Thank you noggin, I have all the same information, but I was looking for her parents. And it does say that she was white, but she was Indian. My mother told me that back then she may have been bought by the Jones family and given her there name, that may be why I cant find her parents. But she is clearly Indian I do have a picture of her and you can see it clearly. But thanks for trying to help.

There is another Ora Jones on the 1880 Census
