List, Thank you for your prompt responces. I may be chasing the wrong William Jones. The data should have had him born in Indiana and his parents born in Ohio. But allowing for the errors I have run into census data in the past, he might be the right one. I know some of the family extended into Jackson township from Union and Eagle townships. So know I have a target to see who might be close by in the census. Thank you for the great help. Willard Anderson Cloverdale, Oregon
