Notes for Melissa Ellen Jones
It appears that Melissa Edna Jones was first married to Absolem Tumlinson but they must have divorced after the birth of Mary Ellen Tumlinson in 1850. She married Ulysses Rabb in Colorado in 1855. Her children by both husbands were living with Melissa’s parents, Enoch and Nancy Jones, at the time of the 1860 census (see miscellaneous note on the record of Enoch Jones). Absolem Tumlinson remarried and lived until 1889.
