Biography

Jane Dora was born in about 1824. She was the daughter of Frederick Rea and Eleanor Beall. She married Luda Pyles Jones and they had children: James Frederick Ray, Ann E., Caroline B., Mary E. and John Thomas. Jane passed away in about 1902.

Research Notes

On John Thomas Jones' death certificate, his mother is listed as a Ray. The first name looks like Ione or Jane. I think it's probably Ione since John Thomas Jones named one of his daughters Iona.

The record says Jane and so does the translation. It is not Iona. See below.

Ray has often had various spellings included but, not limited to Ray, Rey Rea, Rhea, Wray, Wrey, etc.
