From: "gljones" Date: Thursday, October 22, 2009 12:40 AM I have a problem that has stumped me for years. Presely Hardin Jones was married to Francis Jane Kidd in Lincoln Co.,KY in 1874. The problem arises beacause one researcher lists Francis Jane as the daughter of Bryant Kidd and Rebecca(Oaks) Kidd. However, her death certificate indicates her parents were Green Kidd and Anne (Oaks) Kidd. Bryant Kidd and Green Kidd were brothers. Rebecca Oaks and Anne Oaks were sisters. I have a copy of Presley's marriage certificate with no mention of the parents of either Presley or Francis.Someone sent me email stating that the Francis Jane Kidd, daughter of Bryant and Rebecca did not get married until sometime in the 1890's down in either Scott or Campbell Co.,TN. I believe the grooms last name started with St. I have a problem with my greatgrandfather Presley Hardin Jones' wife,Francis Jane Kidd. One source said the Francis Jane Kidd was the daughter of Bryant Kidd and Rebecca (Oaks) Kidd Another source said she was the daughter of Green Kidd and Anna (Oaks) Kidd. Bryant and Green were brothers. Anna and Rebecca were sisters. Both Bryant and Green had daughters born between 1852 and 1854. I have a copy of the marriage certificate for P.H. Jones (Presley Hardin) and Francis Jane Kidd No mentiion on the certificate of parents for Francis Jane. Someone mentioned that the Francis Jane Kidd, daughter of Bryant and Rebecca did not marry until the 1890's down in Scott or Campbell Co TN. I believe the gentleman she married last name started with St, but I do not recall the full name, Unfortunately, with my many moves the email has been lost. If anybody could shed light which Francis Jane Kidd married Presley Hardin Jones, I would deeply appreciate the information and reference. Thank You Sincerely, Gary L.

Husband listed on death certificate is Brack Payne. One of the death certificates states the "Press" Jones was born in West Virginia. There are two Marion Jones listed in the marriage index of Lincoln Co. KY. Carole French DiSanto From: "gljones" There was an error on the death certificate as to date of birth for Francis Jane Kidd Jones. In the age box, she is listed as being 73 yrs 9 mos 12 days. From a date calculator I found this places her birth as 26 May 1851. The tombstone photo of P.H. Jones and Francis J. in the Olive Baptist Church Cemetery is a close up view of the inscription. It can be clearly seen that Francis's birth date is June 14, 1853 and death date as Mar 10,1925. The death date agrees with death certificate. Another fact of possible interest is the listing by DiSanto is that she has P.H. Jones listed as Preston Harden Jones. On P.H. Jones death certificate, various census data, and some land transfers, P.H. Jones is listed as Presley Harden Jones. Sincerely, Gary L. Jones Grandson of Marion and Eliza Jones
