Notes
General:
In the 1850 census Frances C. Jones (16, Ga) is in the household of E. E. Jones (55, $20000, physician). E. E. Jones is Elijah E. Jones, who was appointed as the guardian of Susan Thomas Reese, Joseph Reese, and Frances Comelia Reese, orphans of Joseph Reese, dec'd. I suspect that Frances C. Jones is in fact Frances C. Reese.
