Linda, I have down that descendants of John JONES<John<Malachi settled in/around Eagle Lake in northern IA. Mary/Polly JONES<Elias<Malachi married an OTT and live in southern IA. Henry<Elias<Malachi married and lived in Gutherie Co, IA. That is all the IA connection I see-outside of my line, James<Malachi. He married Barbara WALTERS and all the children, I think, were born in OH. A daughter, I think it was, came to Benton Co, IA with her husband. James and Barbara like it so much that when they got home they made plans to move here, too. If anything looks possible,let me know. I may have more info... Janis
