Respecting a man who didn't judge a book by it's cover and actually had 10 kids and Ron's Grandfather was one of the 10. Thanks for joining on a trip out in Western Oklahoma remembering a man who missed the tall trees of Missouri. Thanks for being John Henry Jones!
Watch to end for special clip here at the Ozark Hippie Camp stuidios
1850 to 1915. We got Ron Berry here. Can you elaborate on John Jones a little bit, Ron?
John Jones was my great-grandfather. He was born in 1850, correct? Yes, and died in 1915. He
was raised in Botetourt County, Virginia, and originally the family name was Johns,
and they changed it to Jones. They originally were from Wales, and evidently they were very
aristocratic, the family, and so when John came here to Missouri, he married a schoolteacher,
and the family disowned him because he married beneath himself, so that was kind of a sad thing.
The couple had, I think it was 10 children, and then she died. He married a dollman, and
she died, and he wasn't able to take care of all the kids, so he ended up having to parcel them out
to different families, and I know my grandfather was parceled out to a particular family. Anyway,
John Jones went on to go out to the Oklahoma Territory, and he married another lady out there
called Lucy Acton, and she's actually kin to Babe Ruth. That's kind of an interesting tidbit,
but he lived out there several years, and then died and was buried in a cemetery called
the Ray Cemetery out in western Oklahoma. At Ray, Oklahoma. At Ray, Oklahoma. Here we are, guys.
Truly, the Ray Cemetery here. Mr. Romberry, and one family member that come out this way
from the Missouri area. Yeah, it's kind of interesting. That's awesome. So, he married,
they thought he married below. Yeah, they were very aristocratic, and they thought
he married beneath himself. Now, he had a brother that came and visited him, his name was Bob Jones,
and, but why his family was that way, I guess, I guess. So, he kind of, he died out there with,
just by himself out there, right? By himself. He really wasn't even
buried with his other wife out there. I guess, maybe they got, I don't know if they got a
divorce, separated, whatever. I don't know, but he is buried by himself. It's kind of a sad thing.
I know my aunt had a pole that he sent from Oklahoma, and in it, he was very homesick,
because out there in that part of Oklahoma, there aren't very many trees, and he was so homesick to
see the trees of Missouri, and. Yeah, there was no trees out there, guys. Yeah, I was doing some
research. Some of the family members were kind of interested in him, so I took on the project of
trying to find out where he was buried, and so I contacted all the county clerks
out in that part of western Oklahoma, because I knew he had settled out there in western Oklahoma,
and finally, one of them wrote me back and said, well, yeah, we got a record of a John Jones,
and, but they didn't know where he was buried or anything, so Teresa and I were on a trip to Texas,
and we came back up to that part of Oklahoma, and I was parked at a crossroads, and I didn't know
what I was looking for, and this local came up, and I asked if he knew any cemeteries,
and he said, oh, yeah, there's one down that way and one down this way, and I asked if he knew
John Jones, and he didn't, but he said, go check them out, and so we drove up to the one to the
west, and we got out and went through the gate, and the first tombstone we saw was John Jones,
and I guess we were supposed to find him, and we took, we took pictures of him, and I told it to
the family where he ended up being buried, yeah, yeah, yeah, 1850, well, we got his picture over
here today, guys. It's amazing to hear the story, the full story, and find the lost relative,
basically. My grandfather was never bitter about being parceled out to a family. He understood
that his dad just actually, his dad worked, worked at a job that was away from the family at times,
and so they left the older ones to take care of the younger ones, and they didn't do a very good
job. So, actually, my grandfather was not the least bit bitter about being parceled out to
a family, and he never had anything negative to say about his dad.
So, you know, it was just, back at that time, things were a little difficult, and
but my grandfather never had anything negative to say about him. He always,
and that was your grandfather's dad, then, John Jones. Yeah, my grandfather's dad,
been my great-grandfather. Yeah, that's beautiful, but he was, originally, the family was Welsh,
and their name was Johns instead of Jones, and they changed it when they got over here in America,
just to fit in the Joneses. That's an American name, isn't it?
Somewhat. Yeah, they settled in Boulder Torch County, and the county seat's name is Fincastle,
and it's right close to the Blue Ridge Parkway, real close to it. Blue Ridge Parkway, that's
amazing. You better know it. All right, guys, we had a special visitor here. We're
doing interviews today. We just had a great interview with Mr. Ron Berry, but we got the
legend, Keith Haines. Keith Haines is always relaxed when he comes over here.
Julie, you saw Keith, and he just about passed out, didn't he? Yeah. He just wants to sleep.
What a classic moment. Thanks for joining us, guys, and we're gonna get back to some interviews.
Two things I'd really like people to pay some attention to, and I'm not sure how much of it,
there's certain different stories out there concerning Blind Frog Ranch.
Now, I wouldn't say that everything you're going to see on YouTube is true,
but I think there is some truth in probably all of it, and I think some of it may be 100%
true, but some of the stories may be just a little bit exaggerated or maybe more exaggeration
than truth, but they're worth watching, and there is a connection between Blind Frog Ranch and
Skinwalker Ranch, and that whole northern part of Utah, the Puenta Mountains, is a very important
area. In fact, there's a fellow by the name of James Keenan who has done a lot of research
archaeological research, geologic research, that sort of thing,
and he believes that that was one of the safe havens back when the Great Deluge,
the Noah's Flood, which many people think occurred around 10,900 BC that called the
Younger Dryas event, but it was a great flood that enveloped a large part of the earth at that time,
but there were a few areas all across the earth that were safe havens, and one of the safe havens
they believed was in northern Utah, and that's where they believed is actual is a place where
so many of the native tribes got their start, and of course the Aztecs was one of the tribes,
but there were many other tribes besides the Aztecs, and today they made some discoveries there,
and it appears there's some huge underground caverns there that are burial sites for some of
the, you might say, more of the high-ups or the chiefs, chieftains of maybe the Aztecs and some
of the other Native American tribes, but it goes way back literally hundreds if not thousands of
years, and there may also be a connection to the giants who inhabited a large part of North America.
In the book of the Revelation of the Mediterranean, they're referred to as the Amen.
The Amen and the giants, I think, are one and the same, and so there's a lot of research being done
today. I would recommend anyone who's interested in anything like that spend a lot of time looking
through the material of Blandfrog Ranch and Skinwalker Ranch, and especially pay attention
to Dwayne Olinger. A lot of people would say he's just an old country bumpkin, but I think he's very
intelligent, and I think he's really on to something, and that's about it. Yeah, they're
going to discover something amazing on that piece of property, I believe. Ron's property right next
door to us, guys. It's a special place and some good energy. Yes, it's got some hot and cold spots, for sure.
You might have heard of the Mount Shasta area. I've always called our property Mini Shasta.
It's got caves, it's got anomalies that happen at the top of the mountain over on us.
I won't go into the details of what happened, but some very unusual strange events
happened on top of the mountain, and I think there's a lot of electromagnetic anomalies
connected there. I'll tell you one thing that happened one day. My friend and I were sitting
next to what we call the whirlpool. It's where water turns counterclockwise, and all of a sudden
the temperature dropped about, I'd say 10 to 15 degrees instantly. There was no wind
or anything like that, and it stayed cold for about 15 to 20 seconds, and then the temperature just came
back up to normal. Well, we waited about another 15 minutes, and it happened again, and so I asked my
friend who was sitting right next to me if she felt it, and she said yes, I definitely felt it.
At the same time, or right before that, her husband was swimming in the whirlpool, and the
water was really super cold, but from the knees on down, he said the water was warm, and so his two
children came in with him, and they said the same thing. So there were three witnesses to the fact
that there was water from the knees on down. It was warm. If you watch some of the information
at Blind Frog Ranch, you'll find out that they speak about the cold and the hot,
and so I'm kind of wondering if there's a connection there. I come see Ron sometimes,
and we just have some campfire stories. Let's see if we can like keep that right quick.
Keith! Keith! Keith! He's dead. Check to see if he's got a pulse.
Oh, he's moving. All right, Keith. We love you, dog. You ready to eat, boy? Get you another nap.
