b. 22 September 1906, d. 21 December 1984
Family
Father-Possible*Sherman Lewis Hawhee6,4,5 b. 3 Apr 1887, d. 26 Jun 1952
Mother*Mary Jones3,4,5 b. 7 Nov 1886, d. bt 1920 - 1930
Birth*22 September 1906Blanche Jones was born on 22 September 1906 in Orange County, Indiana.7,3,8,9,4 
Research Notes* Her birth was illegitimate, and we don't know how or when she came to believe that Sherman Lewis Hawhee was her biological father. We have found no records to indicate that Blanche and Sherman spent any time together, although they did live for much of the time in the same town of French Lick, Orange County, Indiana. We suspect her belief was correct because, after his death, Sherman Hawhee was identified by name as her father, and his three daughters, who survived Blanche, were also identified by name as her half-sisters, in Blanche's 1984 obituary.4,5 
Name VariationWhen she was young, Blanche's name was recorded as Nellie B. Jones.7 
(Grandniece) Census US 191018 April 1910She was enumerated, with her mother and brother, as Nellie B. Jones on the 1910 census taken on 18 April 1910 in the household of her grandaunt and granduncle, Carrie and Ercurius A. Stanfield, in French Lick, Orange County, Indiana. Nellie was 3 years old.3 
(Daughter) Marriage11 August 1911She was 4 years old when her mother married, on 11 August 1911, to Clark Mills. He was a widower with three children, William, Lida and Etta, ages 20, 16 and 12 years, respectively.10,11 
(Daughter-Possible) Marriage1 July 1914She was 7 years old when, on 1 July 1914, Sherman Hawhee married, as his first wife, Leora Crecelius. Four years earlier, Leora had given birth to Sherman's illegitimate daughter, Margaret.12,6,13 
Marriage*1923Nellie married first, as his second wife, Noble Overton Charles, son of Wilber A. Charles and Rhoda Halbert, about 1923. On the 1930 census, Nellie, who was calling herself Blanche, reported she had been 17 years old when she married for the first time.2,7,14 
(Daughter) Deathbetween 1920 and 1930She was somewhere between the ages of 13 and 23 years when her mother died between 1920 and 1930, between the ages of 33 and 43 years. Her mother had been enumerated with her husband, Clark Mills, and Blanche's two half-brothers, Paul Jones and Clarence Mills, on the 1920 census, and on the 1930 census, Blanche's stepfather was a widower and was enumerated only with his 15-year-old son, Clarence.15,16 
Census US 19307 April 1930Blanche and Noble Charles were enumerated on the 1930 census taken on 7 April 1930 on United States Road #150, French Lick, Orange County, Indiana. Noble was 29 years of age, had been age 18 when he married for the first time, and worked for wages as a laborer doing road construction, although he had not worked the day before the census was taken. Blanche was 24 years of age, had been age 17 when she married for the first time, worked for wages doing laundry work at a laundry, and had been at work the day before. They rented their house, which was not on a farm, for $10 per month. The couple's son, Lawrence, was 5 years old. Also enumerated with the family was Noble's sister, Anna Jones, and her son, Robert Charles. Anna was 24 years of age, had been age 18 when she married for the first time, worked for wages as a saleswoman at a grocers, and had worked the day before the census was taken. Anna's son, Robert, was 6 years old and had attended school within the census year. All of the adults in the household were able to read, write and to speak English.

In the next household on the same census page, after Noble and Blanche, Clark Mills, the widowed husband of Blanche Charles's deceased mother, and therefore Blanche's stepfather, was enumerated with his 15-year-old son, Clarence. And, in the next household after Clark Mills, on the same census page, Elvet Runyon, whom Noble's sister Anna would marry in 1931 after his first wife's death, was enumerated with his wife. And, going up the same census page, in the second household above Noble and Blanche, Noble and Anna's other sister, Mary Love, was enumerated with her husband, Harry Love, and Mary's two children from her first marriage.14,16 
Census US 1940*18 April 1940Blanche and Noble Charles were enumerated on the 1940 census taken on 18 April 1940 on State Roads 150 and 56, east of Prospect, Rural, Orange County, Indiana. Noble was 39 years of age, had completed his education through the 8th grade of elementary school, and worked for wages as an operator in a privately owned saw mill. He was at work the day before the census was taken, had worked 40 hours the week before, and worked 52 weeks in 1939 for a total income of $2,100. Blanche was 33 years of age, had completed her education through the 8th grade of elementary school, and worked doing her own housework. They owned their house, which was on a farm, and valued at $1,500. The couple's son, Lawrence, was enumerated with them. He was 15 years old, had completed his education through the 7th grade of elementary school, and had attended school within the census year. The family had lived in rural Orange County, although not in the same house, on April 1, 1935.

In the next household after Noble and Blanche on the same census page, Noble's sister and brother-in-law, Mary and Harry Love, were enumerated with Mary's son from her first marriage. And, three houses above Noble and Blanche on the same census page, Noble and Mary's mother, Rhoda Charles, was enumerated with her other daughter, Anna Runyon, and Anna's three children.17,18,19 
Marriage31 May 1941Blanche and Noble remarried to each other a second time on 31 May 1941 in Fentress County, Tennessee. We have found no reason to explain why.2,1 
Divorce*before May 1943Blanche and Noble separated, probably before May 1943 when their son, Lawrence, who was 18 years old and living in Evansville, Vanderburgh County, Indiana, enlisted in the Army and indicated he was single with dependents. We suspect his mother was his dependent, as she had also left Orange County and was living in Evansville. Blanche and Noble likely divorced, and both remarried, Noble in June of 1946 and Blanche in October of 1946.20,21,22 
World War II*13 May 1944Blanche Charles enlisted on 13 May 1944 in Indianapolis, Indiana, to serve as a Private in the Womens Army Corps during World War II. She was 37 years of age, married, a resident of Vanderburgh County, Indiana, a citizen of the United States and had a grammar school education. Her civil occupation was recorded as "Managers and Officials, N.E.C.", and we learned that an Army NEC, (Nominated Enlisted Classification) refers to a specialized military occupation code used to designate specific skills or qualifications within the Army. These classifications helped assign personnel to roles that matched their expertise, such as technical, medical, or operational specialties.23 
(Mother) Death15 July 1944Her son Lawrence died on 15 July 1944 at age 19 while serving in the U.S. Army Air Forces. He was admitted to an Army hospital in July 1944 as a battle casualty and died, in the line of duty, in the hospital. His hospital record reported his length of service as 1 year, 2 months.24,25 
World War II*16 September 1944 News of Lawrence's death was slow to reach Indiana. In September of 1944, two months after his death, Washington DC reported through newspapers that Lawrence was missing in action in the Mediterranean combat area. His mother, Blanche N. Charles of R.R. 6, Evansville, Indiana, was identified by the newspaper, although his father and wife were not mentioned.22 
World War II*29 October 1945After the war ended, Blanche was discharged from the Army on 29 October 1945.9 
Marriage*October 1946She married, as her second husband, Frederick R. Payton, son of William Walter Payton and Stella M. Milligan, about October 1946, probably in Dubois County, Indiana, where they obtained their marriage license.26,27,28 
Census US 1950*1 May 1950Blanche N. and Frederick R. Payton were enumerated on the 1950 census taken on 1 May 1950 on the Tamiami Trail, Sarasota County, Florida. Frederick was 34 years of age and working as a house painter in his own business. He had worked 40 hours the week before the census was taken, and had been at work the day before. Blanche was 40 years of age and worked doing her own housework. Her line number was selected for supplemental questions, and we learned that they had lived in Sarasota County one year before, although not in the same house or on a farm. She was recorded as having completed her education through the 12th grade of high school, and did not work at all, or earn any income from working, in 1949. Frederick's brother and sister-in-law, Doris and Merrill Payton, were enumerated with Blanche and Frederick in 1950. Merrill was 38 years of age and worked as a painter for a privately owned business, which we suspect was the business owned by his brother. Merrill had worked 40 hours the week before the census was taken, and had been at work the day before. His wife Doris was 26 years of age and worked helping Blanche with her housework.29 
(Mother) Burial12 May 1950The body of her son, Lawrence, was returned from overseas by the Army Air Corp in 1950 and he was buried as Staff Sergeant Lawrence N. Charles on 12 May 1950 in a group grave, with five other soldiers, in Section 84, Grave Site# 114-116 of the Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery, Lemay Township, St. Louis County, Missouri.24,30 
(Wife) Death4 January 1959Blanche became a widow when Frederick R. Payton died on 4 January 1959 at age 42.27,31 
(Wife) BurialFrederick was buried in Ames Chapel Cemetery, Paoli, Orange County, Indiana, and his grave marker was prepared with Frederick's name and the years of his birth and death, and also with his wife Blanche's name, without the years of her birth and death, as she had not yet died. A second grave marker for Frederick in the Ames Chapel Cemetery honors his service as a Tec 4 in the U.S. Army during World War II and includes his name and the dates of his birth and death.28,27
Marriage*1960Blanche married third, as his second wife, Harry R. Maxson in 1960.4 
(Half-Sister) Death1 February 1971Her half-brother, Paul Samuel Jones, died on 1 February 1971 at his home, 219 West Virginia Avenue, French Lick, Orange County, Indiana, at age 61.32 
(Half-Sister) ObituaryThe obituary of her half-brother, Paul Samuel Jones, which was published the day after his death in The Times-Mail, Bedford, Lawrence County, Indiana, reported among his survivors his half-siblings, Mrs. Blanche Maxson of Punta Gorda, Florida, and Clarence Mills of Mitchell, Indiana.32 
Death*21 December 1984Blanche died on 21 December 1984 in Orange County Hospital, Paoli, Orange County, Indiana, at age 78.4,5 
Obituary22 December 1984Her obituary was published on 22 December 1984, the day after her death, in The Times-Mail newspaper of Bedford, Lawrence County, Indiana. It named her father, Sherman Hawhee, her mother, Mary Jones, her husband, Harry R. Maxson, and three half-sisters, Beatrice Hanger, Reita Noble and Margaret Stobie, all daughters of her biological father Sherman Hawhee and his wife, Essie Leora (Crecelius) Hawhee. Blanche's three stepdaughters and three stepsons, all children of Harry Maxson, were also identified by name in the newspaper.4 
Burial*She was buried as Blanche N. (Hawhee) Maxson in Paoli, Orange County, Indiana. Her grave marker honors her service in World War II as a PFC in the U.S. Army and includes the dates of her birth and death.33

Death*15 July 1912He died tragically on 15 July 1912 in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, at age 38. The story of his accidental death was reported on 19 July 1912 in the Rock Springs Rocket under the headline, "Conductor Killed at Wamsutter", and was transcribed for his memorial page as:

Claude D. Jones was injured July 15th while at work in caboose No. 2445, on an extra train westbound, No. 297, about five miles west of Wamsutter. Mr. Jones was conductor in charge of the extra which was following a work crew, picking up cars of scraps.

On the car in front of the caboose among the other materials, were a couple of steel rails and the cars were not provided with up rights to hold same in place. The car was bumped and one of the rails fell off, striking on one end and turning completely over and the other end going through the back end of the caboose and striking the conductor in the temple as he was at work at his desk. The accident was at the station known as Frewen at 1:08 p.m., and he was hurried to Rawlins but died at Wood’s Cut at 2:08 p.m. on the way. He left Rawlins the same morning at 7:00 on his trip.

Coroner McAllister went to the scene of the accident taking a jury from here, and the inquest was held. The verdict was returned that deceased came to his death from negligence of the Union Pacific Railroad company, in not furnishing proper equipment for cars to load scrap material.

Deceased was a married man and had no children. He was very well known in Rock Springs and his friends are grieved to learn of his untimely death. The funeral was held at Rawlins yesterday afternoon.7 
Burial*18 July 1912He was buried on 18 July 1912 in Plot 3-H-10-1 of Rawlins Cemetery, Rawlins, Carbon County, Wyoming.2

Elizabeth Jones1

Family
Father*_____ Jones2
MarriageFebruary 1635She married at Salisbury, Somerset County, England, as his second wife, Antony Thacher, son of Reverend Peter Thacher of Queen Camel, in February 1635 about six weeks before the date of their sailing to New England.2 
Emigration*20 March 1635Elizabeth's brother, Richard Jones, had been living in Dinder, Somerset County, England, when he sailed to New England from Weymouth, County Dorset on 20 March 1635.2 
Emigration*5 April 1635Elizabeth and her new husband of just a few weeks, Antony Thacher, with the four oldest of Antony's five children, and his nephew, Thomas Thacher, sailed from Southampton, Hampshire, England, to New England on 5 April 1635 on the ship James of London.2 
(Wife) Relocation15 August 1635 Neither the exact place, nor date, of landing in New England of the ship James has been agreed upon by historians. Whether Boston, Newbury or Ipswich, wherever the passengers first landed, Antony Thacher and Joseph Avery and their families sojourned for a short time in Ipswich, Massachusetts. While there, Reverend Avery received a call to preach in Marblehead, then a part of Salem. During the time he took for deliberation, the two families removed to Newbury with plans to settle there. But after Avery accepted the call to Marblehead, he and his family of eleven all told, accompanied by Antony Thacher and his wife Elizabeth (Jones) Thacher, and his children by his first wife, William, Edith, Mary and Peter, went back to Ipswich. From there they embarked for Marblehead. Antony Thacher's nephew, Thomas Thacher, who had sailed with his uncle's family to New England, felt a sentiment of evil about the trip and did not accompany them on the voyage. Instead Thomas decided to make the journey overland despite the danger of being attacked by hostile Indians. The Thacher-Avery party embarked from Ipswich for Marblehead in a pinnace and the vessel was wrecked on 15 August 1635. All on board were lost except Antony Thacher and his second wife Elizabeth (Jones) Thacher.2 
Residence*After some moving around, Elizabeth and Antony Thacher settled in Yarmouth, Plymouth Colony.2 
(Wife) Deathbetween 30 June 1667 and 22 August 1667Elizabeth became a widow when Antony Thacher died between 30 June 1667 and 22 August 1667.2
