Yes, Marilyn, I do believe this Cadwallader Jones to be my 10th generation grandfather. He is quite a character! His father was a Richard Jones, of Eastcheap, London and my 11th generation grandfather. Most researchers believe Cadwallader was born VA ca. 1650 after Richard arrived, only to have his father die before 1652. He was raised by his stepfather Robert Williams, and perhaps his stepmother Francis Townsend Baldwin (most believe her to be the biological mother). He had at least two older stepbrothers (Townsends), and perhaps stepsisters as well. An interesting text describing this environment is: Chotankers: A Family History, by A. Edward Foote, 1981. His stepfather was appointed Lt. Col. Robert Williams at the first court held 27 May 1664 for Stafford Co., VA This included "all the Potomac watershed from the Western boundary of Westmoreland Co. (at Machutick) i.e.. Machodoc Creek, to the Blue Ridge.." Poor Cadwallader grew up with a gun in one hand and our notorious JONES "hot temper" in the other. However, I believe it was the connections to our JONES and JEFFERYS family in England that brought the sense of family. His life is quite the adventure. Over the past 20 years I have carefully documented his life year by year. I literally have thousands of pages of documents and research notes. These research notes are available for those to use in the Joseph Wheeler Jones Memorial Library. Many of these research notes have been published in previous editions of The Jones Genealogist. Hope this is helpful. Jerry.

Hello All. I have received multiple emails regarding "BRICK WALLS"! It occurs to me that there are many of you with the same type of difficulties. Perhaps it would be helpful to come together as a group and present to one another their JONES research leading up to their "brick wall". I would propose an annual JONES BRICK WALL DEMOLITION DERBY! Perhaps over Labor Day Weekend. This would provide an opportunity to learn from one another and share methods or techniques which may help demolish a brickwall for you. I would be willing to help organize such a meeting. Any interest? Jerry. The Jones Genealogist.

Hello. There are a number of James Joneses listed, but I do not know how they would connect to Barren Co.? Jerry.

I would like to participate. William P. Jones

Hello Cousin Marilyn. Yes, I do believe the Peter Jones and the Cadwallader Jones families are related. Much had been written about both of these families. The classic is: Peter Jones and Richard Jones Genealogies, by Augusta Fothergill, Old Dominion Press, Inc, Richmond, VA, 1924. If you have not seen a copy of this, you should try and locate one, since it is the foundational work on this family group. An additional reference is: A Genealogical History, By Colonel Cadwallader Jones, published 1899. Both references are muddy about the early immigration period, and leave many unanswered questions. I have spent many years researching these families. To date my research suggest that they originate from the ancient Cornovii tribal groups which occupied the strategic, geographic land entrance to what was to become Wales. They occupied the land between the headwaters of the River Dee to the North, and the headwaters of the River Severn to the South. Thus they controlled the only "land" access to the bread basket of Wales. This became a key land bridge for the trade between the tribal groups, and a key "military zone". The ancient trade routes were constantly contested and Iron age hill-forts dot the landscape. A hotly contested battle occurred here 5 August 642 AD, and a Christian King of Northumberland was slain by a Pagan King of Merica. (This Pagan King was recruited by the King of NW Wales to fight!) Legend has it that the Christian King was defeated, and to mock "Christianity", the Pagan King had his defeated foe's body parts attacked to several crosses. The Welsh came to call the place Croes Oswald. This to others became Oswestry. This area seems to be center of our family group. As you can tell, there is much more to this family story. Copies of the references quoted above are located at the Joseph Wheeler Jones Memorial Library, Danville, KY. My personal research notebooks are also available to the JONES researcher by appointment. Jerry. The Jones Genealogist.

hey Dr. Jerry, does that book say anything about my brick wall James Jones who came from Va to Barren co Ky and died there in 1809?

Hello BarBara. A good place to start may be a reference called: Pioneer Families of Eastern and Southeastern Kentucky, by William Kozee, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. 1980. Chapter III describes the early settlement of Knox Co., KY. It abstracts the 1810 Census, listing both Arthurs and Jones families. There are two John Joneses. I would use this 1810 census to locate a census tract number. I would find the Arthurs and Jones families that are near one another, since the census taker had to record the day's work within a set time period, he would number each family. The cluster of numbers with similar units would mean the families were within walking or riding distance to one another. This should help separate the JONES groups using Maiden Names. Also you will get a sense of approximate ages, and number of children, etc. I call this "cluster group analysis" based upon geographic and historical context. Jerry. The Jones Genealogist.

Hello Idalu. I came across your completed email. You certainly have done a wonderful job collecting your information. After 30+ years I would guess you have looked under all the rocks. Have you been able to identify which unit your Thomas Jones was enlisted? How you attempted to obtain his REV WAR service record? The DAR is a key resource, and you have listed his DAR #. Have you been able to locate your Thomas in the 1790 or 1800 census? If so, you can often find him by the lists of children through their age ranges, but not by name. If you are able to do this, you will have a census number. This would allow you a way to identify neighbors of Thomas. The neighbors were often family members and you might be able to link to a family group. It is of interest to me that you have recorded he was married in England after our Revolution? It would seem a little unusual that the old "mother country" would tie any knots with their rebellious children! You also identify Thomas as a "Whig". This was the "party of the people" and had much support around London, central and eastern England. You might try and research the Whig party in early GA to see if there is any connection to other JONES families. You also have Thomas dying in Columbia Co., GA. I would check with their local library and see if you can find the dates of the first newspapers for this area. They have obituaries published, and may record the death of your Thomas. Hope this is helpful. Jerry, The Jones Genealogist.

Anyone know Bart and Marjorie Morrison Jones? They were in MO and Rhea County TN Area near or just before 1900. Please help me locate these ancestors. Jerry Baker TN

I am looking for information on ancestry of my great-grandmother, Ada Jones. She had siblings, Mary and James Holland Jones. James was born 10-26-1878. I found him in 1880 Monroe Co., AL census with parents, James and Mary. He and Mary attended a small College in Boaz, AL. Ada first married Monroe Chastain giving birth to my grandmother, Zanie in 1899. Ada divorced Chastain 5 yrs later and ma. a Roden, giving birth to Beattie shortly thereafter. She died in 1909 and is buried in DeKalb Co. James in buried in Leesburg, AL. I have noticed a James Wiley Jones ma to Marry Hughes on Rootsweb. Their ages correspond to the ages given in the 1880 census. Any info would be much appreciated. thank you, Louise Roebuck Cook _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Fellow Listers, I apologize if this is a duplicate for you. But I thought this little story sums up why we do what we do. I received it some time back and have added it to my Family Heritage scrapbook that I am working on. The author is unknown but my hat is off to him/her for putting it appropriately in words. I share it with you in case you wish to use it, too. It is pinted below my signature line.

In each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. Doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the storytellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called, as it were, by our genes. Those who have gone before cry out to us, "Tell our story!" So, we do. In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have I stood before now and cried? I have lost count. How many times have I told the ancestors, "You have a wonderful family; you would be proud of us." How many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was love there for me? I cannot say. It goes beyond just documenting facts. It goes to who am I and why do I do the things I do. It goes to seeing a cemetery about to be lost forever to weeds and indifference and saying, "I can't let this happen." The bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh. It goes to doing something about it. It goes to pride in what our ancestors were able to accomplish, how they contributed to what we are today. It goes to respecting their hardships and losses, their never giving in or giving up, their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their family. It goes to deep pride that the fathers fought and some died to make and keep us a Nation. It goes to a deep and immense understanding that they were doing it for us. It is of equal pride and love that our mothers struggled to give us birth. Without them we could not exist, and so we love each one, as far back as we can reach. That we might be born who we are. That we might remember them. So.we do. With love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence, because we are they and they are the sum of who we are. So, as a scribe called, I tell the story of my family. It is up to that one called in the next generation to answer the call and take my place in the long line of family storytellers. That is why I do my family genealogy, and that is what calls those young and old to step up and restore the memory or greet those whom we had never known before. -Author Unknown

Hello Anna Mary, Have you been able to find your Beverly listed in the census prior to 1850? This would be a good place to start. I would be glad to send you information regarding The Jones Genelogist newsletter. Send a SASE to The Jones Genealogist, 243 N. Third Street, Danville, KY 40422.

While researching my Jones lines (William Jones, son of John) I often come across this same notation from many researchers who quote her as a source. This William married Phoebe Collins and I do not know if Ms. Stamper is a Jones or Collins researcher. A google search has not produced much information. Is anyone familiar with this work?

Our brick wall is collecting moss, ivy and a lot of dust. Thought I would try again, as it has been awhile. Looking for Frank Albert Jones, born around 1909 give a take either way. Last know whereabouts was 1951 in the state of Washington. From California, maybe born in Texas. Had a brother named Wilbur (sp)? Can anyone out there help us? Thanks Theresa

Hello "mombalu". Not sure I received all your email, and do not have a name. But, there is a fair amount on the JONESES of GA. It is helpful to understand the historical context of the settlement of GA. The southern frontier faced not only problems with the French, but the Spanish as well. Key to this interaction was the fur trade with the Indians of the interior, particularly the Cherokee and Creek Indians. GA in a sense was a buffer colony of the South Carolina trades who were interested in pushing their business westward. It would also place a border between SC and FL. (then controlled by the Spanish). Early settlements and their schemes are discussed in a text: The American Heritage History of The Thirteen Colonies. After several unfruitful attempts, a fellow names James Oglethorpe in 1730, convinced a group of folks to use the land as a refuge for indigent debtors. The propaganda induced some 1200 Lutherans from Salzburg to settle in GA, along with other groups Germans, Scottish Highlanders, Welshmen, Englishmen, and Jews. They arrived in Charles Town Jan. 13, 1733. He worked closely with the Creek and Cherokee Indians and many of the religious reformers were drawn to the colony. (Charles Wesley, the founder of Methodism, visited GA in 1735. ) Thus various religious groups played an important part in the early settlement. Scottish Highlanders were persuaded to form various fortified areas along the border of Spanish Florida. A list of these early settlers can be found in a text called: A List of Early Settlers of Georgia, by E Merton Coulter & Albert B. Saye; Univ. of GA Press, 1949. A list of the JONESES can be found here. There are an additional 32 references to the JONES surname in GA found in JONES JOURNEYS. Early Georgia Wills and Settlements of Estates by Sarah Smith is also published. The fact that you information is taken from a family Bible might suggest a religious connection to a particular denomination. Finding out which denomination can be extremely helpful since many JONES families moved among a particular set of religious beliefs.
