Anna Greenlee Jones was born on June 2, 1875, in Boone Township, Madison County, Indiana. She was the daughter of Andrew Taylor Greenlee and Prudence Ball Greenlee, also of Boone Township.

Anna married Joel Monroe “Roe” Jones in March 1894, and she moved a half mile west of the Greenlee farm to the Vinson-Jones farm which was one mile directly south of Forrestville Cemetery.

Anna and Joel were the parents of William Henry Jones, Mary Belle Jones-Clary, Alpha Delmar Jones, Harry Jones, and Benge Jones. Belle and her husband, John Willliam Garrett Clary would take over the Vinson-Jones farm in 1934 when Anna and Roe retired from farming and moved into a large stone home on Lincoln Avenue in Alexandria, Indiana.

Anna died in September 15, 1950, three years following her father’s death, and was buried in Forrestville Cemetery. Alphie Jones would die on his mother’s birthday in 1973.

Anna Greenlee Jones was my great-great-grandmother.
