Todd Anderson sent me the following information about
documents on Ebay. I do not support the sale of family
history documents, but if you are a descendent of
Robert Thomas Jones (d.1912) of Blackstone, Nottoway
Co., VA, you may be interested in the documents:

GROUP OF CDVs, MISCELLANEOUS IMAGES, CALLING CARDS,
ETC - VIRGINIA FAMILY - 1860s-1920s
Lot of CDVs & other images, calling cards, etc.
related to the family of Mrs. Elizabeth Jones
(1847-1926), of Richmond, VA. She was married to R.
Thomas Jones (d. 1912) in 1868. Elizabeth's father was
W.A. Robertson, Sr.; when she died, she was survived
by her brother W.A. Robertson, Jr.; two sons, Robert
E. Jones of Blackstone, VA & W. T. Jones of Texas; and
6 daughters - Mrs. P.H. Butler of Petersburg, Mrs.
J.B. Clampitt of 923 Louisiana St., Richmond (in whose
home Elizabeth died), Mrs. J.F. Jones of Blackstone,
Mrs. W.G. Tucker of Blackstone, Mrs. D.A. Brown of
Washington (DC?), & Mrs. T.M. Rowlett of North
Carolina. The obituaries indicate that Elizabeth was
born and lived all of her life in Nottoway County
where Blackstone is located. Her old home place was a
portion of the territory occupied by the town of
Crewe. She was born June 18, 1847 & married on Feb.
25, 1868 by the late Dr. Theodore Pryor. Elizabeth was
also survived by many grandchildren.
The lot of items includes the following, some of which
carry dates ranging from 1860s to 1920s:

Grandma Jones", ID'd in pencil on reverse as "Mrs.
