Kentucky. He was buried in Mount Kenton Cemetery in Paducah, McCracken County, Kentucky. He was 84 years old at his death.

After her husband’s death, Mary stayed on the family farm, living with her daughter, Mally. Her son, John, and his family lived on a farm nearby. By 1910, Mary and Mally were renting a house on Yancy Street, near the farm of her son, John.

Mary Ann Elizabeth Bell died on January 8, 1914 in McCracken County, Kentucky. She was just one month past her 88^th birthday. Mary was laid to rest next to her husband in Mount Kenton Cemetery in Paducah, McCracken County, Kentucky.
