General Notes: .
CLIO ALVIS JONES
Mrs. Clio Alvis Jones, age 82, died May 2, 2000, in DeFuniak Springs, Fla. Mrs. Jones was born March 31, 1918, the daughter of the late Arthur and Viola Adams Adkison, in Walton County, Fla., where she remained a lifelong resident. She was the owner and operator of Jones' Grocery Store for the past fifty-nine years. She was a Baptist by faith. She is preceded in by her grandson, Brian Sharp. Mrs. Jones is survived by her husband of sixty-three years, Austin Ford Jones of DeFuniak; her son, Gene Austin Jones and his wife, Carolynn of DeFuniak Springs; her daughters, Pat Bottoms and her husband, John of DeFuniak and Tammy Henely and her husband, Tom of Panama City Beach and five grandchildren: Michelle Jones, Sam Jones, Emmitt Bottoms, Eric Henely and Adam Henely.

About 1940 Austin and Clio Jones traded their farm (located where the current Bruce Ward place is on Wykoff road) to Horace and Emily Jones for a place in the heart of the Liberty Community. This new place had originally belonged to the Hamilton’s and it had a small country store on it. I understand Emily, who was originally a Hamilton had inherited the place.

This store was centrally located and it served as a provider of supplies and a place to meet your neighbors and trade gossip. In the early days the atmosphere was very much like what you would expect in a country store. You could sit on the porch, dip snuff, and gossip with your friends and neighbors. After visiting awhile you could then get the sack of flour you needed and fill your kerosene can for the oil lamps. If you were one of the few with a car the store had the old gas pumps where you pumped a long handle to fill a graduated glass cylinder, that was then drained into your vehicle.

Clio, became obsessed with the store and devoted much of her life to it. It had been in operation many years before the trade. She turned It into a seven day operation that ran 365 days a year. Under her management and long hours of work it developed into a business that largely supported a family and put three children through college.

. In the late 30’s and early 40’s traffic on Highway 331 was very limited and you might not see a dozen cars pass all day long. As the years went by this changed and By the 80’s and 90’s you would often see a caravan of beach traffic with 30 to 40 cars running bumper to bumper. This resulted in the store changing and becoming more of a convenience store. However, it remained a place where the locals liked to gather and talk to old friends and catch up on local happenings.

Clio devoted years of her life to the store. Ironically, On 2 may 2000 while crossing the road from her house to open the store before daylight and in a heavy fog she was struck and killed by a car.

In West Florida at Big Creek, two miles from where Laurel Hill is located, a wagon broke down. They built camp, found much wild game and fish and a beautiful country to live in. That ended the Oklahoma trip. All spent there lives there and are buried in Crowder Chapel Cemetery, five miles north of Mossy Head Florida. . Extracted from a letter to Dode McIntosh written by Doris T Padgett.

Another account, from Matt Turners MyFamily.com tree.

Name taken from Genesis 41:45, "And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath Paaneah...” He was also called ZNP, Zaf and usually Zaph.
When Zaph was 17 and living in Stewart County, Georgia, he ran away from home to marry a Creek Indian girl, Sarah Ann Cousins, age 15. They left Georgia with three other related families (Kennington's, Covington's and Sarah's parents, William Cousins and Kate McIntosh), planning to migrate west. They crossed into Alabama at Eufaula, Alabama. All the families were full or part Creek Indians and Eufuala was an Indian village (named for a sub-tribe of the Creek Nation called Eufali). The families stopped at Clayton, Barbour County, where Zaph and Sarah were married 22 September 1841. They continued on to the fork of the Choctawhatchee and Pea rivers near Geneva, Alabama and the Florida state line. They remained there until after their daughter was born before continuing. They entered Florida and continued west, until about 2 miles from Almirante (present day Laurel Hill) near Big Creek, when a wagon wheel broke. They stopped and made camp to make repairs and liked the area so much, that they decided to stay. Zaph's father, James Turner, sent 2 freed slave couples with mules and wagons to help them get the farm started. They built log cabins and a blacksmith's shop, dammed up Big Creek and built a grist mill (the old mill site is still there). In 1876, they relocated, with sons, Frances Marion and Russell, to the Shoal River, 5 miles from Mossey Head and bought an abandoned slave plantation. Zaph and Sarah lived on the south side of the river, the boys lived on the North side and they built a wooden bridge over the river, known as Turner Bridge.
Zaph and Sarah had 15 children, 13 of whom survived.
Buried at Crowder Chapel Cemetery about 3 miles from Mossey Head, Florida.

In a previous post, you mentioned Ossimus Crutchfield, who married Sarah Turner in Stewart Co. GA on Nov. 20, 1838. Sarah Turner's brother, Zaph Turner (1824-1893), who is my ancestor, married Sarah Ann Cousins, who was the granddaughter of Creek Indian Chief Wm.McIntosh. These families all lived in the Shady Grove church area of Stewart Co. GA., with the Cousins family definitely being part Native American. I have not been able to find out anything further about Ossimus Crutchfield, but he could very well have been part Native American.

Zaphnath married Sara Ann Cousins on 21 Sep 1841 in Claton, Barbour Alqbama.

General Notes: Columbus served in the Confederate army.
From: 5th Alabama Infantry Regiment History and roster, compiled by James D. Allen
Hamilton, C., New Co. E

He filed an application for a pension in the State of Florida in 1907:
From Pension Application A12049:
Surname: HAMILTON
Given Names: Columbus
Service Unit: Alabama
Application County & Year: Walton Co 1907

The pension application shows that Columbus enlisted in the Confederate Army sometimes in Aug 1862 at camp Watts about 3 or 4 miles from Tuskegee, in co
E, 5th Ala Regiment, He was wounded in the left leg just above the ankle by gunshot, and was taken prisoner at Gettysburg Pa.

Bernice tells of Horace and Emily sitting around the fire at night and telling stories to the kids. One of her favorite was of Grandpa Hamilton coming home from the War.
Grandma was in the back yard doing the wash. She was agitating the clothes in an old iron pot while they boiled over a fire when one of the kids came running up and yelled momma I see poppa coming down the road. Grandma chastised the little boy for telling lies as the whole family thought Grandpa was dead. It was nearly two years after the war had ended and no one had heard a word from him after the battle of Gettysburg where so many confederate soldiers were killed.
Great Grandpa (would have had to be Mr. Goolsby as Daniel died in 1852) was sitting on the front porch driving pegs in a new pair of shoes he was making when Grandpa Columbus came hobbling up. In disbelief he just kept working on the shoe.
He then related how when the war was over and he was released from the Union Prison and Hospital in Baltimore Md. it took nearly two years to hobble on his crutches and hitch hike home. He also told how the surgeons had no either and gave alcohol to deaden the pain while they worked on the shattered leg bone that he got when he was wounded at Gettysburg.

A land patent shows that Columbus purchased 119 acres in Coffee Co Ala, in 1858.

1867 and 1868 voter list for Walton Co showed that Columbus voted
In precinct 9 and that he had been in county/state for 8 months.
