CARNES, Elizabeth A.

Notes:

Both of Elizabeth's parents were born in England. She was born in Maryland.

Her maiden name was Carnes, however there is a record of a William H. Jones marrying an Elizabeth Correns in the Baltimore Sun newspaper in 1849. Also the 1850 census has a record of Elizabeth and William being married within 1 year prior to the census.

There seems to be a strong connection between Elizabeth and her mother Charlotte, as they appear together from the 1860 through the1880 census. The 1850 census record shows Elizabeth's mother with the surname of Gains age 48. The census also shows what appears to be a brother of Elizabeth named George H. Gains, a Ship Carpenter age 21.

Elizabeth married JONES, William H. 23 Aug 1849, Baltimore County, Maryland. William (son of JONES, Uriah and MINCHER, Ann) was born Abt 1825, Baltimore, Baltimore County, Maryland; died 19 Jun 1880, 16 North Washington Street, Baltimore, Maryland; was buried 21 Jun 1880, Greenmount Cemetery, Baltimore, Maryland.

Notes:

George attended Law School at the University of Maryland.
He graduated with the class of 1873, and was cited in the graduation rolls of June 3, 1873.

By the 1880 census William age 56 may have stopped working as he did not list his occupation.
Elizabeth, age 46 was keeping house.
Lottie, age 14, was at school.
George, age 27, and his young family;
Ida, age 25, and son,
Taney H. (Howard Taney Jones), age 7, were also living with William and Elizabeth while George was practicing law. George's brother Charles was not listed with the family in this census and had probably moved out of the home. Elizabeth's mother Charlotte Carne, age 82, was living there too, as was a servant by the name of William Roley a 16 year old black man.
The census was taken in the 1st. Ward, Precinct 7, Baltimore, Baltimore Co., Maryland, p. 245D.
