  • Name Eliza Jane JONES  [1
    Birth 26 Oct 1865  Arkansas Find all individuals with events at this location  [3
    • E. J. Seagroves' Texas death certificate gives her birth date as 29 Oct 1865 but her place of birth as Georgia. I believe that to be an error since each census recording shows her birthplace as Arkansas and her father, Robert L. Jones was in Arkansas in 1860. [2]

    Family 2 Isaac G. SEAGRAVES,   b. 17 Nov 1863, Texas Find all individuals with events at this locationd. 23 Feb 1944, Atlanta, Cass County, Texas Find all individuals with events at this location (Age 80 years) 
    Marriage est. 1937  [5, 6, 7
    • According to her Findagrave.com memorial, Isaac's second wife, Eliza Jane Jones Seagroves, was the widow of his older brother, Mathias Jackson, who had died in 1916. Isaac's first wife, Eliza Frances Otts, died 8 Dec 1936 and first appears with Isaac on the 1940 census as Eliza J., age 74, born in TX. His first wife had been on the 1930 census as age 69, born in AL. No marriage record has yet been found for Isaac and Eliza Jane, but it is probable they were married after Dec 1936 and before Jun 1940. We have estimated that 1937 is likely. [5, 6, 7]
