Posted on: Brooks Co. Ga Queries Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ga/Brooks/467 Surname: Jones, Tyler, Hunter ------------------------- I would be interested in knowing the parentage of this Malachi Jones. Malachi is a family name of 'my' Jones line. My particular line was in Franklin Co, GA and Spartanburg, SC in c1780-1810. My ancestress, Hester Jones, had the following siblings(born in 1760-1775 timeframe): John Hunter, Malachi, Hiram, Mary, Ann, Hannah, and Caleb Parry Jones. I am wondering if 'your' Malachi could be a son of one of her brothers. I believe that John Hunter (married Elizabeth Humphries), Malachi (married Susan Morgan), and Caleb Parry (married Nancy Parthenia Lee) all remained in GA, whereas Hester and her husband, Patrick Tyler, migrated on to southern Indiana, after the death of her father, Malachi Jones, in 1805 (Spartanburg Co, SC). Other counties in GA that it is believed some of these families went to were Cherokee, Jackson, and Habersham, and note that Brooks County is a lot further south, but perhaps this next generation may have migrated further south in GA.
