Ursula Jones More

Born 22 August 1825 at Walton, Delaware County, New York

Died 22 December 1891 at Walton, Delaware County, New York

Ursula was the daughter of Joshua Jones and Anna Miner Jones. She was raised at Walton where her father, for an unknown number of years, had a cabinet shop on Stockton Avenue. I believe he later took up farming and died sometime before 1850 when his wife appeared, on that year's census, to farm a piece of land adjacent to that of David More, Ursula’s future father-in-law. Ursula married to William Pitt More on 16 March 1854 at Walton. They made their home at Walton where William was the owner and operator of a farm. Ursula and William had no children. She died as a result of grippe, an old term for influenza. Ursula was buried in a More family plot at Walton Cemetery. Her sister, Emily, who married to Elton Romeo Wolcott, was buried the following year on one side of her grave and Ursula’s husband was buried on the other in 1893. Ursula was the wife of my first cousin five times removed.
