Keal Information
I know little more about my mother's side of the family. Although the family is rather large, I know little about the generations before my great grandfather. My mother's maternal grandparents were Claude Samuel Jones (Dec. 18, 1886 - Apr. 11, 1972) and Maudie Jane Caudill Jones (May 6, 1899 - Aug. 11, 1955). They had ten children:
- Flora Jones Dugan - Mar. 15, 1908 - Aug. 29, 1986
- Melvin Jones - Nov. 9, 1910 - Jan. 15, 1992
- Robert Preston Jones - Sept. 24, 1912 - 1954
- Anna Jones - June 22, 1915 - 1915
- Lucy Edith Jones Earls - Oct. 8, 1919 -
- Sadie Jones Cornell - Apr. 24, 1922 -
- Wilbur Franklin Jones - Mar. 17, 1924 -
- Adiegar Jones Dugan - Jan. 24, 1927 - Dec. 17, 1984
- Clyde Jones - Mar. 18, 1930 -
- Lottie Kathryn Jones Keal - June 28, 1917 - Dec. 4, 1940
My mother's grandfather then married Gladys Mae Beair Jones (Mar. 30, 1926), and had eight more children:
- George Samuel Jones - Feb. 4, 1946 -
- Mary Belle Jones Mers England - July 19, 1947 -

- Carolyn Sue Jones Simpson - Apr. 9, 1954 -
- Earl Lee Jones - Jan. 21, 1956 -
- Goldie Kathryn Jones Newdigate - May 16, 1957 -
- Elizabeth Francis Jones Ginn - Jan. 23, 1959 -
Each have families of their own and are too extensive to list here.
My mother's paternal great-grandparents were George Benjamin Jones (Aug. 20, 1858 - June 8, 1944) and Ebbie Lenora Belle Lee Jones (Jan. 21, 1865 - May 15, 1931). They had eight children:
- Bertha Jones Bailey - Mar. 20, 1883 - ?
- Bessie Jones Brammer Saunders - Jan. 26, 1885 - ?
- Maude Jones Plank - Dec. 18, 1886 - Dec. 21, 1971
- Claude Samuel Jones - Dec. 18, 1886 - Apr. 11, 1972
- Warren Jones - Aug. 11, 1889 - ?
- Elizabeth Jones Ackerman - Aug. 7, 1898 - ?
- James Wille Jones - July 19, 1900 - ?
- Mamie Jones McNabb - June 10, 1893 - ?
My mother's father, Arthur Brown Keal (May 7, 1914 - Sept. 21, 1968), married three times and had three sets of children. His first wife, Lottie Kathryn Jones Keal (June 28, 1917 - Dec. 4, 1940), gave him three daughters:
- Lily Joyce Keal Dugan - Apr. 19, 1938 -
- Betty Jean Keal Hickman - Sept. 19, 1939 -
- Lottie B. Keal Gallenstein - Dec. 4, 1940 -
He then married Matilda Francis Purcell Keal and produced three more children:
After which he married Lillian Kathryn Carpenter Keal (June 28, 1917 - Dec. 4, 1940) and had four more children:
- Sharon Kay Keal - June 7, 1953 -
- John Wayne Keal - April 17, 1954 -
- Kathy Mae Keal - July 19, 1955 -
- Jerry Ray Keal - July 19, 1955 - Jan. 26, 1956
Paternal great-grandparents were Leander Cox Keal and Mary Lena Wheeler Keal. They produced five children:
- Clifton Keal - ?
- Lee B. Keal - ?
- Ern Keal - ?
- Blanche Keal - ?
- Thomas Hargus Keal - Nov. 26, 1880 - ?
- Kitty Keal - ?
Supposedly, there is a relation to Davy Crockett, 'King of the Wild Fronteir,' on my mother's side of the family. Davy Crockett was last seen fighting at the Alamo, in San Antoinio, TX. Paternal grandparents were Thomas Hargus Keal (Nov. 26, 1880 - ?) and Anna May Crockett Keal (?). This relationship produced seven children:
- Lee Thomas Keal - Feb. 28, 1904 - Oct. 1, 1958
- Pauline Keal Henson - Aug. 28, 1910 - ?
- Edith Keal Mitchell Gibson - Feb. 18, 1912 - ?
- Arthur Brown Keal - May 7, 1914 - Sept. 21, 1968
- Ethel Keal Mitchell - ?
- Aileen Keal - ?
- Oran Francis Keal - ?
Hattie Hughes Crockett was my mother's maternal great-grandmother. I have no name for her husband, and I believe this to be the link to Davy Crockett. She had six children:
- Opal Crockett Dodge - ?
- Ray Crockett - ?
- Herdie Crockett - ?
- Lucy Crockett - ?
- Daisy Crockett Yazell - ?
- Aileen Keal - ?
- Anna May Crockett Keal - ?
