What a wealth of grand information on the Jones family! In fact, I personally am not descended from the Jones line. Two of Peter's daughters married into my Wells family, however. Diana Jones b 7 Nov 1846 m Lycurgus M Wells b 4 Sept 1839 Date of marriage 12 Dec 1860. They had nine children. Lycurgus's will was proved in 1881. Descendants of this branch can still be found in White Co, IL. Thereafter Diana did not remarry but appears on the census as housekeeper to various Posey Co families through the time of her death in 1929 at Stewartsville. Mary Ellen Jones b 20 Dec 1836 married William Thomas Wells b ca 1837 also in Posey Co. He died ca 1769. Mary Ellen remarried to William M Ward and removed to White Co. I have not traced her Wells descendants beyond about 1900 as yet. Lycurgus and William Thomas Wells are among the five proven children of James Wells and Elizabeth Roberts, she b ca 1809 Muhlenberg Co KY, he born 1798 or 1799 in VA (probably Washington Co), she the daughter of John and Nancy Cox Roberts, he the won of David and Mary Wells, who migrated to Gibson/Posey Co before 1807. By early census records James and Elizabeth had at least two other children, but no information has yet been found to even substantiate their names. As to the Heck family -- I am interested in them as well. Ennis Wells, son of Richard Wells of Posey Co marries into the Heck family (Richard Wells b ca 1833 m Elizabeth Stephens about 1853) in Posey Co. As "my" general Wells family was the only Wells family in Gibson/Posey Co through at least 1840, this Richard ought to be of my family, but I have been unable thus far to trace his origins with any confidence. As to Peter Jones being Rev Peter Jones -- this information came from a distant cousin (himself a minister) who had done some research many years ago. I confess I have been unable to find a reference in the records, although I do note that Peter Jones was a JP, grand jury member, and more or less acted as an undertaker. I will e-mail you separately about your book. Thank you so much for your information about the Jones family. Margaret Wells
