Do you find any mention of Benjamin Watson Jones? He moved to Georgia(Union County), but I don't from which county in North Carolina. I have been searching for any record of him in N.C. for nearly 30 years. He married Sofrona Pless. These are my gggrandparents. Any lead will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
