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.

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.
