Elizabeth married John Jones on 8 August 1865 and settled on their farm two miles south and one mile east of Carsonville (on the northeast corner of Washington and Loree roads). Elizabeth was 32 years old when she married but John was 57. He was born in Cardigan Bay, Wales, on 30 Oct 1807 and died on 29 November 1897 at his home in Carsonville. In 1890 he wrote about his various experiences in early Michigan and the Civil War. The complete John Jones Story is posted here.^[3] Although his "memoir" is lengthy he mentions Elizabeth and his children only briefly: "When I came back [from the Civil War] it was not hard to get acquainted with the ladies. I found one and married her. About a year later, she presented me with a boy [John, the father of Madeline Jones Felker] and said he was mine. He is now about six feet tall. She found five girls somewhere [Jane, Mary, Anna, Sarah, and Eliza]. In '67, four squaws came in the house. I was not home at the time. There were two very old squaws and two young squaws. My wife told me that one of them was the handsomest woman she ever saw, was dressed very costly and about twenty years old. They played with the baby about two hours and went away. That was the last time the Indians were around."

After John died Elizabeth continued to live on their farm southeast of Carsonville until she died there on 5 January 1919.
