    1. [GACLARKE] Jesse Jones and Rebecca Miller m. Clarke Co. 1820
    2. Anne W. Westbrook
    3. Jesse Jones and Rebecca Miller were married Oct. 1, 1820 in Clarke Co. They were still in Clarke when their son Harrison Jones was born in 1828. Census records indicate Jesse was born in GA c. 1788. Tax records indicate he was in Fayette Co., GA by 1831. Their children were Jesse, Jr., Burton, Paschal, Harrison and Robert and daughter Martha. Rebecca was deceased before 1850 and maybe before 1840. In 1847 Jesse posted a bond to be made guardian of his own underage sons, Harrison and Robert. Perhaps it was because they inherited property through their mother's family and as minors could not take title in their own names. Or does anyone have any other suggestions? Does anyone know of Clarke County Jones or Miller families Jesse and Rebecca could have been members of? Harrison and Robert and, I think, Martha lived the rest of their lives in Fayette Co. I'd appreciate any information, clues or suggestions. Anne Westbrook
