I am new to this list and was looking for help for a dead end, brick wall, shy (whatever) ancestor. Her name is Mary Ann Jones, born in Memphis, Shelby Tennessee. She married Fields B. Jacaway in Missouri abt 1833, when he died she married James Bates, and died in Canada. Thank you for all your help.

Hello All. I have not been able to unearth a reference, i.e., primary document, that list an Alson Jones before the 1800s? Any one with a reference before this date?

Hello Richard. "Brick walls" can be daunting, but there is usually a way around, or over, or under, or through! Bath Co. VA was formed 1791 out of parts of Augusta, Botetourt and Greenbrier counties. It was named for its "Hot Springs and thermal baths" for cases of gout, rheumatism, and diseases of the liver! It is often helpful to organize a time line of the counties formation which would give you a focal point to direct your research. For example: Bath Co. formed 1791 Augusta Botetourt Greenbrier formed 1745 formed 1770 formed 1778 Orange 1734 Augusta 1745 Botetourt and parts of Rockbridge Montgomery Spotsylvania 1721 Spotsylvania 1721 Augusta 1745 Essex, King William King and Queen.........all before 1721 What this shows is a common thread which localizes to the area of Spotsylvania ca. 1720. Spotsyvania was a key "jumping off point" of many early VA families. A key reference is Forgotten Companions, The First Settlers of Spotsylvania County and Fredericksburgh Town, (with Notes on Early Land Use), by Paula S. Felder. Several familles had an interest in the Shenandoah Valley and received large land grants in what was to become Orange and August Counties. The text entitled:Kegley's Virginia Frontier, describes the early settlement of this region and the Caldwell family were pioneers on the Beverly Manor land, Cub Creek. A John Caldwell lead a Presbyterian Colony to the area ca 1740. Copies of these texts are available at the Joseph Wheeler Jones Memorial Library, Danville, KY. I would suggest following the Caldwell family from the Shenandoah Valley and see if they connect to the same geographic area as your JONES family. Hope this is helpful. Jerry. The Jones Genealogist.

What reference would this be? Thanks, Jerry.

I have not seen anyone post for Maryland. My husbands family came from the Baltimore area. Andrew J Jones Born in 1823. married a Francis Ann Jones. I cannot go back any further.

Thanks for looking! These two are a brick wall in my research. . . .I appreciate the reply.

Jerry, The oldest reference I found to the name ALSON JONES is 1553 and 1608 in Pembroke, Wales. As far as I have been able to determine, this is a given name and not a surname. Since it is rather rare, I think the families in the US who have this name as a given name may all have a common ancestor. Marleen Van Horne

Hello Marleen. I am afraid that I have not seen the name Alson used with the JONES surname. Almost all of my work has been done on dates prior to the 1700s, so it could be more commonly used since this time period. I only have one Alston Jones in Chatham Co., NC, Will Bk, C., p. 104, dated 1855? This name does not appear in Burke, 1840 edition, but there is the spelling Alton, Alston, Alstone, but do not appear Welsh. There are several recent texts on Welsh surnames, i.e., The Surnames of Wales, by John and Shelia Rowlands, and Welsh Family History, by the same. They deal with surnames mostly after the 1800's, but do not list Alson in the index. Do you have a specific reference and date? Jerry.

Speaking of Matthew Jones and the families that vector off from his beginnings in Virginia, the Jones DNA Group is working to get some verifiable descendants on board. With your contacts, Jerry, I am sure you know some people out there who are these descendants. I would appreciate, as would every member who has had their DNA tested, having these people laying down the groundwork for many wonderful things to come. This could make research easier on each and every one who is reading this now. My most distant ancestor that I can verify is Humphrey Jones, born about 1805 in Martin County of North Carolina. I cannot verify or even come close to guessing who his parents are or even who his brothers and sisters were. Many of the records for Martin County were destroyed by fire many long years ago. Marriage records were lost. The 1830 Census records were destroyed. I am sure that everyone can relate to that when they must suddenly take a leap of faith from 1880 to 1900. How much easier would life be if we only had those records? Of course, it would have been much easier if some of our distant ancestors had learned to read and write so that they could leave to posterity all of the information we stay up to three or four o'clock in the morning trying to find. (And just imagine what that was like when we had to go to the library and wind that microfilm around the reel and tediously look through every page, one line at a time. But this is enough. If anyone has any information that could help me identify the parents of my distant Humphrey Jones, I would appreciate it with the greatest of joys. And if I have any information, or can locate the information, I would so gladly do that right away. Ron Jones Administrator Jones Surname FamilyTreeDNA Group and a 35 year genealogist.

If someone could just get them out and into this computer for me.) -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Spence [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, June 26, 2005 9:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Jones] Alson Interesting that you say you'd not seen the name Alson Jones, but more interesting that I too have an Alson born in 1843 in Stokes County NC, the son of Elisha Jones born 1802 in Davidson, NC.

An early JONES family which settled on "the parish of Mulberry Island, in the County of Warwick" appears to be the origin of several generations of fairly unusual first named JONES families. A Mathew Jones, born before 1620, settled this area. His wife appears to be an Elizabeth Albrighton, from whom the name Albrighton, Shortened to "Britton, Briton, etc." in some lines, takes its origin. The second generation of this group build a brick house on Mulberry Island, which has now become a National Landmark, known as the Mathew Jones House (see Historic Preservation, Chapter 9, Nov. 2000, p. 9.10) National Register of Historic Places, Building # 6900342, also known at "Bourbon" or "Brick House Farm". It is presently located in Fort Eustis, Newport News, Independent City. This family group utilized a number of maternal family names as first names including: Tignal (Tingnall), Ridley, Harwood, Albridgton, Scervant, Vinkler and Britton. All are fairly unusual first names for JONES. The family is discussed in Tyler's Quarterly, Vol IX, 1927 - 1928, p. 280; Genealogies of VA Families, Vol. II, p. 508, and a variety of other sources. Family branches involved VA, NC, TN, AL, SC, GA, and TX. These first named JONES'S have occasionally appear on the list I thought it would be helpful to try and show their relationship. Jerry, The Jones Genealogist.

From POULTNEY, VT, NOV. 16, 1981 OBITUARY GRANVILLE, NEW YORK David Jones, 84, died Sunday afternoon at the Emma Laing Stevens Hospital in West Granville, N.Y., after a brief illness. He was born in Cesarea, Wales, Oct. 12, 1897, son of Richard and Winifred Jones. He moved to South Poultney, Vt., in 1921, and to Granville in 1941. He was a veteran of the Welsh Regiment of the British Army. He was a former member of the Poultney Welsh Male Chorus and the Granville Area Chorus. He was a past elder trustee and choir member of the Peniel Presbyterian Church of Granville. Survivors include his wife, the former Elizabeth Parry; a daughter, Mrs. Robert O. (Elsie) Jones, both of Granville, NY; a son, Benjamin D. Jones of Liverpool; six grandchildren. He was predeceased by a daughter, Nancy J. Owens, of Glens Falls, Vt., Funeral services will be conducted Wednesday at 11 a.m. at the McHenry and Roberts Funeral Home in Granville, NY, the Rev. John L. Robertson officiating. Interment will be in Mettowee Cemetery in Granville, NY. Friends may call at the funeral home Tuesday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. THANKS to Jean B. for this lookup. I have not been able to connect this David JONES to my JONES family. Jan H. Jordan, jnrose at webtv dot net

Marleen, There was supposed to have been an 1835 Will written by Ned Jones in Buck Horn creek , NC. But I haven't been able to find it. Buck Horn Creek goes through about 6 counties so each of the county offices would have to be searched. Do you happen to know if there is a Will in the Buckatuna Creek area that might be of help? Where is BUCKATUNA CREEK?/ Original message: " James Jones and Mary [Unknown] who were living in North Carolina between 1795 and 1803. This couple moved from North Carolina between 1803 and 1805." That part would fit right in as they could have been moving more south-- or traveling through TEnn-- as our Wiley E. lists his birthplace as Tenn in Feb. 1804. Wiley E. Jones lists under birthplace in a later census that his father was from NC and his mother from Germany. So if you look at the last census you can find James- it might say where his mother and father were from. The family story is that Wiley E.'s father may have been called Ned-- which is the nickname for Edward. His brother may have been called J.J. -- The dates etc. fit well -- the only problem is we don't have any James in his children-- his family is listed below See if you have any of these unusual names.

I would be interested in comparing notes with anyone researching Wylie Jones of North Carolina. I am a descendant of James Jones and Mary [Unknown] who were living in North Carolina between 1795 and 1803. This couple moved from North Carolina between 1803 and 1805. About 1813, the moved to Wayne County, Mississippi and James died before 1815. Mary appears on the territorial tax lists and censuses until 1820 when she appears in the federal census as head of household with one daughter and four sons in the household. The oldest son, James Jones appears in the records about 1816, and from subsequent census records in known to have been born in North Carolina about 1795. A Wylie Jones appears along with James, the son, in 1818, living on Buckatuna Creek. Wylie may be a son, or other male relative. The other sons of this family are possibly: Britton, Alfred, Ralph and Alson. Alson was born in Tennessee in 1805 and appears to be the youngest child. The only daughter, is Chloe Jones, born 15 May 1803, in North Carolina. If any of these given names ring a bell, please contact me. Thanks, Marleen Van Horne

Wava, You might also consider using a tape player and have your mom talk into it. She could give stories about different family members. Then you could have it transfered and put onto CD's. The little stories about these families memories make the individuals more than a name. Her grandchildren will have something to share with their grandchildren that's priceless. I have wonderful stories from my father I had written out. I shared these with a cousin who never returned them. So I lost out because my dad passed on. Good Hunting Patti

This information was on the last Jones rootsweb, but I think I asked the wrong question. My mother will be 94 in August. She suddenly wants me to make a Jones genealogy booklet for her grandkids for Christmas. I have all of this information, but I know there are typing errors on some of the dates and Kentucky is a little vague. I don't wish to make a booklet with misinformation for her or that is not documented. With all of this information you would think I could find proof of some of this. I have been looking off and on for a couple of years and the only information I can find on the internet seems to lead back to mother's cousin who is the same source I got the orginial information from. I know she visited many of these places and had documentation for much of her information, but the copies she made were on a typewriter, and birth and death dates are typed more than one way. This seems to be a small branch of the Jones family that all moved to Birmingham, Iowa or the surrounding area. There do not seem to be many people researching this branch. Is there a faster way to find documentation than to just go through each census for the whole state of Kentucky looking for Thomas and John Jones?????? I know Iowa means Van Buren County, Iowa, but I have no idea of how to find where in Kentucky. [email protected] Thanks for any information or suggestions you can give me. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Wava Jones First Generation 1.
