Pamela Jones Oct 4 1997
I'm looking for Starling JONES who appeared in the 1860 census for Scott County. His wife was Martha and two of their children, Drury and Bill, were also listed. This is the only census in which I can find him. I know he's the right one because of the son, Drury and I know for a fact that he did indeed have a son named Drue. Starling married a second time in the 1890s to my great-grandmother, Martha BLAKE, the daughter of Samuel David BLAKE. He is believed to have died around 1900 somewhere in Oklahoma, possibly around Stigler or Poteau. A grandson by his first marriage believes Starling is buried in a cemetery called Red Oak, but we can't find it.
