Well, other listers, I have completed my research and the microfilm has been scanned. Laying on my comuter desk is a whole stack of papers copied that contains the names of those people who left behind a will in Jones County. While doing my research, I jotted down only those names that were family and related family surnames, along with the dates on the wills as I knew these would be the most pertinent facts that you would be looking for. In essence, this is what I copied down to share with other researchers in Jones County: JAMES ADAMS 2/14/1833 : 11/61837 Wife's name: Sarah Children's names: Middleton Adams, Madison Adams, William Adams, Standmore Adams, Larkin Adams, Samuel Adams, Franklin Adams, Sarah Richey and Mary Adams. So, I will have the name of the individual, the dates the wills were signed and proven, and any surnames associated with the individual's family. I am still searching for my ancestors and their relatives so maybe at a later date, I will have more to add. In the meantime, I hope this little bit will enhance your own search for your ancestors. I will try to keep these numbered in sequence for those of you who might wish to print them out and keep in a folder. I should have the first one on the mailing list sometime within the next few hours. Should you miss any of them, please remember that everything that goes on a Rootsweb mailing list is archived, so they will always be there for you to search through whenever it is convenient for you to do so.
