About the Publisher

My name is Jarrial (Jerry) Astor Stokes,
my wife of 58 years is
Margaret (Peggy) Sawyer Reed Stokes. 
Our daughter is Sandra Stokes Montague,
Minister of the First Baptist Church of Charlotte, NC,
married to Wayne Montague and I have
two grandchildren, Andy and Elizabeth.

I was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, January 14, 1923,
and Bobbie Stokes Foard are the last surviving children of
Nancy Elizabeth Jones Stokes of
the Jones Sisters of Hartsville, South Carolina.

My grandfather, Callip Jones - born in1859,
and our grandmother, Millie Jones
had five daughters,
Maggie, Mary, Carrie, Nancy and Iva,
and one son, Wesley.

My sister, Ida Reba Stokes Kelly
wrote the manuscript and I
published the book,
"Keeping Up With the Joneses" in 2000. 

Reba and her husband Alton
lived in the Hosking section
of Charlotte, North Carolina.

Without Reba's collections of facts, stories
and photos about the Jones Sisters
and all their children,
(our cousins that we had by the dozens,
as you will read about them in this book),
there would be no records
of our ancestors
and the humor of the
Jones Girls of Hartville, Hartsville, South Carolina.
