"Past Images of Rowan County"22 lists William H. Jones who m. Lue Ellen Foster as a son of David K. Jones, giving his lifespan as May 14, 1878-Apr 13, 1965, based on cemetery records.
Curiously, William is not listed with the David K. Jones family in the 1880 census, when he should be 2 years old, and a son John age 2 is listed instead. Maybe his full name was William John Henry Jones?

Notes for Anna Elizabeth Bowman
Her death certificate records Mrs. Willie Jones, age 65 years 11 months 23 days, born 9 Oct 1877 in Clearfield, Ky, died 3 Oct 1942 in Hamm, Rowan Co., Ky, married, wife of Willie Jones age 61, father W. M. Bowman born in Va, mother’s maiden name Syndia Roberts born in Morgan Co., Ky, cause of death hypertensive heart disease, informant Henry M. Slusher, Hamm, Ky, burial in Jones Cemetery, Pelfrey, Ky.
Her gravestone next to Presley has the dates 9 Oct 1875 to 1 Oct 1942, and gives her name as Ann Manier. The year of birth on the stone is more consistent with census records, but I am using the date of death from the death certificate.
