Among his children were these - Frances Goad b. 20 Jan 1817 in N.Car. married John H. Jones in Anderson County, Tenn. (Ayers' father Abraham died there in 1816). Aaron Goad m. Frances Jones 28 July 1833 in Greene County, Ind. Littlebury Goad m. Martha Jane Jones in 1833 Indiana.(same day as Aaron I believe -or nearly). Peyton Goad m. Sophia Jones 11 June 1837 in Greene. Although the internet has Edith Czad or Cazad as the wife of Ayers, we now think she was a Collier, daughter of Aaron and Elizabeth (Goad) Collier of Grayson and Lee Counties, Va.. The Goads were not of Indian descent but the Jones were (Cherokee). I have several references to that. I have a family sheet for the parents of the above Jones but annot locate it right now.(very large family). Some of the Jones Jones who stayed in Tenn. ended up in Fannin County, Georgia. You might type in "Fannin" on the Jones Forum and see what you get. Jefferson T. Jones deserted a family in Ky., went to Indiana and fathered children by three Goad women, only one who he married. He was likely a brother to the above Jones. He had three children by one Goad, then married her cousin !! One story is that the Jones hid out in W.N.Car. to avoid the "Trail of Tears". The dates and location sound reasonable I'll try to locate more but it would help if you would pose specific questions. --- Ken
