- Stephen Jones (1795-1863) was married to Mariah Madden. She died bef 1840 in Illinois; and in 1853 Stephen traveled to Lafayette with his son John W. Jones to meet up with John W's brother, Thomas Jones, who was already there. Stephen, and several of the family are buried in Lafayette Cem (as indicated below).
If you are researching this family, or if you are a descendant, I would love to trade info with you, and more importantly, meet you. I descend from another of Stephen's sons, Mabra Jones, who had traved to South Texas and settled in Victoria Co, about 1845.
Also, if anyone is local to this cemetery and would be willing to snap a few digital pictures, I would very much greatly appreciate some pictures of these headstones - particularly Stephen Jones as he is my 3rd g-grandfather.The

I've ID'd most of the Joneses listed, but these following names I do not have:
Elizabeth Jones
Levi B Jones
Mary E Jones
Miriam Adelaide Jones is possibly who I have listed as Marion Jones, dau of Henry Turner
Nathanial Jones
Wallace Lee Jones
___________________________
Two Madden cousins were also with the Joneses in Lafayette
-- Mabra Madden (b 1829 m Maggie Shafer) and Richard Madden (b 1838, m Emma Southard), sons of two of Mariah Madden Jones' brothers.
The Lafayette Cemetery has listed three Madden graves, one being William T Madden, an 8-month old son of Richard and Emma. The other two I do not know who they are, Jerry Madden (d 6 Apr 1948) and Johannah Madden (d 15 Dec 1933).
Looking forward to hearing from anyone interested in this family! :)

Lafayette Cemetery
3285 Mount Diablo Blvd
Lafayette, Contra Costa, California
Lafayette's cemetery was established on 4-1/2 acres of hillside property owned by Medford Gorham. In 1874, he sold the property for $100 to the Cemetery Corporation which was chaired by Elam Brown. The Corporation fenced the property and located the roads as they presently exist. The original Death and Burial Record Book, still on file in the cemetery caretaker's building, shows names of the deceased, date and cause of death, plus age and place of death. A complete copy of the book is in the Lafayette Historical Society file in the Lafayette library. In 1937, the Alamo-Lafayette Cemetery District was formed with county taxation to ensure perpetual care.
(findagrave)
Lafayette Cemetery is at 3285 Mount Diablo Blvd in Lafayette, between Pleasant Hill Road and the Lafayette Park Hotel.
Take Hwy. 24 to the either Central Lafayette exit (and turn left on Mount Diablo Blvd) , or the South Pleasant Hill Exit and turn left on Pleasant Hill and left again onto Mount Diablo.

Hi Sherry,
Hope all is well with you and family.
Sandy and I are currently in Salt Lake City and so you now know what we've been doing.
I found Stephen Jones, finally. He and a couple sons did move to Contra Costa County, CA in 1853. He's on the 1860 census and he died in 1863 at the age of 71. Found his grave too and now have his birth and death date.
According to what I found, he lived in Henry Co. KY, then Harrison Co. IN for a short while, then to Meade Co. KY about 1822 until 1836, then to Scott Co. IL for two years, then to Platte Co. MO until 1844, then back to Scott Co. IL until 1853. Still haven't found Mariah, but I assume she died in Meade Co. KY. She is not on the 1840 Platte Co. census. Also found Stephen and the Loveladys and the Linvilles on an 1839 Platte Co. tax list.
Been hard at work trying to find Stephen's beginning too, but still have not found them.
We're stopping at Iowa City to see Becky on the way back and I'll write with more when we get back next week.
TIll then,
John
