Louella Jones married Jesse M. Bailey on November 11, 1894 in Clark County, Arkansas, both were 23 years of age.
Jesse Bailey was the son of Jesse and Susan Bailey of Amity, Arkansas. Oddly enough, Jesse and Susan Bailey named their first two children Jesse and Susan. Jesse Bailey, Sr. was from Georgia and Susan was from Missouri. In the 1880's, Jesse, Sr. owned a store in Amity, but by 1900, both Jesse, Sr. and Jesse, Jr. were working as farmers in Amity.
Louella and Jesse Bailey had at least one daughter, Murrell Bailey.
Louella's father, Andrew Jones, was born in Hardeman County, Tennessee, the son of William Andrew Jones and Rebecca Box Jones. He was previously featured on this site.
According to some Jones family researchers, the Jones Family moved from Mississippi to Amity in 1848 or 1849 and lived in a log house near the present-day Jones Cemetery. Jones Cemetery might have started as a family cemetery for the Jones', as Andrew and Mary Ann's son, Dickey Jones, who died in 1866, is one of the oldest graves in the cemetery.
