There is a married in 1872 between Susanna Yarbrough and David Crain in Lee County, AL. Susan is still a Jones in 1880, listed as widow. So I do not believe they are the same.

Married 1) Andrew J. Crane about 1868 in Taylor County, Georgia and 2) Henry Frank Davis in 1881 in Taylor County, Georgia
