Posted on: Clarke County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Clarke/576 Surname: Jones ------------------------- Robert A. Jones was in Clarke Co. when he drew land in Fayette Co. in the 1821 land lottery. His son Jesse was born 1788 in GA (prior to the establishment of Clarke). If they were on the same property then, they would have been living in Franklin Co. one of the original counties established in 1777. Does anyone have access to records which would show when and how Robert Jones acquired land in Franklin or Jackson or Clarke? Also when and to whom he disposed of land in Clarke Co.? His son Jesse married in Clarke in 1820 and was still there in and after 1828. In 1830in Clarke Co., Robert executed a deed to Jesse conveying the Fayette Co. land to Jesse. Jesse seems to have moved to Fayette at that time. A son was bnorn in Clarke in 1828 and another son was born in Fayette in 1830.
