Yet the Bible suggests she married a Lowe. They are said to have lived in St. Louis. - a son's name is given as Robert Henry Lowe in the Robert Jones Bible, b. 15 Aug 1885 - he died 6 Jan 1956 in Los Angeles, and was buried Salt Lake City.

The FindAGrave page for Henry Lowe, buried Hollywood Cemetery, Houston, Harris Co, TX says there is also a Mattie E. Morrowood Lowe buried here - born 26 Nov 1860, died 16 Nov 1944. Henry may have been married twice and the two wives confablulated. The census records indicate the correct ages for Martha JONES and the marriage record of son Robert Henry Jones, in Utah (his second marriage), specifically states his mother was Martha JONES.

The cemetery records above were wrong. Mattie married 2nd to Rev. William MORWOOD, as his second wife. Said to have died, Los Angeles, CA, but buried Hollywood Cemetery, Houston, with Henry Lowe.
