Hi Susan; I heard about the big earthquake in Joshua Tree. Have I missed another one? I'd take an earthquake over a tornado any day. I used to tell my mother at least if I go, I will go dry. Of course, I've always luckily lived miles from a fault line. I'd live spot on one if I could get back to Ca. which I'm hoping to do next year. I plan to come out sometime in the spring but first have to get through Christmas and moving my daughter and her three on to the next place. All I have on Elijah Jones is that he was twin to Elisha, sons of John and Margaret Benson Jones. They were orphaned at age 9 and Elisha was raised by David Jenkins whom Elisha took with him to Ohio. Elisha was a chairmaker. He married Susanna Hollingsworth, Jr., d/o Susannah Wright and Big Isaac Hollingsworth. Elisha was b. 1 Jan 1786, d. 7 Sep 1841, presume d. in Ohio. After Susannah, Jr. was killed by lightning while standing in her doorway, Elisha m. Rebecca Pearson. I don't remember where I got the info about the twin brother but I'm certain I was given the info. Haven't made any effort to confirm it since it's not in my area of interest. Surely the connection to all these people is here somewhere--I don't believe much in coincidence. Have you been to Tustin to the LDS library? Sure you have and they have the Quaker records. But you probably know that. :) Later DJ DJ
