One of the sons of Nathaniel and Rachel was Felix Grundy Jones, who married the sister (Nancy Jones Jones) of my Great Grandfather. I have info that Nathaniel and Rachel are both buried at Pleasant Valley Cemetery in Saline County, IL. In 2002, when I was at this cemetery, Nathaniel's headstone was broken into 2 pieces and was not in good condition. I have his death date as October 8, 1846. Rachel died in 1899. I show that they were married December 23, 1824 in Franklin County, IL. Rachel's maiden name may have been determined from a marriage record of one of her children, depending on when and where they married.

Nathaniel's widow Rachel and the younger children are on the 1850 census. I have a transcript of his probate, probably from one of Carla's books, but don't have it on this computer. I think it names all their children. Rachel's maiden name was Anderson per other researchers; I haven't seen the marriage record, and I'm not sure how they know her name. As far as I know, no one has been able to find Nathaniel's parents' names. Two of their sons Albert and Charles married my gg-aunts Nancy Jane and Sarah Carlile, and another son PK was married to a relative on my maternal side. Also, I have a first cousin who is a direct descendant of Nathaniel & Rachel. And our farm is across the road from where the cabin used to stand. The next generation to live in the cabin was Nathaniel's & Rachel's son Philander "PK" Jones and his wife Sarah (Bailey) Hungate Jones. My great aunt told me aboutn visiting relatives at the Jones cabin and playing with other children there, at Dixon-Bailey family reunions, about 1900-1910, but she wasn't clear exactly how the people in the cabin were related. I had a time figuring that out as well, until I realized Sarah Bailey's first husband died, and she had remarried PK Jones. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ILFRANKL-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
