There is a Job Fish Jones who was a jeweler in New York State and whose wife's name was Evelyn R and the correct age for Evelyn
Rockwell Grannis. No J N Jones's out there that fit at all.

Job F and Evelyn R Jones are listed in the 1880 U S Federal Census for Dutchess, New York. Job's profession at that time
was jeweler.

Thanks for that -- I had only run across a notation of his occupation and marriage in Major Timothy Hatch of Hartford, Ct., and his descendants by Edward Hatch Fletcher (1879), which gave his name as J. N. Jones.

Your welcome. I did come across the Hatch information, but just couldn't confirm it. Even the best biographers get a little fuzzy with their information at times, or it may have just been a typo.

It might well have been -- the cap N box is just below the cap F box in the standard lay of a typecase -- careless distribution or hasty composing could easily end up with the two transposed; I've done it myself.
