Notes for Louisa Eliza Phipps
The Kentucky death index lists Louisa P. Jones, age 88, died 29 Oct 1957 in Rowan Co.
The reported age at death would imply a birthdate around 1869. Her gravestone says Louisa Jones, 1864-1957. Her birthdate was listed as Oct 1872 in the 1900 census, which if true would imply that she married at around her 12th birthday.
There is a Louisa Phipps age 7 in the 1880 census of Morgan Co., daughter of Larkin Phipps and Luticia Robinson, who are listed as born in North Carolina. This would fit agewise with the Oct 1872 date, it just seems extreme even in Kentucky for a girl to be married at 11 or 12 years old to a man in his early forties.

Notes for Thornton W. & Louisa Eliza (Family)
I am not related to this family. I am keeping track of them only because I have Jones relatives in the area, so I like to have everyone of the same surname in the region in my database so that I can keep track of who’s who.

Since Louise was listed as Jones on her death record and gravestone, it is likely that either she and George were not really married, or else the marriage was brief and ended in divorce.
