William Alfred Jones was born January 15, 1861 to John Jones and Abby Livesay in Cookeville, TN. He and his brother, Isaac, moved to Arizona where they were cowboys.
“Isaac married Becky Mahan, settling near Humboldt and Mayer. In later years Becky
operated a little store in Humbodt.” Pioneer Stories of Arizona’s Verde Valley, Mattie Mahan Hansen
“When Indians broke out from the reservations and went on their raids, the soldiers from Camp Verde would go out and hunt them up and make them go back where they belonged. We were warned of “indian scare” as we called it when we were on the mountain. The Cliff family, our family, I think the Isaac Jones family, and perhaps the Strahans, all went to the Henry Wingfied’s place, where Bill
Wingflied was building a log house, and we camped in the unfinished house. We saw no indians, but we did the see the soldiers go by, and some said they had indians with them.
Once my sisters went to a nearby indian camp and asked an old woman if she would show them some scalps. She grinned and picked up a sack from the ground, but a buck standing near shook his head and she put the sack down.” Pioneer Stories of Arizona’s Verde Valley, Lenora Bristow Lee
“William married Martha Jane Human on November 6, 1892 and together they had four children, James Edward in 1893, William Oscar in 1895, George Bryan in 1898 and Burl Wilson in 1901.
