For a long time I’ve been trying to figure more about who my great grandmothers grandmother was. I’m lucky enough to be around at the same time my great grandmother is. To make this easier to understand I will call my great grandmother. E. E was around 5 or so when her grandmother Jane Hughes died so she remembers very little about her.

From records I’ve found and interviews with E I’m aware of the following

E’s father had a sister by the same mother

E’s grandfather never married Jane

Jane had at least 3 children with 2 different men Wilson Triplett and Isom B. Slone but was never married to either. The children were Robert Allen, Polly Anne and Grover Cleveland Slone

Jane was probably born October 17th 1877 or sometime in this time range

She lived most her life in the Knott and Perry county areas of Kentucky

Jane seemed to go by or have her name misspelled in the records as Phebejane Hughes and Janet Hughes

I’m sorry if this post is a bit of a mess and hard to understand but thanks for any help anyone can give!

That’s been something on my list but I’m not sure what company to use. With the whole 23 and me privacy nightmare and bankruptcy I’m not sure what services are left or trustable enough to use.

Ancestry. Biggest pool of people, focused on connecting relatives. Not even comparable.

They run sales this time of year. Just do it.
