Notes
a. Note:   RESEARCH STANDARD APPLIED
 Researched by Timothy J. Barron, updated March 20, 2021
  Franklin Lee Jones is my paternal third great uncle, which is via common ancestry with George W. Jones and Elizabeth McClanathan. Franklin was initially identified in the census living with his parents.
  Based on the application of recognized genealogical standards of proof, the descent and family structure of Franklin Lee Jones has been sufficiently established beyond any reasonable doubt. The basis for the descent of Franklin begins with the census records, which show him living with his parents. This is followed by his marriage record and obituaries, which lists the full names of both parents. The basis for the family structure begins with the marriage record, and is followed by the census records. This has been subsequently supported with the additional interlocking records and documentation listed further below.
  Franklin Lee Jones married the Fransina McClanathan (née Deyo), who was the widow of his maternal uncle Franklin McClanathan, and who is my paternal fourth great uncle. Franklin had no children. Franklin McClanathan and Fransina had one son, William Franklin McClanathan. This results in four informational attributes that might be initially challenging to digest. First, Fransina was the widow of his maternal uncle. Second, there was an age difference of about 31 years. The age difference is correctly shown on the 1910 and 1920 census records. Probably to avoid stares and questions, they fibbed about Fransina's age on the marriage record, which lists her as being only 11 years older than Franklin. Third, they were living with his parents. The marriage application lists the same address for both of them, which is the address of Franklin's parents. This implies that after the death of her husband, Fransina moved in as a boarder to his parents, so the relationship began in the home of Franklin's parents. Fourth and lastly, Fransina had a son William Franklin McClanathan, who was obviously the first cousin of Franklin, and now Franklin became his step father. Franklin was 11 years younger than his first cousin, who was already married with children of his own.
