Omigosh! I about fell off my chair. Thanks again to Jan and everyone who
keeps posting the Mt. Echo newspaper articles. This Robert Jones married
Teresa "Reasy" Wyrick on July 26, 1900 in Laurel Co. They had two children
(that lived or that I know of):
Bertha (Jones) Sturgill January 14, 1905 - July 12, 1997 (my husband's
mamaw)
Jack Jefferson Jones b. November 22, 1917 and still living
When Bertha was old enough to go to school, the family moved to 311 Hamblin
St in Corbin. Bob and Reasy lived out the rest of their lives at that
address.
If anyone knows anything about Woyd's Creek or where exactly it's located.
I would love to hear more about that area.
