  • Notes 
    • "How did Red Jack feel about being brother to such infamous fellow as Bill and Neese? One or two photographs survive which show the three together, and Red Jack may have considered himself protected by their notoriety. that is, no one would bother him or his family, fearing revenge by Bil or Neese. His family does not seem connected to the events which caused bad publicity for the immediate community. He married Laura Meadows, who may have had a calming influence. Nothing notable happened until after the death of both parents, when a grandson, K. C. Jones, was killed in 1938, followed by hanging of the perpetrator, Pearlie Evans, in 1939. In investigating this Jones family, it seems that some children were born after the husband was gone, with the wife, Lou Jones being listed as a widow. The full story has never been recorded, but it is not factually correct to say the Red Jack's family was not affected by the violent traditions."
