Can I ask for help finding the parents of Hannah (Jarvis) Jones (1811-1849)?

Question

I'm trying to find the parents of Hannah (Jarvis) Jones.

She was born in 1811, married Jonathan Jones 1830, and died in 1849. They lived in North Carolina.

I've looked at FamilySearch, Ancestry, FindAGrave and there are three seperate sets of possible parents. Nobody seems to agree.

The likely candidates are:

Daniel Jarvis & Lydia Jones

Stephen Jarvis & Mary Davis

John Jarvis & Sarah O'Brien

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Answer 1

The FG reference states "Wife of Johnathan Jones and daughter of Stephen Jarvis and Mary (Davis) Jarvis. Granddaughter of John Davis and Hannah (Bills) Davis." That is pretty specific and gives research starting points.

All the marriage records, and other sources are attached in FamilyTree to K4GP-WBL.

Unfortunately, Hannah Jarvis is not a rare name, and if she had lived a year longer to be included on the 1850 census, there may have been more info about birth location.

Comments

I originally went with the Findagrave info, but then I looked at Familysearch and their tree says her parents are Daniel Jarvis & Lydia Jones. Then I looked at Ancestry and the majority of the family trees on there say her parents are John Jarvis & Sarah O’Brien. I can’t find a source for any of them to definitely be her parents.

The Stephen Jarvis you created, Jarvis-6523, at least has someone the correct age on the 1820 Census.  Since he died in 1829, have to look at his wife, and there is a Mary Jarvis in Surry with a female of the right age in the 1830 Census.  She may have remarried or died before the 1840 Census, and Hannah was married by then anyway.
