News on Susan Madison wife of Noyes Jones


  News on Susan Madison wife of Noyes Jones
  By Susi Jones Pentico

  Finally, data has been located that is less confusing, than many others.  There are a couple of
  dates that are disagreed upon but they apply to the DAR /SAR Application not government      documents.

  Susan was born in Vermont, no matter what the children all said.  They each listed a different state.
  Susan Madison  b  24 March 1817 Pownall, VT  d 13 Feb 1881 Chickasaw Co. IA I have pictures of
  her and Noyes Jones tombstones. Graves were moved for road construction.
  Today would be her birthday.


   Her father is John Richardson Matteson
   b 14 Feb 1789 Dorset, Bennington Co. Vt
   d 12 May  1852  Lapeer Co. MI.

  Her Mother is Elizabeth   more work needed here.

  I find this interesting. Michigan again involved.  Also notice another Jones later is mentioned also.


  Her family  surname at this time is not proven for me.

  John Matteson father was Samuel Matteson 11
  b 16 Oct 1762 Bennington, Bennington Co. Vt.
  d  9  Apr 1848 Darien, NY

  Hannah Richardson John's wife was born
  b 14 July 1766 Cheshire, Berkshire Co. MA
  d 14 Mar 1852 Darien, Genesee Co. NY      4th Great Grandmother

  Samuel Matteson11 father was Samuel Matteson
  b 1725
  d 1777
  Rev War Oct 1775-1783 Rolls   5th Great Grandfather.
  Wife is implied a Dwyer, yet to be proven.

If you have more information to add we would love to have it.

John Wayne. Declared "4F medically unfit" due to pre-existing injuries, he nonetheless attempted to volunteer three times (Army, Navy and Film Corps.) so he gets honorable mention.

And of course we have Audie Murphy, America's most-decorated soldier, who became a Hollywood star as a result of his US Army service that included his being awarded the Medal of Honor.


Would someone please remind me again how many of today's Hollywood elite put their careers on hold to enlist in Iraq or Afghanistan?

The only one who even comes close was Pat Tillman, who turned down a contract offer of $3.6 million over three years from the Arizona Cardinals to enlist in the US Army after September, 11,  2001 and serve as a Ranger in Afghanistan, where he died in 2004. But rather than being lauded for his choice and his decision to put his country before his career, he was mocked and derided by many of his peers and the Left.


Ladies and Gentlemen, I submit to you that this is not the America today that it was seventy years ago. And I, for one, am saddened.

My generation grew up watching, being entertained by and laughing with so many of these fine people, never really knowing what they contributed to the war effort.  Like millions of Americans during the WWII, there was a job that needed done, they didn't question, they went and did it, those that came home returned to their now new normal life and carried on, very few ever saying what they did or saw.  They took it as their "responsibility", their "duty" to Country, to protect and preserve our freedoms and way of life, not just for themselves but for all future generations to come.  As a member of that "First" generation, I'm forever humbly in their debt.

Susan Madison/Mattison, a Female

Susan Madison/Mattison was born in Vermont  24 March 1818. At least it seems the case.
Her children had her born in 4 different places. Then Researchers say that area's boundary was bouncing at the this time frame.  May all be same place different day.

She supposedly married 1832 Mount Holyoke, MASS.  So far not found data.  She married Noyes JONES, son of Noel Jones, downline from Teague Jones family. Alternate spelling is Nois Jones.
Or even Noyce Jones.

All the children I have found were born in New York, except 1, Jones Hollow, Jones Rd area.  Petersburg area. Needless to say descendant's of Silas Jones Sr, with family in between.  After and about 1855 they moved to Nunda, Illinois.  After the Civil War the family moved to Chickasaw Co. area and died there.  They were in more than one location and ironic they even were moved after death from one spot to another due to a road being made.

Children were:
1.  Henry George (b1834  NY?), Noel (1835 Mass),  Louise Arvilla 1844, William Harrison (b1841)(dcd 1862)  , Calvin Fay*(1843-1909),  Jennie (1845),  Lucy(1847) and Charles E. (1850)   I have learned that Henry George was also known as George Henry. So much fun.

Henry G  b 3 Sept 1834  died 25 Sept 1912  m Kathryn Kerns 1863  IA.
     1. Elsie,  2. Hubert    3. Jesse Marion  (Maude Mae Stephens/Stevens) is connected ??

2. Noel  was born 1835, according to census in MASS, also according to family story he died there.
He did not migrate west with family but I have not found any information on him.
From family stories I got the impression they left NY area /Mass area because of his youthful death.
He was alive in 1850 in census.

3. Louise Arvilla, b 1840 ?, census. I have much data to enter for her. She married both Alfred and Addison Johnson after the other brother died.

4. William Harrison  b 1841   died 31 Dec 1962, Stone River Battle, Tennessee. I have picture of his tombstone and some war record data.

My line.  They had 1 girl and 5 living boys.  I descend from Car Fremont Jones via my Father, Ray Dee Jones Sr..

6.  Jennie was born 1845 in NY?, per census. d 28 Feb 1874. She married Fred Apel  1864 Crystal Lake, Ill.      Need more information.


7.  Lucy Jones  b 1847 m William Fuller.  need more data also.  

8.  Charles b 1850 NY.
I know Charles E was last born child in 1850. NY.  Renssealer Co. NY Jones Rd area. 1855 census 
died 26 Sept 1916 in Iowa.  Married Betsey Bartlett.  
Had children: daughter (Fanny) etc. of family moved to Wheatland, Wyo.  Married to William H Drew.

Charles took my Grandparents to Blue Mound, MInn to marry.  His daughter moved to Wyo.
Where my Grandfather  Jones went to find work. Brought  his wife to Wheatland and Dad met Mom (Hoffman) in Wheatland, Wyo.
This is how my parents were able to meet. 


 I need more information on Susan Madison?Mattison?  We found a brother near her in the 1870 census. The brother's son is back in the east the next census. The brother may have been in NE.

Horatio Mattison had son George Mattison.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR OLDEST GIRL

  As I am fatigued today from a family event. The thought I wanted to convey won't go away.

  On this day several years ago. I woke my Girl Friend Lucy and said it was time to go to the ferry,
  and Balboa Naval Hospital.  I went to her house and left the boys with her husband, with their daughter also asleep.

She drove us to the Ferry dock.  She told the ferryman I was in labor.  Wow, was that the creating of an interesting event.

I always got sea sick riding the ferry but we did it often since family lived in Lemon Grove and we were in Coronado.

The ferry man stopped loading the cars signaled the Captain of the eminent birth and the bar dropped and we started forward.

Never had a had such an exciting ride. Never dreamed the ferry could go so fast. We had a 30 foot or higher rooster tail. We were across the bay so fast and we bumped the landing.  The way was clear
and we were the second car off the ferry. In less than 20 minutes I was at Balboa Naval Hospital being admitted from the time we left Lucy's H.'s house.n  We both were still in awe at the speed and rooster tail of the ferry boat.

I did not get seasick. AMAZING

Within 30 minutes we had a girl in our family of boys. Husband's brother wanted a girl and ended up with five boys.  We had two boys then  later adding another girl and much later adding another boy.

Hubby was so excited to have the girl.  Seems they were scarce in his lineage.  So daughter one, is a morning baby.  She rolled at 6 weeks and terrified me.  Almost flipped off the table as I was packing her diaper bag. Brother Ed caught her with Don standing there to help. Startled us all.

She has been busy ever since. So many great little stories to tell her family.

We wish you a very great Happy Blessed Birthday Daughter.  3-3-66
