Census
1870 census of Bath Co., Ky, Mudlick precinct, enumerated 2 Aug, lists on p. 5 as family #34:
Jones, Jessie, 28, farmer; Barbara, 25; Lucy, 6; Richard, 4; George, 1. Jones, James, 75, farm hand. All born in Kentucky.

1880 census of Bath Co., Ky, Polksville precinct, enumerated 23 June, lists on p. 13A as family #224/228:
Jones, Jesse, 40, farmer; Barbry, wife, 55; Lucy, 15, dau; Richard, 13, son; George, 10, son; John, 8, son; Rody, 5, dau. All born Ky Ky Ky.

Given Rody’s age, the age for Barbara is probably wrong.

1900 census of Bath Co., Ky, Owingsville precinct #5, enumerated 1 June, lists on p. 1A as family #1:
Jones, Richard, 34, b. May 1866, farmer, single; Barbria, mother, 54, born 1845, widowed, mother of 8 children, 6 living; George, brother, 31, b. Oct 1868; John, brother, 26, b. July 1873. Gray, Lucy, sister, 36, b. May 1864, 36, widowed, mother of 1 child, 1 living. Jones, Chessie, sister, 17, b. May 1883, single; Jones, Flora, dau, 10, b. June 1889.

Given the fact that Richard is recorded as single and Lucy as the mother of one living child, I suspect that Flora may be Lucy’s daughter rather than Richard’s.

1910 census of Bath Co., Ky, district 6, enumerated 5 May, lists on p. 13A as family #263:
Jones, Barbara, 70, widowed, mother of 10 children, 7 living, farmer; Richard, son, 44, single, laborer; Chessy, dau, 23; John, son, 38, farmer, married; Annie, dau-in-law, 28, first marriage for both, married 3 years, mother of 1 child, 1 living; Mattie, granddau, 2. All born Ky Ky Ky.

Note that many of the ages are inconsistent with the 1900 census records by several years. Chessie, for example, was recorded as age 17 born May 1883 in the 1900 census, but as only 23 here.

The preceding household is headed by James Hall, who is married to Rhoda Jones.
