With lots of help from the new familysearch.org and some help from ancestry.com, I have been able to follow Lola through her various name changes. At least I think these records all pertain to the same woman.
Lola was born in Tishomingo County, Mississippi in 1861 and died in Parmer County, Texas in 1952.
In the 1870 census Lola Swinney was living with her mother and 3 siblings. They are living with Mary’s parents in Mississippi and she is listed as 9 years old.
In the 1900 census Lola Poe and her daughter Minnie are living in Bell County, Texas. Lola is listed as sister and living with Amos McDonald. (Amos is actually her half-brother born after Mary remarried.) This census record states that Lola was born in April 1861 in Mississippi. The fact that Lola married a Poe is reinforced in the death certificate of Minnie D Mayfield. Minnie died in 1959 and the certificate available on familysearch.org states that her father was Z.C. Poe and her mother was Lola M Swinney.
On familysearch.org the Texas Marriages, 1837-1973 file lists Mrs. Lola M Poe marrying J.O. Jones on 23 Dec 1900 in Bell County, Texas. No image is available but the film number is 981038. In the 1910 census Lola M Jones and John C Jones are living as husband and wife in Jones County, Texas. The record states that they have been married for 10 years and it is a second marriage for each. She is listed as being 48 and was born in Mississippi.
I was unable to find Lola in the 1920 census. Back to familysearch.org and I put in Lola Mont in the search box. The first listing was a Lola Mont Sanders in Texas Deaths, and parents were M Sweeny and no one was listed as mother. It showed that she died in 1952 in Parmer County, Texas.
If any one has information about Lola or know that I've made some errors, I would definitely appreciate a note. Thank you.
