Note

From Phyllis Horsman, 1032 River Hills Circle, Chattanooga, TN 37415 9/5/96.

Liddey lived with her parents until she married Steven Jones, by J. H. Bradfield in the Gold Point area. She was known by her family as being not very tall, and a good, sweet little lady. By 1870, however, Lydia was at home with her widowed mother. Steven had abandoned her by October, 1866, to parts unknown. On 15 June 1874, Lydia filed a lawsuit in Hamilton Co, TN Chancery Court (#1313, Book 5, Page 365) to be released from that marriage. She lived with her widowed mother a few years and then remarried.

Lydia assisted Jake at the Clift Mill on Clift Mill Road. She was a skilled seamstress, making dresses and suits by hand. At Jake's death, Lydia lived next to her daughter and son-in-law Sarah and John W. Hughes on Washington Road near Igou Road. She owned a house free of mortgage, and three of her five children were living in 1910.
