MEB Jones and His Notepads

RANDOM NOTES part 1

 In the old trunk, there were several notepads where Martin Ervin Brooks Jones recorded information. It seems that he always had a pad with him. Inside these notepads, I found a variety of information. Without anyone to give me any knowledge of what he recorded, I began researching some of the names and infomation listed. 

I will start with a flip book that only had 5 sheets that were written on. I tore them out and disposed of the notepad. It's always SO hard to get rid of things from the last turn of the century. 

I labeled these as Random Notes. As to the date of these notes, my guess would be around 1910/1920

I also wrote a transcription, trying my best to get it correct. Handwriting is always a factor in transcription. 


Page 1 (front) appears to be a list of people that M.E.B. was ordering possibly shoes for. It appears that he list the style # of the shoe, color, how many pairs, and price.  People he was ordering for: A.C.Parker, M.H. Jones (men,women,children), J.W. Wood, Joe Skipworth (children), J.C. Taylor?, 




Page 1 (back) M.E.B. has two addresses, one for W.H.Evans. The other for W.E. Walden

 Page 2 (front) List of people continues, J.E. Marbut?, Geo.M. Callum, Marrow? Roebuck, F.R. Lefre?, Rev. P.W. Eldredge


Creed Quillen, son of Teague VI

 Proof of Creed Quillen, the lineage of distant cousin Jenny Kidd. She has done excellent research, and she, too, follows my Teague theory (...
