George W. Jones

George W. Jones is the father of my dad, George David Jones and his sister, Ruth Elizabeth Armstrong-Jones. From what I understand of when Ruth was very young, George W. planned a fake suicide. He and one of his brothers staged an accident with a train engine. The story lingered but no one believed it. There were some clothes tossed about but no body, no blood and no clues. Truth was that he had another complete family including marriage and a son named George. That is why my dad was always called Bob or Bobby. Mr. George W. was told he must choose one family and leave the other. He was never again seen by my dad or Ruth.

I am sending a request now to the last remaining person who might know any more about the fellow.

George W. Jones was George David Jones' father. His father was Henry R. Jones.  Mother always called him John Henry. (from Aunt Dorothy Tweedt)
