Betty: This is exactly my Jones line, though I have not tried to track it any further back than Pinckney Burr Jones. My line actually runs through his wife, Sarah U. "Sally" Gulley. Would you happen to know what the "U" stands for? I also have Pinckney born in South Carolina, so when did the family move to MS and on to AR? My main line is Mendenhall, Sally's grandparents. They were from NC; when they moved from there, they settled in Conecuh Co, AL for a good while. In fact, all of Thomas Mendenhall's children were buried there. Conecuh is more in the middle of the state. Someone mentioned Limestone County for Wiley J Jones. I could get a map, but was wondering if that county was more northerly. Families tended to travel together, and I know Thomas' last child was born in AL in 1844. They were in AR by the 1850 census. Do you know anything of the Brilliant Powell Jones buried in White Church? I haven't found him as part of Sally's family. Also, very few of Sally's children lived to middle-age. Any ideas there? I see that Pinckney named one of his sons Wiley, also. Was he also Wiley J? You can see I have more questions than answers, but I live in AL where there is relatively NOTHING for research material in AR. I only found this much out during periodic brief one-day trips to AR when I visited my parents in north LA years ago. Earlene Mendenhall Lyle
