"The Jones farm was south of Browntown near the Pecatonica River and consisted of virtually all timber, which lead the family to move several years after her (Frances) birth (1856) to Trempeleau County, WI, where a cousin had said there was less forest to clear for farmland. Several years later Joseph realized his mistake and returned to Green County. (Mary Jones Morton's obituary says she was born in Trempeleau County August 2, 1862 and that they returned to Green County shortly after her birth.) On route to 
Trempeleau, Fannie remembers traveling by wagon to the Mississippi River and by boat to the north. Returning to Green County, one of the horses died and the family remained several weeks with farmers while Mr Jones walked to Monroe for another horse. Jeff Drake, an early Monroe resident returned with Joseph to assist in bringing his family back to Monroe."
They lived on farms in the Monroe area. On the Cornelius place, just west of Monroe on the old Smock farm, where Frances was married to Aaron Lizar in 1872. (North Cornelius on section 34, Monroe Twnsp. Northwest corner of section 34, 80 acres or section 28 north Cornelius, 70 acres southeast corner.) School number 10 near by.
