I saw your name posted in the Gwinett Co. as offering to do look ups. I >have an ancestor that is from this county: SMITH JONES . He and his wife ANNA >BUTLER JONES settled in this county right after their marriage in 1822. They >had nine children and I believe most were born in this county. They were: >Benjamin Curry, Thomas Marion, Rufus Philo, Nathan Henry, Willis Cornelius, >Elizabeth Matilda Jones Talley, Mary Elifilet Jones Overton, Oliver Smith, and >James Hamilton. I am particually interested in trying to find the first two >sons. I have located the families of most of the other children and the final >resting places, but these two sons elude me. The family moved to Arkansas in >the late 1850's and most of the children went with their parents at this time >to the new home, but I can't be for sure if these two did as I can't find them >there at any time. >The family lived in Guinett County until 1848 when they moved to ''Sugar >Valley in the Cherokee purchase''. The only other move that I have recorded >is the one to Arkansas. >My gggrandfather was Willis Cornelius Jones and it is recorded that he married >Ellen Griffin in Calhoun (County?) Ga. in 1853. >Smith Jones was born in 1803 and Anna was born in 1802. The family was >devoted members of the Old Primitive Baptist Church. >This is about all the information that I have that I think might help. >Thank you for your efforts. >Mary >
