Well, there is news. I had begun to question if John LAWRENCE Jones was correct as all the existing Georgia Records for him are signed John L. Jones. But I now believe that he is the John Lawrence Jones who died in Wilkinson County, GA in 1829. The 1797 Wilkes County North Carolina List of Taxables established certainty that (John) Lawrence Jones of Wilkes County was at least 21 years of age to be taxed and was probably the John Lawrence Jones identified as born December 8, 1776 in the Rigsby book Historic Georgia Familes. Lawrence Jones is listed with 1 pole indicating he at least 21 years of age and born about 1776, the same year mentioned in the DAR publication (below) identifying him as the son of John L. Jones of Wilkes County in 1786 Colonial Census. Note that on the document, Lawrence is literally next to John L. (Litton) Jones. However I have not been able to document his birth (stated as 12/8/1776) and his marriage to Lucy Taliaferro (stated as 1790 in Surry County, NC). The only other "new" thing we've found that is circumstantial now is possible proof that John Litton Jones of Surry/Wilkes County, NC knew the Harden family in Georgia when he witnessed the deed of William Harden, of Franklin County, Georgia in 1795 in Wilkes County, NC. William Harden was the brother of Mary Harden, the wife of John Taliaferro, and he was one of the purchasers at the Estate Sale of Dr. John Taliaferro, conducted by John L. (Lawrence) Jones in Nov. 6, 1821 buying 1 Lythe, 1 bath, 1 axe worth $75. Still nothing definitive but it seems like we are validating the below info: DAR Magazine of December 1916 Vol. XLIX #6, page 394, query 4859: "Jones-Hardin. John L. Jones Jr. of Morgan District Wilkes County NC was b. December 8, 1776 and married Lucy, daughter of Dr. John and Mary (Hardin) Taliaferro. He was the son of John L. Jones who was living in Morgan District Wilkes County NC in 1790 according to the census with 4 males under 16 and two females in his family. John Taliaferro was living in the same Di strict with 3 females in his family in 1790. His wife Mary Hardin was the daughter of Henry Hardin who was also living there with 1 male under 16 and 3 females in 1790." John Lawrence and Lucy Taliaferro Jones had the following children: 1.
