Evaline (sometimes spelled Emiline) was born in Indiana in February 27, 1842. (The 1900 census gives the date 1843; her tombstone states 1842.) She was the daughter of Shubel S. and Hannah Knox Polk York. Her father and mother were both born in North Carolina. On March 21, 1861 she married Henry L. Jones, son of a pioneer family who emigrated to Black Township, Posey County, Indiana in the early 1800s. The young couple developed a farm in this area and in 1862 their daughter Laura was born. In 1864 another daughter, Elizabeth "Lizzie" was added to the family. By 1870 Henry had moved the family across the Wabash River to the town of Carmi, the county seat of White County, Illinois. The town of Carmi is only about fifteen miles from their parents farms in Posey County, Indiana. Henry had taken up the trade of a butcher. Mary Brasier, a woman 22 years of age, was living with the family. In 1878 a third daughter named Mary was added to the family. By 1880 Evaline, Henry and the children had moved back to Black Township and once again Henry had taken up farming. Little else is known about the family for the next number of years. However, on January 27, 1900 Henry passed away and her daughter Laura died the following April, both in Posey County, Indiana. The U S Census of 1900 reveals that Evaline, who was 57 years of age at the time and listed as a widow, was living in Mount Vernon with her son-in-law William L. Barton and husband of recently deceased Laura. He was a widower and who was a teamster. A few years later she moved west with her daughter Lizzie and husband and on September 10, 1908 she married Seth Jones Sr. at Grangeville, Idaho. The 1910 census records that Seth was seventy-seven and Evaline was sixty-seven. Little is known of this marriage. Seth had been married three times. The census records that Evaline was the mother of three, only one still living. The U S Census of 1920 indicates that Evaline was living in Lewis County, Idaho with her daughter Lizzie, her son-in-law Bert Howell and her grandson Forrest Lee Howell (age 11). She was seventy-six years of age and listed as a widow. She died on January 11, 1927 in Grangeville, Idaho County, Idaho and is buried at the Prairie View Cemetery located in Grangeville.

597SETH JONES has the distinction of being a leader in many lines in this section and he is, without doubt, one of the first and most stanch pioneers of Idaho County. He was born in Allegany County, New York, on April 6, 1833, the son of Stephen and Lydia (Lampheer) Jones, natives of New York. The father died in 1842 and was one of the first settlers in Illinois, coming thither in 1838. The mother died in 1843. Being thus left an orphan early; our subject went to live with his brothers, Phenis and Conley. When sixteen he started in to do battle with the world for himself, and was engaged at various employments until 1853 when on April 3, he started across the plains. Portland was reached on August 19, and he wintered at Jacksonville; the next spring was in Siskiyou County, where he mined for four years and then returned home. He married and two years later started across the plains again. On Goose creek, Utah, Indians stole their fine horses, taking fifty out of seventy-five. Five days were spent in following the savages, but no horses were recovered and they then made arrangements with another train to have their wagons pulled at twelve dollars per day. Settlement was made in Scott's valley, California, and two years they dwelt there. On June 1, 1862, they arrived at Florence and came out over the Morse Milner trail. Mrs. Jones was the first white woman over the trail and the gallant Millner would take no fees from the entire train when he knew of her presence. In March 1863, Mr. Jones settled on Camas prairie; the first logs sawed at the Pete Walters mill made the lumber which Mr. Jones used to build the first settlers cabin on the prairie. Mr. Jones went to general farming and stockraising and has prospered steadily up to the present. At one time he sold six hundred and fifty head of stock for the Montana market and has always had large bands of cattle and horses. He owns nearly thirteen hundred acres of fine agricultural land, has a splendid residence and seven acres in Grangeville, which is the family home, owns excellent stock, having one horse that cost three thousand dollars, and other property in proportion. Mr. Jones is one of the most substantial men of the county and may be rightly classed as one of the real builders. He refused to sign the petition to have the Indians set onto the reservation and so was unmolested. He passed through two large hands of the savages in full war paint on June 13th and was unmolested. Charley Horton was with him and the next day that unfortunate man was slain by the savages about two miles west from Grangeville. Mr. Jones says the war started on June 13th by the killing of Dick Divine, Henry Elfers, John Beckridge, Benedict, Baker, William Osborne, Henry Mason, and Francois, the last three being mining men. Mr. Jones took his family to Mt. Idaho for two months during this trouble.

On December 13, 1858, in Illinois, Mr. Jones married Miss Jane F., daughter of Samuel and Jane (Eddy) Castle, natives of Canada and New York, respectively. Her father was in the Civil war and her grandfather was a patriot under George Washington during the Revolution. Mrs. Jones' father died in 1877. She was born in New York in 1837 and has the following brothers and sisters: Orville, Samuel. Louise. Victoria, and Melissa. Mr. Jones has the following brothers and sisters: Albert, Samuel, Hannah, and Caroline. To this worthy couple and stanch pioneers have been born the following named children, all solid Republicans in good standing: Asa, Ella, Bell, wife of Charles Cone, and the first white child born on Camas prairie, Samuel. Seth, Rhoda, Robert, William, Jennie Martin, adopted. Mrs. Jones is a member of the Baptist church Byway of reminiscence it is interesting to note that in early days Mr. Jones had to go to Walla Walla for all supplies and the distance being one hundred and fifty miles it was a hard and tiresome undertaking. Also we wish to note that Mr. Jones was with the party that met the soldiers at the Manuel place after the house was burned.

Henry L Jones

Birth: 
1841
Posey County
Indiana, USA
Death: 
Jan. 27, 1900
Mount Vernon
Posey County
Indiana, USA

Henry was the youngest child of David and Margaret "Peggy" R. (Duckworth) Jones and was born in 1841 on the family farm which was located in Black Township, Posey County, Indiana. He had nine brothers and sisters: Elizabeth, Mary ("Polly"), Emily, John D., Lydia, Matilda, William W., Robert Duckworth (my ancestor) and Ezekiel. It was on his father's farm that Henry was raised until manhood. By 1850 the family was still farming in Black Township north of the town of Mount Vernon. Living at home were his father (53), mother (53), brothers Robert (14) and Ezekiel (12) and Henry (9). David Lytle, a seventeen year old cousin, was also living with the family and helping out as a farm laborer. On March 21, 1861 Henry married Evaline York (sometimes spelled Emiline). She was born in Indiana in February 27, 1842. In 1862 their daughter Laura was born. In 1866 another daughter, Elizabeth Mae ("Lizzie"), was added to the family. Henry and Evaline had established a farm in Black Township, Posey County near other members of the Jones clan. There is evidence that Henry may have served in the Union Army during the Civil War. His name is included in the U s Civil War Draft Registrations Records. This does not prove that he actually was called into active duty, so how long he may have served or if he saw action is unknown. By 1870 Henry had moved the family across the Wabash River to the town of Carmi, the county seat of White County, Illinois. His brother Ezekiel had also moved to White County about this time and was farming near Emma. The town of Carmi is only about fifteen miles from his parents farm in Posey County, Indiana. Henry had taken up the trade of a butcher. Mary Brasier, a woman 22 years of age, was living with Henry's family. By 1880 Henry had moved back to Black Township and once again taken up farming. A daughter Mary (born in 1878) had joined the family by this time. Little else is known about the family for the next number of years. Henry died on January 27, 1900 and when the census was taken the summer of 1900, his wife Evaline was living with her son-in-law William L. Barton in Mount Vernon. By 1920 Evaline was living with her son-in-law Bert Howell and daughter "Lizzie" Howell in Idaho. Where Henry was buried has not been determined.
