On 22 December, 1880, Pernina married James Henry "Jim" Jones in Hamilton County.  Their son, William Charles was born 28 September, 1881.  One evening while Pernina sat on their front porch  bouncing her  8-month-old infant and churning, she  heard the shot which killed her husband.  James Henry "Jim" Jones had been murdered on May 30, 1882,  by members of the Langford mob, one of the mobs  which controlled Hamilton County.
