Surnames: JONES, MCCLURE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Fc.2ADI/1192 Message Board Post: We are looking for any information regarding our great great grandfather, Thomas J. JONES, born 1828, variously listed as NC, GA, SC, who married Margaret Matilda MCCLURE, Gilmer County, GA, 1848. She was born 1834, GA. Her parents are believed to be Richard and Sara (Maiden name unknown) MCCLURE. We have found the family living in Whitfield County, GA, shortly before, during and after the Civil War. By 1878, Thomas and Matilda have moved to Howell Township, Johnson County, AR, with nine children, with one son, Andrew J. "Jack" JONES, being married at the time. His wife and first child accompanied the family west. Their second child was born in Johnson County. Thomas J. JONES served in the GA 39th during the Civil War. We have his Arkansas Pension Application. He and many other JONES family members are buried at the Knoxville Cemetery in Johnson County. And that is all we know about our Thomas J. JONES. If any of this sounds familiar........ Thanks for your help, insights, input. It is all welcome. Raye JONES Blackman
