Friday Funny: Having Fun In Las Vegas

Image
This has been one crazy busy traveling Summer! I am not complaining. I am extremely thankful for these special times that I've had with my family. We returned from Las Vegas on Sunday and we had a blast. This particular picture looked appropriate for a Friday Funny post. We were walking through the New York-New York Hotel & Casino and stopped in front of a restaurant called Gonzalez Y Gonzalez to get this shot. My Silly Family :)

If you are not familiar with the project please click on the following link:    Announcing 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks: 2015 Edition. For this week's post, I decided to continue on with the Devaughns who are linked to my Jones family line. I began with Violet Ann Jones Devaughn  and her husband Warren Devaughn . Violet was my 2nd great grandfather Alexander Hamilton Jones's sister. My last 52 Ancestors post, I wrote about Violet and Warren's daughter Mary Jane Devaughn Fenderson  who was born in Morehead City, NC but later settled in Philadephia, PA. Well, she wasn't the only Devaughn to do that. Mary's brother,William Henry Devaughn made his home in the city of brotherly love as well. William Henry Devaughn was born around 1869 in Morehead City, NC to Warren Devaughn and Violet Ann Jones Devaughn.

If you are not familiar with the project please click on the following link:    Announcing 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks: 2015 Edition. I am taking a break on working on Mary Jane's father, Warren Devaughn, and have decided to highlight Mary's life for this week's post. If you missed my post about Warren, here's the link:   I May Have Caught A Glimpse Of Warren Devaughn . My connection to Mary Jane Devaughn Fenderson is through my Jones family line which is on my mother's branch of my family tree. Specifically, my relationship to her is that she's my 1st cousin 3x removed.  Mary Jane Devaughn was born most likely sometime around October 1867.  I believe her birth month was October based on information found on the 1900 Federal Census. The year is based on her age listed on her marriage record to her husband Nathaniel E Fenderson.
