She may have been 16 or 20 years old, all decked out in a dress, flowers in hair and around her neck, big earrings, a cross and a ribbon around her neck and white lace cuffs on her sleeves.

The notice was pasted on the inside front cover of the Autograph Book made by Annie Mae Jones (Smyre) (1917-2008). The Autography Book is in the possession of Toby Terrar, given to him by Annie Mae Smyre’s son, Billy Smyre, on 6/6/08, at the time she died. The notice read:

Robert Frederick Jones This is Robert "Bob" "Poppa" Frederick Jones (1854-1935) (2.1.4.2). He was not a descendant of Eli Jones but of Eli's older brother, James Jones. He is pictured here because he was married to his second cousin, Fannie Jones, pictured above. Bob's parents were Robert Lorenzo Jones (1823-1896) and Susan A. (Watts) Jones (1834-1856). The parents of Robert Lorenzo Jones were James F. Jones (1782-before 1854) and Susannah Jones (1790-1875). This picture was taken at Poppa's farm in Dalzell, South Carolina. He is sitting in his rocker on the porch smoking his pipe. He and Fannie built the porch and the house. His right arm is shown in the picture. His left arm had been cut off in a sawmill accident. To do hoeing he had a strap that attached his arm stub to the hoe. Similarly, he was able to do his plowing by attaching a strap to his arm stub. He had his Bible on a ledge above his head on the porch. He read it a good bit. He used suspenders to hold up his pants. The picture was taken in the 1930s. (ch-jpg/J24-3.jpg).

Charles L. Jones and his grandson, Charles Hubert Hill Charles L. Jones (1879-1949) and his grandson, Charles Hubert about 1946 in front of the smokehouse on the farm in Dalzell, S.C. where he was the overseer (farm manager) for Mr. Barnett. Later Mr. Barnett's son, who died in Alabama in 1996, owned the place. Charlie was the overseer for a number of contiguous farms that housed five or so tenant families. Charlie had a Number 10 bell which was rung when it was time to go into the field to work. In recent times Ronnie Weldon donated this bell to the Sumter County Historical Society. Among Charlie's skills was veterinary science. Whenever a horse, mule, cow or dog had a problem, it was Charlie that was consulted by everyone in the neighborhood. In this picture, Charlie was wearing a three piece suit and a fancy hat. He adopted Hazel and Edmunds Hogan, who were the orphaned children of his sister, Annie Jones Hogan. In the 1930s and 1940s, he liked to go cat fishing with Walter Weldon, who was married to his second cousin, Ethel Ross Weldon.
Bill McCall Among the tenant families that Charlie Jones oversaw was that of Bill McCall. For Lena Jones Hill, one of Charlie's daughters, the tenant families were part of her own family. That was something that Methodism taught. Here Bill McCall is holding Lena's son in about 1946. The child and the dog to the lower right were talking to each other. In the background on the right can be seen a woman with a large sack over her shoulder. It was fall and time for the cotton harvest. Cotton paid the rent.

It was taken about 1926 on the steps of their Dalzell, S.C. home. The identities of only the six children with numbers on them are known. These children are: 1) Charles L. “Ren” Jones, Jr.; 2) Lena Jones (Hill); 3) Allene Jones; 4) Francis (Eute) Jones (Henry); 5) Annie Mae Jones (Smyre); and 6) Hazel Hogan (Terrar).

Bonnie Smyre The first child of Momma and Poppa Jones was Charlie Jones. One of Charlie's grandsons, Billy Smyre (b. 1946) became a computer programmer. He played a crucial part in the creation of this web page. He had a daughter, Bonnie, who likewise took up the programmer trade. She created this web page, complete with the picture pop-out design. She used Javascript. Without Billy there would have been no Bonnie and no web page, or at least not the elegant one that we have now. Billy is pictured here with wife Barbie, who is also a programmer. (2004.02.02, ch-jpg/jones-2.jpg).
Bonnie Smyre This is Bonnie Smyre, creator of this web page. Left to right: Hazel (b. 1914) and Ed Terrar (1920-2004) and Bonnie Smyre.

Bonnie is a computer programmer at the University of North Carolina and this is her office, which is above the restaurant where we had lunch. Bonnie’s great grandparents were Charlie and Clyde Jones. They adopted Hazel, age 10, when her dad died in 1923 and her mother (Annie Jones Hogan) was unable to provide for her. Hazel and Bonnie’s grandmother (Annie Mae Jones Smyre) grew up as sisters. As a child, Toby and Bonnie’s dad, Billie Smyre, used to see each when there were family gatherings at Clyde’s place (which was really Lena and Hubert Hill’s place). (2004.02.02, ch-jpg/04-2-02.jpg).
Charles Henry This is another descendant of Momma and Poppa Jones through their oldest son, Charlie. This descendant is the grandson of Charlie and named after him, Charles H. Henry (b. 1954) son of Francis Eute (Jones) and Harold Henry. (J29.6, ch-jpg/J29-6.jpg).

During World War II, like many former enlisted men with much military experience, he was made an officer. Such officers were called mustangs because they bucked up from the ranks. Rob's grandfather, Charlie Jones, had been a mustang of sorts in the Confederate army. The picture was sent to Rob's niece, Rosy Hogan, with a note on the back. The note is below. (33.1)
