Greetings Yell County! Thank you, to all the people who have responded to my recent postings on the GenConnect board concerning the Westmoreland and Tucker families. I thought I had already subscribed to the Yell Co. list and didn't realise I hadn't until I got Faye Sandy's message. That minor error has been corrected as you can see by this post. With the indulgence of the list, I'd like to clarify the situation concerning Alberty Westmoreland. First, I am not (at least not to me knowledge) a descendant of the Tucker family. My connection comes through the Westmorelands. The Alberty Westmoreland, b. 1808 SC, on the 1860 and 1870 Yell Co., AR census was a brother to my ggg-grandmother, Catherine Westmoreland Harris Walker Gallion (1804-ca. 1881). I've been trying to locate descendants of Uncle Alberty. Here's a brief outline of what I know (or surmise) based on census records (Thanks Mary Leek and Faye Sandy for the additional census readings). Alberty Westmoreland was born in Spartanburg Dist. SC about 1808, the son? of William and Sary Alberty Westmoreland. He moved with father and family to Catawba Co., AL in the summer of 1822 and then to Lauderdale Co., AL in the fall of 1822. I've not been able to find a marriage record for him, but from the estate settlement of the Michael Wilson (d. 1836) estate Wayne Co., TN, I know that Alberty had married to Mary Wilson, dau. of Michael, about 1830. (still haven't determined if Alberty and Mary are the Moses A. Westmoreland listed on the 1830 Wayne Co., TN census or if Moses was Alberty's brother). In 1840 I believe Alberty and family were living in Fayette Co., TN. By 1844 they were in Independence Co., AR (per a deed where Alberty and Mary sold their interest in the Michael Wilson estate). Sometime between 1844 and 1849, Mary Wilson Westmoreland died, probably in Ruddell Twp., Independence Co., AR. I searched for a tombstone some 25 years ago, but never found her burial place. On 11 July 1849, Alberty Westmoreland (age 42) married Martha Turrell (age 23), in Independence Co., AR. In the 1850 Independence Co., AR census, Alberty is listed in Ruddell Twp, household #1038, with 6 children but no wife. From information that Faye Sandy sent, it would appear that Martha Turrell Westmoreland was living with her parents? Oren and Nancy Terrell in 1850. This might indicate that Alberty and Martha had separated, and that may well be true. But in January 1853, Alberty and Martha, his wife, sold 160 acres of land in Independence Co., AR (SE qtr, sec. 23, T 11 N, R 4 W) to Jacob H. Coffman for $250.00. Both Martha and Alberty signed the deed (Martha with a "X". which was witnessed). Alberty appears on the 1860 Yell Co., AR census living in Chickalah Twp with wife Sarah, age 35, b. MS and a house full of children. In 1870 Yell Co., Chickalah Twp, Alberty is still listed with wife Sarah. Don't know if Sarah is Martha or if Sarah was Uncle Alberty's third wife. Have not found, so far, any additional marriages for him. But the arrangement of the children on the census records would indicate that there were THREE wives, Sarah being the third. Alberty Westmoreland appears to have had 15 or more children. Here's how I have them enumerated: 1. Amanda E. Westmoreland, b. ca. 1834, Wayne Co. TN, m. Isaac Robinson 8 July 1852, Independence Co., AR, d. bef. 1853. 2. Levi L. Westmoreland, b. 1836, TN 3. Lidda Margaret Westmoreland, b. 1838 TN, m. 6 Feb 1868 Yell Co., AR to James TOWNSEL. 4. Nancy J. Westmoreland, b. 1840 5. Lincy Catherine Westmoreland, b. 1842 AR 6. Moses B. Westmoreland, b. 1845, AR, m. 1 Nov 1866 Yell Co., AR to Julia C. HARKEY. Living in Johnson Co., AR in 1870 and in Logan Co., AR in 1900. 7. Samuel D. Westmoreland, b. 1847 AR (not listed on 1850 census) 8. Elizabeth Ann Westmoreland, b. Dec. 1849/Jan 1850 (11 in 1860)(listed with mother Martha Terrell/Turrell Westmoreland in the Terrell Household in 1850, age 6/12). 9. Matilda Westmoreland, b. 1851 10. William Westmoreland, b. 1854 11. Martha Westmorealnd, b. 1857 12. Susan Angeline Westmoreland, b. Dec? 1859 13. Lucinda Westmoreland, b. 1862 14. Mary Westmoreland, b. 1864/5 15. Ellen Westmoreland, b. 1868/9. There could be another daughter, Sarah, b. 1832, which would fit with the 1840 census, although cannot be certain of that. A Sarah Westmoreland, age 18 was living in the household of Minerva Tucker, age 31, b. TN, in Jackson Co., Ar in 1850 (Thanks Faye for that information). It is possible that Sarah was the eldest daughter and was named for her grandmother, Sarah (Sary) Alberty Westmoreland, who died about 1831/2, Lauderdale Co. AL. It was the Sarah Westmoreland, b. 1832 we think married Paul Tucker about 1854/5 somewhere in Arkansas. Could they have married in Jackson Co., AR????? I'm sorry this message is so long, but this was a BIG family. Ya'll have been a great help on this family. If anyone is interested in the ancestors of Alberty Westmoreland and his first wife, Mary Wilson, I do have some of that information. And I'm still digging for information on Alberty's descendants.

Posted on: Yell Co. Ar Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Yell?read=252 Surname: Webb, Croft, Colwell, Clark, Brunson, Biggs, Walker, Crow ------------------------- John B. Webb came to Yell County by the 1870 census. His daughters married Biggs, Brunson, and Walkers around Centerville. Son James Warren Webb moved to Polk County in the 1890's. Son Charlie may have moved to near Cooper, Tx. Son John Pinckney Webb married Ida Alice Anderson of Centerville in 1901. His daughter, Viola (1905-1975) was my mother. John B. Webb married Sarah F. Croft in 1853 in Attala County Mississippi. She is buried at Pettillo Hill at Centerville. J.B. Webb's parents were Micajah and Harriet Benson Webb. The Charles Webb in the following sketch was J.B. Webb's grandfather at Anderson, S.C. The roots of Charles Webb (about 1767-1831) of Anderson, S.C., have been a mystery for over a hundred and fifty years -- until now! The late Miss Elizabeth Webb of Williamston, S.C., was a descendant of Charles Webb through his son William (about 1789-1852). In the 1930s and 1940s she made it a quest to find those roots. Many Webb families were contacted and correspondence exchanged. She gathered valuable information about the second, third, and fourth generations of Webbs who descended from Charles. At one point, she and others were overjoyed when they thought they had found Charles Webbs roots. They discovered that Captain Isaac Webb and Lt. Charles Webb had marched into Mecklenburg County, Va.., with a band of men during the American Revolution. They believed that Charles Webb of Anderson was of this family. This would qualify them to join the D.A.R. They were subsequently disappointed. Miss Webb died without solving the puzzle. Her collection of unorganized notes on bits and scraps of paper and her notebook were never published. They were placed on file in the genealogy department at the Greenville, S.C., library. I searched through her work . I was happy to find my own great-grandfather, John B. Webb (about 1831-1896?), born to Charles son Micajah and Harriet Benson at Anderson before they moved westward in the early 1830s. Micajah was born Feb. 4, 1797, and died of pneumonia on February 5, 1850, at the home of his sister, Frances Webb Clark, near Kosciusko, Mississippi, He had married Harriet Benson, daughter of Major Thomas Benson, on Feb. 1, 1820. In Elizabeth Webbs files there was an old newspaper clipping of Micajah Webb being the first postmaster at Anderson, S.C. There was one about the different generations of Webbs who had honorably served in several wars. There was one about the First Baptist Church of Anderson being built on the lot in Anderson donated by Micajah Webb. It was clear that the Webbs of Anderson had a lot of family pride. I double checked all of Elizabeth Webbs leads and concluded that they were dead ends. Presuming that the names of the children of Charles Webb were clues to the past, I searched the Virginia records for unique names like Micajah, Warren Robinson, and Edmond. Immediately, my attention was focused on a group of Webbs that lived in Brunswick and later in Greensville County. There was a Micajah (1741-1815) and a Warren (1785-1836). There was a connection with the Robinson family. (Capt. John Robinson (DAR 1750-1856) had taken Polly Webb to be his second wife in 1800. Braxton Robinson was married to Frances Walton and was brother-in-law to Warren Webb.) There was a Charles there too! Who was he? How old was he? What was his connection to the others? Was he the Charles Webb of Anderson, South Carolina? Several years passed. I could only speculate. In 1987 I discovered a descendant of the Warren Webb (1785-1836) of Greensville. We exchanged lettters. I learned about Warren and his brothers and sisters. Charles was not one of them. Charles was not the son of Micajah Webb as I had speculated. My correspondent said that Micajah had brothers named John and Charles. Perhaps Charles Webb of Anderson was the brother of Micajah. That sounded plausible. The parents of Micajah Webb of Brunswick/Greensville were Charles and Elizabeth Barker of Southampton County. The will of Micajahs father was dated February 21, 1758 and recorded on April 13.. It mentioned three sons; Charles, John and Micajah. Son Charles was to inherit the plantation (where Racoon Creek met the Nottoway River). Micajah Webb moved to Brunswick County in the 1760s. By 1769, he had purchased land on Fountain Creek near the Meherrin River. In the 1774 will of Elizabeth, sons Micah and John were mentioned, but not Charles????. My first thought was that Micajahs brother Charles was the Charles Webb of Anderson. Then I realized that if Micajahs father died in 1758, there was no way Charles Webb of Anderson, born about 1767, could be his son. Perhaps the Charles Webb of Anderson was the son of one of Micajahs brothers. Charles Henry Webb (1808-1879), second son of Warren, and grandson of Micajah , had visited Webbs at Pendleton, S.C., during the 1830s before moving westward to Alabama and then to near Jefferson in East Texas. The connection with those Webbs was not known, but there was a notation in their family history book from the Pendleton Messenger that Charles Webb had died at his home on Deep Creek , Nov. 11, 1831 -- about 64 years of age -- a Baptist. They believed there was a connection. Thirteen more years passed. Recently, I went back to the notes of Elizabeth Webb. What were the clues? She noted of Dr. Edmond Webb of Anderson that he was born in 1787 in Virginia near the Meherrin River at Dinwiddie Court House. His brother William was also born in Virginia about 1789. Searching for records of Dinwiddie was a dead end. They were burned during the American Revolution. Dinwiddie did not fit in with my theory that Charles was related to the Webb family in Greensville. It was too far away. Then came a great enlightenment. I could see the river on the map near Dinwiddie. Edmond Webb was born near that river -- but the river near Dinwiddie was the Nottoway!! The Meherrin River was farther south and flowed across the eastern border of Brunswick into Greensville. Thats where John, Micajah, and Charles Webb lived on the south side of the river on Fountain Creek. They were the only Webbs there!! I knew then that the key to connecting Charles Webb of Anderson to these Webbs was to also place William Ezell there. At some point in 1785 or 1786, when Charles Webb of Anderson reached marrying age, he had to come in contact with Delilah Ezell, daughter of William Ezell (1749--1832). According to family records in Union, S.C., William was forced to migrate during the American Revolution when his home was burned by British troops. Charles Webb first appears in the 1800 census of the Union District of South Carolina. William Ezell is also there. By this time, though, Charles is married to his second wife, Catherine Stribling, daughter of Thomas and Nancy (Kinchloe) Stribling. If the first son of Charles and Catherine Webb was Thomas S. Webb (11-07-1793 -- 11-28-1851), then the death of Delilah Ezell and remarriage of Charles took place in the early 1790s. By the 1810 census, Charles Webb was married to his third wife, Mary Ann Baldwin, daughter of Thomas Baldwin and widow of Rev. Henry Terry, Sr. They had one son, Charles Baldwin Webb (1810 - 1847). She also had young children. Catherine was mother of Thomas S. (1793-1851), who migrated to Giles County, Tennesse, with some of the Ezells before 1810 and became sheriff ; Micajah (1797-1850); Frances Webb (5-04-1800 -- 9-22-1878), who married Major James Green Clark and moved to Attala County, Miss.; Warren Robinson (1802-1856), the bachelor merchant at Charleston; Clayton (1804-?), who crossed the line into Hartwell, Ga., and became a state Supreme Court judge; Nancy (?), who married Henry Terry, Jr.; Elijah (1806-1873), who was clerk of the court at Anderson for 40 years; and Elisha (1806-?), content to be a farmer. Catherine died when her twins, Elijah and Elisha, were infants. Charles Baldwin Webb, the son with third wife, Mary Ann Baldwin, was born August 10, 1810. Tragically, he died on November 24, 1847, at the age of thirty-six. In the space of just a few years so many of the sons had died too young -- Charles Baldwin, Micajah, William, Warren Robinson, and Thomas. The Pendleton Messenger indicated that Charles Webb died at his home on Deep Creek in November of 1831, but he had prepared his will in 1828. The Webb plantation of 640 acres was four miles west of Anderson Court house near Portman Shoals on the Seneca River. The paper said he was about 64 years of age. He was a Baptist. (The strong Baptist tradition was shared with the Ezell family. Williams brother, Balaam Ezell, is well-documented in the records as being a primitive Baptist preacher. The obituary of Robert Berry Webb (1822-1900) in Kosciusko, Miss., refers to his father Micajah Webb as a minister of the Missionary Baptist Church.) William Ezell (1749-1832) died a very prosperous man and was buried on his plantation in Union District, S.C. He may have had as many 17 children by three of his four wives. Miriam Ezell Long of the Union District was his last child. Descendants of Miriam in the Union District provided a lot of information about the Ezell roots in a county history. Just before coming to the Union District, William Ezell was in the Fayette District of Richmond County in North Carolina. I found a land transaction document that connected a William Ezell in North Carolina with a John Webb and Virginia. I believed that if William Ezell was a neighbor to a John Webb at some point, then John Webb was likely the father of Charles. I followed William Ezells roots all the way back to France. He was the son of Thomas Ezell (1716-1782) and Anne Rose. Thomas was the son of Timothy Ezell (1689-1760) and Mary Bradenton. Thomas was the son of George Ezell (born 1645) and Elizabeth Clark. The first Ezell in American records was Timothy Ezell, who named son George in his will and was a taxpayer in Surry County, Va., in 1668. They were Huguenots who came from the small village of Ezalle, France, to escape persecution.. Some of the Ezells moved westward into Brunswick and Mecklenburg Counties. In 1727, George Ezell of Surry County had received 330 acres of land on the south side of the Meherrin River in Brunswick. A William Ezell began to show up in the records there. There was a William Ezell voting in Brunswick in 1748, the year before Delilah Ezells father was born. By 1782, there were three William Ezells on the tax roll for Brunswick. One was the father-in-law of Charles Webb. Delilah Ezells mother was probably Susanna Seat, daughter of Robert Seat, who was the son of Josiah Seat. (1708-1761). Josiah was born in Lunenburg County and died in Mecklenburg. Williams brother Balaam married Sussanas sister Lydia. (Some sources say William first married Eudora La Motte and Balaam married Lydia La Motte.) In 1797, Williams daughter Susannah married Balaams son Jeremiah. Another wife was a Miss Whitlock, daughter of William and Molly Roundtree Whitlock. I found a John Webb in the 1782 records of Mecklenburg County. Was this the John that William had been a neighbor to? On the internet I found a person connected to this John Webb. I was disappointed. The contact said the John I was asking about had no known connection to the Webbs in Greensville and none of the names I mentioned were common in that family. Hope revived. He said that in the process of researching his related John, he had also found a lot of information about those Webbs on the Meherrin River. He put me in contact with a descendant of Kinchen Webb, son of Micajah. The e mail system helped us communicate quickly. But, as fifteen years earlier, the leads started running cold. Just as Warrens descendant could not place Charles Webb of Anderson in the family, neither could the descendant of Kinchen Webb. Then, the contact that had referred me to Kinchens descendant told me he had a copy of a 1787 petition in which residents of the area along the Meherrin River requested to become a part of Greensville County for convenience. Members of the Webb family signed the petition. Yes, I wanted to see it, because he said it had a second Micajah on it -- a young Micajah Jr. Who was he? Kinchen and Warren did not have a brother of that age. If Micajah had a son named Micajah, Jr., it could mean that Micajah had a previous marriage and that Charles could be of that union. The petition had the names of John, Charles, and Micajah Jr. Somehow these three were closely connected. I remembered my befuddlement to discover that John Webb, Jr.(born about 1777), was not the son of John Webb. He was the son of Micajah. So who was the young Micajah Jr, if he wasnt the son of Micajah Webb? Thats right. Micajah Jr. was the son of Micajahs brother John. In 1831 there was a Micajah Webb, Jr. living at Dinwiddie Court House!! As I scanned the names on the 1787 petition a familiar name caught my attention. There was William Ezell. Not far away was Charles Webb, his son-in-lawl!!! The pieces fell into place on May 5, 2000.! This evidence tells me that Charles Webb of Anderson was the son of Micajah Webbs brother John. Micajah Webb, Jr. was an older brother to Charles. One of the Edmund Webbs that lived in Brunswick could have been another brother. The Edmund name probably came from Edmund Ruffin (1713-1790). The children of Warren Webb for certain look to Edmund Ruffin as an ancestor. The family believes that Micajahs wife Martha was connected to the Ruffin line. Its possible that Johns wife, believed to be Lucy, was also of this family. Charles Webbs sister, Temperance, married John or Daniel Cato, Jr. in 1790. By 1794, Temperance was widowed with four sons and three daughters: Sterling, John, Harris, Warren, Patsy, Nancy, and Jincy. The Cato name rang a bell. In the will of Thomas Stribling, one of his highly-esteemed slaves was named Cato!! If you have information to add to this record, please do so. Sincerely, Bobby L.

Posted on: Yell Co. Ar Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Yell?read=251 Surname: TUCKER, WESTMORELAND ------------------------- Ed, Sherry Mideros also has Paul's wife,Sarah, as being a WESTMORELAND. We both have this information from family tradition. Since my branch and Sherry's branch have not been in contact for a couple of generations, I feel pretty good about that claim. I do not think Paul was married twice, but who knows. The census records are consistant on Sarah, except I have not been able to find Paul and Sarah in 1860. Could be because of the War. I know Paul's first son, Clinton, was born circa 1856 so they would have already been married by then. The Sarah buried next to Paul Tucker has a birthdate of 25 Nov 1831. I have received information from Faye (THESANDYS@email.msn.com) who thinks she has our Sarah Westmoreland living in 1850 in Jackson County, Ark, across the border from Independence Co. at the home of widow Minera (Steele) Tucker. Widow of Stitch Tucker. Faye also says "Also, I found a marriage for Alberty Westmoreland in 1847 Independence Co. and in 1850 census report found her Matha Terrell Westmoreland living back at home with her parents and a six month old baby girl Elizabeth Westmoreland." This is a lot to consider and I haven't been active in genealogy for the past few months so I'm going to have to get up to speed on this line again.
Edgar, you all have gotten all of the YELL COUNTY LIST interested in your TUCKER/WESTMORELAND folks, so I did some checking in my Arkansas records and found something VERY interesting. Two things actually. One a marriage in Independence County, Ark. for Alberty Westmoreland. Alberty Westmoreland age 41 to Martha TURRELL age 23, 11 July, 1849 by James F. Saffold JP....Bk. B pg 91 (this Martha should be with him in 1850 census) 1850 Independence Co/ Ruddell Twp/Dwelling 1038 Albert Westmoreland age 42 b SC, Amanda E. age 16b TN., Levi L. 14, Lidda age 12, Nancy J. age 10, Liney age 8, Moses B. age 5 I decided to search for WESTMORELAND in the folks living with OTHER families and here is what I discovered!....I found your Sarah Westmoreland living with an apparent widow Tucker in Jackson County, ARk.....right next door to Independence Co. Jackson County, Ark./1850 Census/Hester Township/Dwelling 24 Minerva Tucker age 31 TN, Sarah age 10 AR, Peter age 5, Chester age 4, WESTMORELAND, Sarah age 18, CATHEY, William age 13. Is the Tucker family living in Chickalah Township in 1850 Yell County the family of your Paul Tucker?? Jacob Tucker age 45 NC, Martha age 45 NC, Nancy age 20, PAUL age 19, Hardy age 18, Caroline age 15, Solomon age 13, WIGGINS, Ramson age 46, Davis C. age 8, Margaret age 6, Dwelling 21. Maybe Minerva Tucker in Jackson Co. is related to your Jacob Tucker family. There are only two other Westmoreland familys in 1850 Ark. one Betsy Westmoreland age 52, Wilburn age 21, Bethia age 13, David C. age 11 Dwelling 116, Prairie Twp., Madison Co. (there are lots of Tuckers here too) I found Martha Terrell living back at home...Notice this in 1850. TERRELL, Oren age 59 GA, Nancy age 42 MO., Sarah age 15, Nancy age 13, HIram age 8, Elllizabeth age 4, James age 1, WESTMORELAND, Martha age 27 (Alberty's bride in 1847...Turrell), BARLEY, William age 8, WESTMORELAND, Elizabeth age 6/12 (oopppps) Dwelling 779, Christian Twp., Independeence Co., ARk. 1850.

Posted on: Yell Co. Ar Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Yell?read=250 Surname: WESTMORELAND, TUCKER ------------------------- Eric, I got the information about Paul Tucker's wife Sarah Westmoreland from Sherry Mideiros . She is a great-granddaughter of Caledonia F.Tucker, b. 1862, dau. of Paul and Sarah. I've been curious about Sarah. If she were a Westmoreland, and your information from the death certificate indicates that she was, then WHO was her father?? She doesn't appear in the 1850 Independence Co., AR with the rest of Alberty Westmoreland's family. But then the 1850 isn't apparently complete because Alberty's wife and some of the children aren't listed either. I have learned that Amanda Emaline Westmoreland, dau. of Alberty and Mary Wilson Westmoreland, married in Independence Co., AR 8 July 1852 to Isaac Robinson. Amanda died before October 1853 and there was no surviving child. That Paul Tucker is in Yell Co., AR in the same general area as Alberty Westmoreland (Chickalah Twp) I would hazzard that Sarah Westmoreland Tucker was either his daughter or possibly his widow. However, I don't have the listing for Alberty in the 1870 Yell Co., AR census and I don't know when and where he died. Do you know if Paul Tucker was married more than once? I ask because I can't fit Sarah into Alberty's family. She is probably a daughter, but the census records on this family are so messed up it is difficult to determine exactly how many children he did have. Write me at edby3@netease.net and let's explore this some more. I'm very eager to determine if Sarah Westmorealnd Tucker was the daughter of Alberty and Mary Wilson Westmoreland. Edgar

Posted on: Yell Co. Ar Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Yell?read=249 Surname: Westmoreland, Tucker ------------------------- In response to "Amanda E. may also have been known as Sarah and may have married Paul TUCKER". My gg grandfather was Paul Tucker and his wife was Sarah. They are buried in Harkey Valley Cemetery in Yell County. I have not been able to determine Sarah's maiden name. Some other family genealogists say it was Rogers. However my grandmother, who just recently passed away, says she thinks it was Westmoreland. My grandmother's father, Jacob Tucker, was Paul and Sarah's son. When Jacob died in 1942, his death certificate listed Sarah Westmoreland as his mother. The informant was his daughter (my grandmother). Furthermore, Jacob's wife, Nancy (my grandmother's mother) was still alive and of good mind at the time. (She lived until 1954.) Both Jacob and Nancy were living with my grandmother at the time of his death, so I tend to view the source as fairly reliable. I have obtained the death certificates of almost all of the Jacob's siblings, in the hopes of finding out Sarah's maiden name, but to know avail. I AM VERY CURIOUS AS TO WHERE YOU OBTAINED THIS INFORMATION REGARDING SARAH AND PAUL TUCKER. I HAVE SEEN NO OTHER SOURCE THAT LISTS PAUL's WIFE AS BEING A WESTMORELAND.

Group, Since this group never fights I feel safe leaving you for about a Week. I am going to Yell County to visit and do genealogy and will be leaving this Thursday May 11th. . I hope to stay till about the 20th but may not be able to keep the brother and husband down there that long <G> If any of you live in that area and wish to visit with me or go out doing some genealogy with me , I'll be in Danville at Orlan Thomas 's house. It's in the book. I'll tell you what I find soon as I get back. ---------- Mary Harkey Russell bird@scrtc.com http://www.scrtc.com/~bird/
Is anyone on the list familiar with the families of William (Wiley) Jones, Leonard Jones, Jacob Jones & Jesse Jones. They moved to Danville area from Macon Co Tn. All four brothers appear on the 1860 Yell Co census. They are the sons of Samuel Jones and Elizabeth Watkins Jones of Macon Co Tn. Jesse was b 1820, Leonard abt 1804, don't have dates for Wm & Jacob. There is a 5th brother Samuel Jr who is mentioned as his death is Danville Ark. I believe that he possibly had moved to Search Co. If any of this is familiar to anyone, would appreciate in hearing from you. Mary E Jones Marion, IL
