Talk:Alex Jones
Genealogy
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

Paternal Grandparents
Jerry Jones
Paternal Grandfather
2009 06 03
01:32:40 --> 01:32:47 He had been in World War II in some of the same squadrons with my grandfather, Jerry Jones.
2014 01 06
01:53:39 --> 01:53:41 Great guy out in East Texas. I was thinking about my grandfather, Jerry Jones ...
2017 09 26
01:58:03 --> 01:58:08 That was my grandfather's name, Jerry Jones ...
Patty Johnson
Paternal Grandmother
2009 10 21
21:22 --> 21:30 And I remember my father's mother, my grandmother, Patty Jones.
2014 03 17
34:36 --> 34:43 My grandfather while he died a lung cancer in just a few months. Jerry Jones wasn't as tough as Patty Jones.
August 15 2023 1:53:52.440 --> 1:53:56.520 school administrator and my grandmother really into education
1:54:00.040 --> 1:54:09.320 Patty Jones and she and put him in all these science fairs and contests and kept winning them and at 14 Union Carbide says out of Houston ...
March 10 2024
1:38:45.000 --> 1:39:05.000 I just realized that youth is wasted on the youth because I would love to know Patty Jones today. She died 19 years ago and my other grandmother was just as amazing but it would take all the time to talk about Benny Grace Hammond.
1:39:05.000 --> 1:39:17.000 But that's what I grew up seeing in women and then they were super charged they came in the room you felt their presence they were alive.
Maternal Grandparents
Clyde William Hammond Jr
Maternal Grandfather
2014 01 22
57:23 --> 57:35 By the way my grandfather William Hammond was an inventor.
57:35 --> 57:51 From the time he was a teenager because he lives next door to a German American who was a famous holder of patents on refrigeration and air conditioning so that's how he got the bug to build.
2013 07 31
01:39:38 --> 01:39:42 So I know Hitler was bad because I was told about it by my grandfather, okay?
01:39:42 --> 01:39:44 William Hammond.
2008 09 03
11:04 --> 11:11 And so my grandfather was in this community being German, William Hammond.
The following attests to the William Gresham (Find a grave), Clyde's grandfather
2017 05 21
14:42 --> 14:47 While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.
2016 04 05
30:09 --> 30:15 you had your bets. And then on the interesting story on the Gresham side of my mom's family ...
2015 04 26
01:03:46 --> 01:03:51 almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper
01:03:51 --> 01:04:02 and a couple others and William Gresham. He would go into the drugstore and they had
01:04:02 --> 01:04:06 serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.
2019 09 05
02:03:27 --> 02:03:29 He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas
02:03:30 --> 02:03:34 Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy
02:03:35 --> 02:03:41 But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...
2019 09 05
02:03:20 --> 02:03:26 But my great great great grandfather was one of the first cocaine dealers in the United States
02:03:27 --> 02:03:29 He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas
02:03:30 --> 02:03:34 Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy
Bennie Grayce Pope
Maternal Grandmother
2017 02 13
02:35:10 --> 02:35:11 You know what? I'm going to check that and make sure that Benny Grace Hammond does not vote Democrat.
2018 01 11
02:17:37 --> 02:17:40 Just died last year. Benny Grace Hammond.
02:17:42 --> 02:17:47 She, during the whole polio outbreak, went and got her first polio shot
2018 12 13
14:07 --> 14:16
told her, oh, she was there in the hospital room with the iron lung, told her, yes,
14:16 --> 14:20 Benny Grace Hammond, you got it for you. You have the strain from the vaccine.
2015 05 08 01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:10.360 My grandmother had had one vaccine for the polio.
01:07:10.360 --> 01:07:15.720 Then they said, Benny, this is in 1951, my mother was five years old, four years old,
01:07:15.720 --> 01:07:18.600 my uncle was 10.
2017 09 19
01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:38.000 I don't believe in big pharma caught doing medical experiments caught doing sterile into the vaccines you name it cancer viruses. Look it up.
01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:51.000 SV 40 and more. My grandmother was told she got polio. The second shot she got for a new strain live polio. They said Ms. Hammond. You got polio. She just died this year.
01:02:51.000 --> 01:03:06.000 She couldn't walk. She was in a wheelchair. Rest of her life. This is my mom was five years old. They told her Ms. Hammond. You got polio from the vaccine. Her doctor told her back in the 1950s. So here is Carol J. Baker. Then we're going to our guest.
Other Relatives
William Hammond
Maternal uncle, father of Buckley Hamman
2013 12 23
01:59:18 --> 01:59:28 His name is William Forest Hammond, not the William Hammond. It was a fake pilot or something. I was googling that the other night and saw some other William Hammond.
01:59:28 --> 01:59:34 So it's not that William Hammond. But certainly pray, pray for him.
01:59:34 --> 01:59:42 All that comes up from uncles and LSU was at football player and track team. And that is the right William Hammond back.
I think in 1964 where he went to Vietnam. But I'm going to go see him. And I meant to call my dad during that break.
2013 12 18
02:22:50 --> 02:22:53 and because I really love my uncle you know he's one of the people that helped wake me up with
02:22:53 --> 02:23:00 the new world order he's actually called in on the show up of the years William Hammond and just
02:23:00 --> 02:23:07 pray for him out in East Texas he's in a good hospital in Tyler
2013 12 18
02:17:29.840 --> 02:17:34 spelled all over it when it's a triple threat I've had family that's died people that are almost
02:17:34 --> 02:17:40 died sicknesses police pray for my uncle William Hammond folks because he's as strong as a horse
02:17:40 --> 02:17:46 and he wasn't at a whole nine yards but it killed his son a few weeks ago went to his funeral
2014 01 03
02:35 --> 02:40 My uncle did pass today at about 3 30 a.m. and the reason I mentioned it is a lot of you prayed for him and I appreciate he was a great guy.
02:42 --> 02:46 One of the people that was instrumental in helping wake me up to how the world really worked.
02:47 --> 02:54 68 years old, a Vietnam helicopter pilot veteran, just a great patriot and one of the best men I've ever known, you say he's a good guy, he's a sweet person, he's a smart person.
03:01 --> 03:05 You literally, that's the only thing that comes to mind when you talk about my uncle,
03:05 --> 03:07 William Forest, Hammond.
2014 01 17
01:28:03 --> 01:28:10 it was my uncle, William Farris Hammond, who recommended that song about 10 years ago for the show,
01:28:10 --> 01:28:17 sundown on the union. And of course, he died a few weeks ago. I just always remember him.

Colonel Travis
Alex has made claims Col Travis was part of his family.
February 26 2024 3:08:43.000 --> 3:09:10 My family did raise Colonel Travis's son. His last letter is to my family in Gonzales, Texas. We did raising my direct ancestors on my paternal side. Maternal side. And so I am not just with that. I'm going to bring up Texas lore. But if I sort of getting a Texas lore. It's ridiculous. I'm related to the leaders of the Texas revolution.
2024 11 14 2:07:06.640 --> 2:07:11.320 My mother's side founded Texas, Washington, the Brasus, wrote it all, launched it with Colonel Travis, raised Colonel Travis's son.
2024 08 16 2:42:37.320 --> 2:42:51.320 The Brasos in East Texas, raised colonel Travis's son, funded the troops ran it by mother's family. Literally was the detonator for the text revolution hard core Protestants. I mean, I come from Protestants folks as hard core as you can get going back 400 years.
2025 03 12
27:11.000 --> 27:19.000 Quite interesting to say the least a little size of family, but my family were the adopters of Colonel Travis's son on record and raised him.
Dr. Pepper
Alex has made claims an ancestor was associated with creating Dr. Pepper 20250316_Sun_Alex-Hr2 42:58.280 --> 43:16.920 My great, great grandfather on my mom's side, Gresham was his that name, he owned the
43:16.920 --> 43:25.080 temple newspaper, Macden temples, one of the biggest cities in Texas and he had a big
43:25.080 --> 43:27.800 advertising that was the big drug store.
43:27.800 --> 43:31.840 I grab a lot of told us he would have had copies of it, my mom couldn't find it when they died.
43:32.840 --> 43:35.920 I remember the following, it was a whole house full of clippings and stuff, but I remember
43:35.920 --> 43:40.960 him showing me because he owned the newspaper but he advertised, he invented the name Dr.
43:40.960 --> 43:41.960 Pepper.
43:41.960 --> 43:46.440 He did own Dr. Pepper was his big sponsor but he got so big that's how they built the
43:46.440 --> 43:53.240 coca the, I've ever planned in temple, the original one and he created the name of Dr.
43:53.240 --> 43:55.680 Pepper and it had cocaine too.
20190905_Thu_Alex 02:03:20.920 --> 02:03:26.600 But my great great great grandfather was one of the first cocaine dealers in the United States
02:03:27.240 --> 02:03:29.720 He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas
02:03:30.560 --> 02:03:34.960 Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy
02:03:35.160 --> 02:03:41.440 But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name it was the
02:03:41.440 --> 02:03:46.340 Drug store apothecary that actually developed it was his favorite and they said well
02:03:46.340 --> 02:03:52.080 What do you name it Dr. Pepper and then he ran the first ads then they you know had had the big bottling thing up in temple a little bit of lore
