Jonas ELY I
Ms. __?__
Euphen WILSON

WARNING: I don't know for certain that Jonas had two wives, but an earlier wife would account for the three oldest children in the household. Other possibilities are that the marriage date to Effie is wrong or that the three older children are not Jonas's, at all.
