Griffiths, Mary Ann - Biography
The Griffiths of Beaver County

Mary Ann Griffiths, her sister Catherine Hannah Griffiths, and their brother James Lloyd Griffiths all married into the John J. Jones family.

Thus three siblings married three siblings:

Griffiths, John Jenkin and Eleanor Lloyd (Parents)
Griffiths, Mary Ann (1860) ? Jones, John G. (1856)
Griffiths, James Lloyd (1863) ? Jones, Sarah Ellen (1867)
Griffiths, Catherine Hannah (1873) ? Jones, Evan D. (1860)

Jones, John J. and Sarah Griffiths (Parents)
Jones, John G. (1856) ? Griffiths, Mary Ann (1860)
Jones, Sarah Ellen (1867) ? Griffiths, James Lloyd (1863)
Jones, Evan D. (1860) ? Griffiths, Catherine Hannah (1873)

The Jones children were simply following their parents' example. Yes, that's right - John J. Jones and Sarah Griffiths had married siblings as well!

Griffiths, Evan and Eleanor Jones (Parents)
Griffiths, John Evan (1833) ? Jones, Margaret (1834)
Griffiths, Sarah (1835) ? Jones, John J. (1836)

Jones, John and Margaret Thomas (Parents)
Jones, Margaret (1834) ? Griffiths, John Evan (1833)
Jones, John J. (1836) ? Griffiths, Sarah (1835)

Getting all this straight would be a wonderful activity at the next Griffiths-Jones family reunion, but then there wouldn't be any time left for volleyball!
