Narrative

Children of Elizabeth Reeves and William E. Jones:

1. Sarah J. Jones, b. 1850, d. Aug 1855 of cholera
2. James Jones, b. 1851, d. Aug 1855 of cholera
3. Richard Jones, b. 5 Aug 1852, d. Aug 1855 of cholera

From the Fleming County, Kentucky Death Records of 1855, it appears that all of Elizabeth Reeves Jones' children died during what appears to have been a cholera epidemic. Her husband William's death is also recorded in August of 1855 of cholera.

Her parents Thomas and Sarah Reeves also died at the same time of cholera.

Elizabeth remained a widow and is recorded in the 1860 and 1880 censuses of Fleming County living a community that included Reeves and Carpenter families.
