Hello! I'm looking for a John A. Jones who moved from SC to Alabama (Mississippi Territory) between 1809 and 1816. He married in AL in 1816 and eventually moved to McNairy Co., TN, where he died @ 1840 I think. Some of his children were: William M.(b. 1819), Parminus (or something close to that spelling), Andrew Jackson (b. 1828), John A., Louisiana (Lucy), Govenor R. (moved to Arkansas), Elizabeth and James. There were two other girls and one more boy I think -- John A. Jones' wife was Elizabeth Slaughter of Madison Co., AL. John A. said his father was from PA. John A. was born in either SC or PA -- conflicting info in the census record. HELP! And thanks :) J Brown

Hi Gayle, I'm only related to the Jones family through my Aunt's husband's family. (My aunt died several years ago at 92 and her husband [my uncle Harold Jones] had died several years earlier.) A couple of years ago I met Harold's younger sister (she's now 92) and when she found out I was interested in genealogy, she asked if I'd try to track her family back. I've had limited success tracking them back from Kansas (1880 to present) to Missouri then Kentucky (ca 1818). Below is a descendant tree of those early Jones. If you would, could you please take a look at these names and see if you recognize any of them. If you do, maybe you could give me a hand so I could come up with something more than I now have and give it to my new found aunt. Thanks, Mike p.s. Please, anybody on the Jones list --- all help would be greatly appreciated!

Seeking infomation on John JONES of Crooked Run, in Brunswick Co., VA. John had a daughter named Elizabeth Keene JONES . Elizabeth Keene Jones married John Bishop 10 Jan 1793, in Brunswick Co.,VA. Can anyone connect to this line.

Leigh, my John Jones moved to Edgefield Co., 96th District, SC, with wife Margaret (Benson) abt 1778 from Uwchlan Township, Chester Co., PA. Their first two children, Jane and William, died 1777 before they moved. Son David, b. 1778, died abt 1780, and son William, born 1780, died 1791; born are buried in Bush River Cemetery, Newberry Co., SC. Eight more children (Sarah, David, Jonathan, Elisha, Elijah--my ancestor,born 1786, Benson, Susannah, and John Jones, Jr.) were born. Margaret was a Quaker, but I have found no evidence John was (it is a possibility if he was, he was disowned for serving in the SC State Troops during the Revolutionary War). John died 1796 and Margaret died 1794; they were buried in the "old broomsage field" on their plantation they owned abt 7 miles out on Newberry-Edgefield turnpike.

Mike, thanks for pointing that out. Yes, I had noticed the discrepancy in the 1750 date after having done research on William Penn; that's why I put it in quotes and also included the quote from "Keeping Up with the Jones." It is more logical that his father or possibly his grandfather came from Wales and John was born in America. I am pursuing information that he was born in NC or PA, and his father was maybe Richard Bright Jones or Francis Jones.

Sandy, Gayle - i've missed something in all the e-mails - but i'm also researching a John Jones in SC and would like to discuss the SSC Jones thanks, leigh

Born in S.C., unknown date, died in Georgia between 1871 and 1880. Married at least twice. Father possibly William Jones since family legend has father as Billy Jones. Jackson's second wife was Celia Self. He had brothers according again to family legend, Darel, Joseph,Calvin and Sebe. His widow and children were found on the 1880 census of Bartow county, GA., they were in Alabama by the 1900 census. Any help with my brickwall would be appreciated.

Gayle, your helping Sandy was great, but one of the sources you quoted had a glaring error in it and I thought you (& Sandy) might be interested if you hadn't already noticed it. Hope this is helpful --- I noticed what I'd call a glaring "error" contained in your quote from "The John Jones Family Genealogy". The quote said: "...to America... about 1750 with one of the groups who came to Pennsylvania with William Penn." This could be really significant fact, if it were accurate, but it looks like the author made a mistake. In any case: William Penn lived from 1644 to 1718; was unquestionably an important figure in early American history; but had been forced (by his demise) to give up bringing groups to North America long before 1750. While it's beyond question that many (most?) of our Jones ancestors came from Wales, such an error in a reference work would concern me, especially when joined together with "presumably".

Linda, you are right..... no sign of Barzilla/Brazilla/Barzela C Jones in 1900. I don't find James and Emily, either. Did Emily die before 1900? Did Barzilla use his middle name in 1900, I wonder? How is your James related to the other Jones boys you mentioned? And is James a son of Henry and Mary? This is not my Jones line, but I too have a James Jones I can't find.... so I know the feeling. Nancy dotsicle

Sandy, according to "The John Jones Family Genealogy" compiled by Rita Jones Elliott, John Jones was born "presumably in Wales, and he is said to have come to America with his parents about 1750 with one of the many groups who came to Pennsylvania with William Penn." In "Keeping Up with the Jones" by Inez Jones Johnson, "the first Jones ancestor came from Wales to Philadelphia. Later, the Jones representatives moved from Philadelphia to South Carolina."

Linda, The 1880 census gives the age of the person, state of person and parents born. That might give you some more ways to look your James up on other census. Also, check counties around Conway Co. Our ancestors moved around a lot more than most people give them credit for.

Enoch Jones, Jr., son of Enoch Sr. and Elizabeth Ferrell Jones, was born abt 1832 in Warren Co, TN, and died February 10, 1863 in TN. He married MARY BURGER February 08, 1854 in Cannon Co, TN. She was born abt 1832 in TN, and died in TN. Both are buried in the Banks Cumberland Pres. Church Cemetery, Smithville, DeKalb Co, TN They both are found in the 1860 census of Warren Co, TN but this is the last census I can find them in. They both could have died in and around the Cannon Co, or DeKalb Co, TN area. Their children were LEETHY JONES, b. 1854, MARTHA JONES, b. 1856, and MARINDA JONES, b. 1858. I hope someone is connected and can give more info on them. Or would be great just to hear from someone new in this family. If anyone knows about this family and where they went, please contact me at [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) Helen

My other JONES family is in and around Warren, DeKalb, Cannon Co, TN. I hope someone is connected and can give more info on them. Or would be great just to hear from someone new in this family. I have a James (J. L.) Jones b. abt 1839, Cannon Co, TN Married Harriet Unknown Married abt 1855, Cannon Co, TN Harriet Unknown Jones was born abt 1839, TN They had at least 2 sons, Hugh Jones, born abt 1856 and Youree Jones, born abt 1858. I am not sure of the spelling of the last son but close. Both born in Cannon Co, TN, Mechanicsville area. The last census I can find the family is the 1860 census of Cannon Co, TN. Both James and Harriet are listed with their two sons. They are all living with James' parents, Enoch and Elizabeth Ferrell Jones. If any one knows about this family and where they went, please contact me at [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) Helen

Well, I don't know if I'm cousin or not but hope to be. lol I still have not connected my Barbary Jones to the others Jones families in the area. Hope to do that this coming year. The Russell Jones that I have in my files is son of Phillip Jones. Russell Jones was born abt 1753 in Johnston Co, now Wake Co, NC and died abt 1828, Franklin Co, GA. He married an Unknown Sarah, 1770, Johnston Co, NC. Here is some notes that I have in his file, starting with his father, Phillip Jones. PHILIP JONES was a farmer and owner of a Plantation, he called, "WILLET". It was near the present day Raleigh Airport, where he is buried. His birth date is not known, but most say between 1701-1710. I am using 1707 until better date in found. His mother's Sir name is not known at this time. His residence in 1758, was Johnston Co, NC. His wife's Sir name is not known at this time but she was called, Rebecca. Their marriage date is not known but using the date of 1740 based upon the children's births. Most likely they married in Johnston County. They had six children 1. ETHELDRIDGE JONES 2. JESSE JONES 3. RUSSELL JONES 4. LEAH JONES 5. RACHEL JONES 6. REBECCA JONES PHILIP's Will is dated, March 9, 1760. He was still living, Oct 18, 1760, but was not alive, Feb, 14, 1761. A deed was made to NATHAN NALL, in Johnston County, Oct 18, 1760, that does not state he is dec'd, and another deed was made, Feb 14, 1761, to NATHAN NALL, who is selling the same land and it claims, PHILIP JONES, is dec'd. After his death, his widow, REBECCA JONES, married, JOHN RENCH, SR., in 1764, Johnston Co, NC. JOHN RENCH, already had a son, JOHN RENCH, JR., from his first marriage, and he and REBECCA go on to have 3 more daughters, CHARITY RENCH, SARAH 'SALLY' RENCH, and PATIENCE RENCH.

Text. Robt. Rains Cl. Biography Of The Jones Family, from History of Worth Co, GA. Taken from website of "Ancestors, Descendents, and Others Relatives of Larry Dale Miller. _http://home.att.net/~bampanonna/1468.htm_ (http://home.att.net/~bampanonna/1468.htm) The JONES' family of Southern Worth Co, GA, the subject of this sketch, are of Welch extraction. The family tradition places the earliest known ancestors as an emigrant from VA to NC. The family remained for more than a hundred years near the ancestral home in Wake County, NC, and then a branch of the family removed to Sumner, Worth Co, GA. The removal to Worth County was brought about by the heavy losses the family sustained during the Civil War. Slaves freed, land lost while the sons were performing military duty, the family turned to lumbering and naval stores for a livelihood. This business was entered by many others who had experienced similar losses and soon the timber of their section was rapidly being exhausted. It was then they sought the virgin pine forests of South GA, along with many of their neighbors and kins people, as a land of golden opportunity. MRS. MARY ANN JONES, widow of ALVIN JONES, removed to Sumner from Wake Co, NC, in 1880. She accompanied two of her sons, YOUNG ANDREW JACKSON JONES, and WALTER ATLAS JONES, of Coolidge, and daughters, AMY ANN JONES, EMILY VICTORIA JONES, and MRS. JAMES L. SINCLAIR, MRS. ELLIOT HOLT, of Sumner, and MRS. ELDRIDGE HUNNICUTT, of Funston. Her eldest son, SIDNEY LANE JONES, had preceded the others to Worth County, in 1877. In 1884, another son, BRAXTON B. JONES, followed the family into its new home. Only one son, ALDRIDGE MYATT JONES, remained behind. His numerous descendants live in Swift Creek Twp., Wake Co, NC. This particular JONES FAMILY, looks back with pardonable pride upon a brave and patriotic ancestry, many of whom distinguished themselves in the service of their state and upon the field of battle. No less than 3 of their great-grandparents, did valiant service as soldiers, in the War of Revolution, and a large number of Uncles and other relatives. The maternal grandfather, of their mother, was MARK MYATT, a brave officer, prominent citizen and a Justice in the Inferior Court of Wake County. He marched with the company of CAPTAIN EBENEZAR FOLSOM, as a sergeant, engaging in the battle of Moore's Creek Bridge. Later, he was made Lieutenant in CAPTAIN WOOD's company, troop of Horsemen, COLONEL MALMEDY's Regiment and served with distinction. Another great-grandfather was, SHADRAK BARKER, a staunch patriot, who took up arms in defense of American Independence. GENERAL JOSEPH LANE, of Edgecombe Co, NC, famous soldier of Colonial times, was a third great-grandfather. Other kinsmen were noted in military and State history as generals, governor of State, United States Senators and Court Justices. This patriotic heritage was reflected by the family that removed to Worth County. 3 sons of MRS. MARY ANN JONES, were veterans of the Civil War, serving through its entire length, and each being wounded upon the field of conflict. Those serving the cause of the South living in Worth County, were SIDNEY LANE JONES, of Tempy and WALTER ATLAS JONES, of Sumner-Coolidge. The call to arms by the United States Government in the recent World War was answered by 2 sons of BRAXTON B. JONES. LEO B. JONES, responded upon the call of the local Committee, entering the service from Worth County, being trained at Port Sereven, near Savannah. The other son, NORDOFF R. JONES, volunteered in Atlanta at the beginning of the war for the United States Navy and is a veteran of the United States Ship, North Dakota, continuing in the service several months subsequent to the close of hostilities. The earliest ancestor to be documentary established by the family surname is PHILIP JONES, (1705-10 to 1760) and wife, REBECCA. PHILIP JONES settled in 1758 on the fork between Dutchman's Branch and Swift Creek in Johnston County, now Wake Co, NC, 10 miles south, of the present city of Raleigh, and called his new home "Willett." He was accompanied by at least one of his brother, JAMES JONES, and wife, MARY. PHILIP JONES died in 1760, leaving his widow, with 6 children: ETHELDRED, JESSE, RUSSEL, LEAH, RACHEL, and REBECCA JONES. The widow remarried in 1764, to JOHN RENCH, who left her a widow, the second time, in 1784. 3 daughters, PATIENCE, SALLY, and CHARITY RENCH, were born of the second marriage. REBECCA JONES RENCH, widow of PHILIP JONES, died October 21, 1804. Her 9 children married into the first families of the county, among whom were LANE, SPEIGHT, NORRIS, PEDDY, RICHARDSON and ELKIN families. Each of PHILIP JONES' three sons, was devoted to the American cause, showing themselves to be brave patriots, serving honorably in the North Carolina State Militia. The eldest, ETHELDRED JONES, was promoted to the rank of Captain and valorously led his company in several fierce engagements. Some of the better known conflicts in which he personally was engaged were, Moore's Creek Bridge, the Battle of the Cowpens, and of Guilford's Courthouse. JESSE JONES, a second son, saw military duty as a private during the memorable struggle, was compensated by the United States Government for his service. After the conclusion of hostilities with the English, he became a large planter in Southeastern Wake County. RUSSEL JONES, the youngest son, valiantly served in the War of Revolution, was later granted land in Franklin Co, GA, as a war veteran, removing to Wilkes County about 1788 and later to Franklin County, where he lived until 1828, loved and respected by all his fellow citizens. He left a large family of sons, daughters and grandchildren in Northeast GA. One son, RUSSEL JONES, of Jackson Co, GA, was designated by an act of Georgia Legislature of 1824, in chartering "The First School For Girls in Georgia" as the first named member of the Board of Trustees for that pioneer institution...the JONES FAMILY, experiences a sense of modest pride in having such a distinguished honor as the chairmanship of the first Board of Trustees of the earliest female institution of higher learning ever chartered in Georgia, come to the grandson of PHILIP JONES. CAPTAIN ETHELDRED JONES, was the eldest son of PHILIP and REBECCA JONES and was a life-long citizen of Wake Co, NC. About 1775, he was married to JANE or JEAN LANE, the granddaughter of GENERAL JOSEPH LANE, by his eldest son, BARNABAS LANE. CAPTIAN JONES began his military career in early life as a member of the Colonial Militia. In 1772 and 1773, he was Ensign in Co 8 and Co 9, respectively. COLONEL JOHN HINTON's Regiment, North Carolina Colonial Militia, Wake County. Attaining the rank of Captain in the State Militia during the War of Revolution, he was held in high regard both by his company and his fellow citizens. He was granted over 12000 acres of fertile lands, along Swift and Middle Creeks, in his home County. Building a large home near Fuquay Springs, in Middle Creek Twp., which was called "The Mansion", he engaged in stock raising and agriculture, living to the age of nearly 86 years. Before the death of his beloved wife, in April of 1786, a daughter and 4 sons were born to CAPTAIN JONES. ELIZBAETH JONES was the only daughter, The sons were, ALLEN JONES, AUGUSTINE JONES, MARTIN JONES and BARNABAS JONES. The grandfather of the family that removed to Worth County, GA, was the second son of CAPTAIN JONES. AUGUSTINE JONE was of a kindly, quiet nature and retiring in disposition. He was married in 1813 to EDITH BARKER, a daughter of a War of Revolution Veteran, SHADRICK BARKER, of Wake County. AUGUSTINE JONES never held any public office but was interested in public affairs, followed the honored vocation of planter, respected by his generation. His children were, ALVIN JONES, ELIZBAETH JONES, ETHELDRED BENTON JONES, JEFFERSON JOHN QUINCY JONES, and REBECCA JONES. His daughter, REBECCA JONES, married GREEEN HAYWOOD ALFORD, and became the mother of COLUMBUS A. JONES, SR., W. L. H. JONES and ALFORD J. JONES, prominent lumbermen and naval stores operators in Worth County during the last quarter of the 19th century. The husband of MRS. MARY ANN JONES, of Sumner, Worth County, was ALVIN JONES, eldest son of AUGUSTINE JONES, and wife, EDITH. They made their first home upon the ancestral lands inherited from CAPTAIN JONES, and cultivated the fertile soil of Middle Creek bottoms with slave labor. He was a successful planter and of enterprising character. In 1836, he married the daughter of WILLIAM PARTIN and CQANDIS MYATT, and granddaughter of LIEUTENANT MARK MYATT, already mentioned. ALVIN JONES died in early middle life from typhoid fever in the year of 1860. SIDNEY LANE JONE, of Tempy, Worth Cunty, was the eldest of the brothers that came to Georgia. In 1880, he was married to MARTHA WILLIS, daughter of DANIEL WILLIS, one of the early settlers of Worth County. SID JONES, as he was best known to his neighbors, was a man who possessed the courage of his convictions. In later life, he affiliated with the Protestant Methodist Church. In early manhood, he was a strong Democrat but became an ardent Populist in the early part of the decade of the nineties, remaining in this political faith until his death in 1915. Possessed also of keen insight, a good judge of economic values, and clever trading ability, enabled him to accumulate a small fortune. Kindly in his home life, deeply interested in local education and in national polities, hospitable toward his friends, he exhibited the elements of a substantial citizen. His three sons have distinguished themselves in various vocations of life. CHARLES S. JONES, is a splendid citizen of Tempy, successful in merchandising and agriculture, popular in his community, trustworthy in every way, and is a steward in the local Methodist Church. The youngest son, BOYD L. JONES, is an educator, who is well known and was formerly the Superintendent of County Education in Worth County. His eldest son, D. L. B. JONES, who for years, was an educator in Worth County, but is now merchandising in another County. A daughter, ADA JONES, was married to REV. JESSE HURST, of the Protestant Methodist Church.

He was married to a young school teacher of Parkerville by the name of OSIE ANN POPE, daughter of ALEXANDER POPE and AMANDA ARLINE, formerly of Decatur County. BRAX JONES, as he was familiarly called, operated lumber mills and ginneries for a number of years, being associated part of the time with the different ALFORD brothers, and later operated his plantation until overtaken by the infirmities of age. A strong Democrat, a Master Mason, Steward in the Bridgeboro Methodist Episcopal Church, South, for a long period, he exhibited a keen interest in all the affairs of County and Community. His deepest concern in public matters was for better schools and good roads. Industry, integrity and hospitality were marked traits of character. MRS. JONES, was a woman of strong Christian faith. Removing to Sylvester before their death, they were buried in the Town Cemetery. Two daughters and 1 son of his 6 children, now live in Worth County, MRS. ROY BANKS, of Etawa, and MRS. EARLY E.

I don't guess you had a later Edward, i.e. about 1775 who was called Ned did you?? Of course, Ned is a nick name for Edward. I've been searching for ole Ned for some time. Is Shocco Creek close to Buck Horn Creek? There is supposed to have been a Ned Jones who wrote an 1835 will in Buck Horn Creek NC but Buck Horn Creek goes through about 5 counties. The Will is not posted in the State listings of Wills so would have to research all AT the county court houses. seems like Warren is one of those counties.

My ancestor was Joseph JONES (1801-1870), a convict from London transported to Port Jackson (Sydney, NSW, Australia) on the ship “Hadlow (1)” in 1818, having been convicted of burgulariously breaking and entering at the Old Bailey in London in April 1818.
