Notes

Julia is the daughter of Judge David S. and Mary Clinton Jones. familysearch.org states that Julia was born in 1827, but that's doubtful. There is an 1870 census record from Summit, Union Co., New Jersey, listing a 26-year-old Julia C. Lord, living in the household of 56yo Mary C. Jones. This is likely the correct Julia Jones.

Julia was not living with Theodore Lord in the 1880 or 1900 census.

From "The Spokane Press," WA, Sep 18, 1903, p. 1,

Portland, Ore., Sept. 18---Miss [sic] Julia Clinton Jones, a great-grand-daughter of General James Clinton of revolutionary war fame and a granddaughter of Governor DeWitt Clinton of New York, is dead at Portland, an object of church charity.

Miss Clinton Jones was an author of rare accomplishments and a teacher of higher education of girls. At the age of 17 years she wrote and published "Valhall," "the Story of a Ship," and "Mechanical Art." Miss Jones was closely related to the Astors, Van Rennselaers and Livingstone of New York.

From "The Courier-News," Bridgewater, New Jersey, March 10, 1915, p. 1,

...

Affidavits have been offered to show that Mr. Lord married in Summit, N. J., Julia Clinton Jones, a granddaughter of Governor Dewitt Clinton, of New York, and Daughter of David S. Jones, of Summit, and that Mrs. Lord died in Portland, Ore., August 29, 1903.

There is no mention of a divorce, and no mention of a wife in speaking of Mr. Lord's residence in San Francisco.

Julia Clinton Jones (birth unknown, death Aug., 1903) is buried in Portland, OR (FindaGrave).
