So which Nephi Jones are you anyway?

A lot of folks claim they are the first of this or the first of that, so we have to read and do research of our own. However, this Nephi Jones boy believes we are the first Jones family clan that entered the Juab Valley in the 1850's. As of today, there are at least four separate herds of Nephi Jones families, but in truth we may all be related if an Eve and Adam had anything to say about it! Today we focus on who "Marie and Teddy" Valentines card we just discovered. We believe they were two of the three kids of Bert Jones of Nephi, Utah and will give a little background on who is whom. We believe Marie signed the card and presented it to her grandparents-Wm & Lizzie Jones in the latter 1930's, as the card was found with other Bert Jones documents. Although most would know him only by "Ted" who worked at Pexton's, then had his own drive inn called "TJ's", as a kid he was known as "Teddy". Ted was the son of Bert, who was the son of Wm who was the son of Edward, who was the son of another Edward and even more confusing there are a bunch of our family named Justin; Gary; Ed's; Eddie and Trevor, all of which are the same Jones surname and family!
