Harry Jones was born about 1875-79 in New York. His date of birth is uncertain (reflected as anywhere from 1875-79 on various documents). Harry married Sarah "Sadie" (Bears) on September 9, 1905.[1] Their first child, Alexander, died in infancy.
Harry and Sadie lived in Massachusetts and in Vermont.[2][3]
Between 1930 and 1940, Sadie wanted to take her son Harry, who was deaf, to Boston for surgery to restore his hearing. The elder Harry refused, saying he didn't believe in doctors. So Sadie packed up her kids and moved down to Massachusetts, leaving him behind.[4][5][6]

"Gramma Jones always said, 'Old Man Jones is no good!'" my mother told me. I asked her if she ever met him. She said, "Oh yeah! He used to come down from Vermont to visit, but he'd come late at night. We could never tell Gramma because she'd have a fit if she knew he was there. But he'd poke his head into our rooms to say hello. He wasn't the kind of grampa whose lap you'd sit on. He would just say hello and go off on his way."
