Give her of the fruit of her hands.
by Lisa Y. Henderson
Lydia, daughter of Theopolis Miller Winslow, was born March 7, 1846, and died Oct. 27, 1913. When she was but a child her mother died and she was raised in a family of Friends, living with them until she was united in marriage to Parker Jones. To them were born four children, George, Mattie, William and Daniel. Three are still living, George, Mattie and Daniel, with several grandchildren and many relatives and friends to mourn their loss. William died when a child. Her husband died twelve years ago. She belonged to the A.M.E. church at Dublin, and while not a constant attendant, she carried within her breast that hidden treasure, that quiet peace, which the world knoweth not of. She was strictly honest and truthful in all her dealings. It was her greatest pleasure to make her home happy. Her children rise up and call her blessed, and her husband did praise her. Give her of the fruit of her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates.

I stumbled on your site yesterday. I can’t thank you enough for all the work you have put into this. I know I’ve only touched the tip of the iceberg here. I’m researching a friend’s tree for her, and she is a descendant of Lydia through her son George. I found your blog yesterday when Googling Lydia’s father name. Then today, I found this entry by searching your site for the word “Parker”, blindly trying to find more on Lydia’s husband’s side. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
My pleasure!
