Repeat: My search is for James Alexander Jones born 1848, lived in Ashville, NC. I don't know about parents or siblings. I just know he ended up in Perry County, Illinois and married Martha Burr abt 1870 or prior. They moved to KS though, shortly after that. I found Ashville on his funeral records, but not sure if Buncomb County is the place of birth. I found Duquoin,IL on Martha's funeral record. I also want to know how /why the young Jones got to Illinois. Are there other Jones in Perry County? What was the occupations in the area? Could someone do a census lookup for him/relatives 1870, or tax list? Should I go to a nearby county? Any recommendations are appreciated. Thx & Good Luck to all, Debbie
