Notes for Elias Pierce Jones
Rowan Co. birth records, on LDS microfilm #216839, list Elias P. Jones, b. 28 May 1857, to I. N. Jones & Jane McDenel, place of birth Craney.
His gravestone is inscribed Elias P. Jones, May 27, 1857 - Feb 8, 1938, but I cannot find him in the Kentucky death records.
Notes for Nancy Elizabeth Lyons
Her gravestone says “Nancy Elizabeth Jones, wife of Elias P. Jones, Dec 21, 1866 - Dec 9, 1935, Mother”
I cannot find her in the Kentucky death records. Most likely both she and Elias died in another state, and were returned to Rowan Co. for burial.
