Person:Sarah Jones (176)

1864 July 3, Joel L. Jones wrote his son Tighlman serving in the 59th IL Infantry Regiment somewhere in the South: "My* uncle JOSEPH JONES and SARAH is red hot sesech [secessionists] and I am a black abolitionist and you're fighting to free the niggers. Where went their faith? They have no government, but democracy must stand and not let the flag trail in disgrace."

• Writing to his son, Joel probably meant to say "Your uncle JOSEPH." Joel appears to be particularly incensed towards his brother in this letter.

no date [ca. 1873], Ada Wyckoff Hopkins wrote her cousin Jane Love: "I received a letter from Sarah Dolby in which she writes that Aunt Polly [widow of Joseph Jones] has sold their farm and are going to move to Kansas near Coffeeville.* Joseph [Aunt Polly's son] is there now / has bought an improved farm. There is some talk of Sallie [Aunt Polly's dau. Sarah?] marrying."
