However, family testimony for his death record in Monongalia County, W.Va. cited the dates reported here. The 1850 census in Monongalia County reported he was born in Maryland. The 1880 census said he was born in Pennsylvania to a Pennsylvania father and W.Va. mother. During the 1880 census, he was living at Promise City, Wayne Co. IA, with his grandson Sanford Jones who lived next door to this David's wife Phebe's nephew Joseph Masters. Sanford, not to be confused with another Sanford Jones in the same city (in Jones Cemetery there), was the son of this David's son William. It is unclear in either census case who the reporter to the census taker had been. It might not have been him in either case. The death record also reports he died in an accident, but details about the nature of that are not yet known. According to other passed-down family lore about him, this David was born to a McMillen or McMullen family but then adopted by a Jones family whose wife's name had been Martha Patterson before she married Jones. (Not to be confused with David's daughter Martha Jones who also married a Patterson). However, DNA tracking among his known descendants appears to indicate that he might relate simultaneously to a McMullen immigrant family to Philadelphia and York/Franklin/Huntingdon counties, PA, and to Martha Patterson as potentially his natural mother rather than as an adoptive one. But that conclusion range and basis is yet debated. But a number of his known descendants from different children of his do track to that same McMullen family. Some cemetery transcriptions say or imply that his wife Phebe/Phoebe is buried with him here. She died well before he did (in 1886). Their son John H. and John's wife Alvira and two of John and Alvira's children are buried a few paces across this cemetery from this spot. The other family graves and his do not allude to his wife. It is not clear whether she had once had her own stone or whether she had first been unmarked or whether she actually is in another location that has not yet been discovered.
