Elizabeth and sons Henry & Milton Jones came into court and entered their letters of administration. I states that the 25th of Sep. 1840 is the date of death (on or about) for Elder James. It says that James died "intestate" (which I always believed meant without a will?). I will try to work on this and get it posted. I also have Henry Jones Will who was a son to Elder James. Henry's will is also in Johnson Co., IL.
