Daniel Thomas Jones was born on January 17th, 1882 to Benjamin Jones and Hannah Griffiths in Merthyr Tydful, Wales. For more information about them, please

As a young adult, he and several friends decided to take a trip to Canada. They made it halfway across Canada, and realized they were going to have to turn around then if they wanted to make it home that year. So they decided to flip a coin, to see if they would continue west or head home. Obviously, they continued west. Where he and one of his friends met a pair of sisters and fell in love.
I did not realize two of the friends married sisters...which sister besides Elizabeth ?
