Edwin: The only thing I think you can do is to appeal to the person who posted the information and request that it be changed. Good luck ... my experience is that most people are not inclined to change their data. You can send the person (Sharon Terca sharonterca@hotmail.com)an email including the information you have that shows her to be incorrect and hope she changes it. Or create your own database and add it to that site. Kathi Jones-Hudson JONES Listowner __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Joyce -- everyone: In a word, no this List cannot be broken into regions/countries, etc. From Rootsweb instructions to Listowners: You May Not: Change the overall focus/topic of the list. For example, you may not change a list that focuses on a given surname to exclude all except those from a specific lineage or region. You would need to request a second list with those restrictions if such was your goal. There are already a few other Jones oriented Lists http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/surname/j/jones.html and to see what Smith surname lists there are (more of them) http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/surname/s/smith.html You, or anyone else, could request a new Jones-oriented List; you would be the Listowner, could do an 'advertisement' on this List, should at that point join other Lists related to your search area (i.e., Virginia) and advertise there. If you are really interested in doing this, contact me off-list at mdcat.geo@yahoo.com and I'll lend you a hand getting started. I do agree with Chris that folks need to include enough detail for us to identify where their Joneses are from and even more importantly please, please change the subject of your email to reflect what is in your posting. That way, if your Jones-post is about SC and I'm not interested in folks in SC then I can delete the message without looking at it. A good query always includes: Who, What, When & Where.

Andrew Jackson Jones born 1840 , in Indiana, father born in Ga. Mother born in Va .Now I find Jackson Jones in Illinois , Missouri then Ark.Served in the Civil war from Ill .How can I pin him to one spot ? Need the names of his parents

I am interested in trading information with anyone related to or descended from John A. Jones, Sr. b. 1729 in England, fought in the Revolutionary War and died in 1840 in Franklin Co., PA (I think), buried ???. When he died he had 10 children living and I am descended from his son Samuel.

Is this a better way to break it down for the list? And if you have any info please let me know. Thank you very much. Sincerely Patty

This is a good discussion and should remind us of the need to identify our subjects as best we can. With the Jones surname being the 4th most common, and then with so many common first names, there is a need to provide some details as to state and time period. Otherwise the queery is lost in the sea of Joneses. I too like to see the vast majority of the queeries but do look closer at those that provide some level of detail. Thanks.

It has appeared to me that the JONES families all started out in a similar area in the NE early on, and many went out to land that was granted from the gov't. for military service. Isn't it possible that the same families divided and went to these various regions of Ohio, IN, GA, etc. My line went from MD to PA, OH, IA and IL. I find other Joneses who ended up in the same area of IA and IL but came up from KY and TN. Isn't it possible that these Jones families communicated and came to IA or IL on recommendation from other Jones' relatives? Whatever, we Jones' descendants have a challenge putting our lines together. Julie Jones Beenblossom

Dear Sandra; I know of no other Hawkins/Jones connections except the one in Culpeper Co. VA area. John and Nancy Jones Hawkins married Dec. 1787 in Culpeper Co. VA. The family (eventually there were 2 boys and 2 girls) moved to the Rowan Co. NC area. John probably died there, but his widow Nancy (Jones) returned to Culpeper Co., for she married Alexander Smoot there 17 Oct 1798. Then they went back to Rowan Co. NC. Nancy's son William Hawkins was a justice of the peace for Rowan Co. Her other son was John J. (Jones?) Hawkins and know very little about him tho' he may have been born in NC. Here's what I have on William Hawkins son of Nancy Jones Hawkins and John Hawkins: William Hawkins was a Justice of the Peace in Rowan Co., North Carolina. There's a marriage record in Rowan Co. for a William Hawkins and Mary Allen. This is dated Jan. 19, 1817. Jacob Allen provided bond and the witness was R. Powell. It is likely that Mary was related to the Isaac Allen who married William's sister Sarah (Sally). March 4, 1824, Rowan Co. N.C. Deed Book 29 page 315: Joseph Allen gave Wm.Hawkins 9 acres on Dutchman's Creek (adjoining Samuel Smith) for $100.00. The witnesses were Peter Eaton and James Smith, dated Feb. 1827. John J. Hawkins Jr. was born about 1789 and died before 1830 probably in Rowan Co. NC area. Hope this helps. Joyce

Thank you for sharing Joe!!! These are the kind of people that are worth remembering, I would hope some of his family are on this list. -Mark

Deb. My James Jones (the one I actually know about) was born to Wyatt Hawkins Jones and Mary Cornelia Goodwin abt 1864 in Marshall Co., MS. He married Edna Ethel Coleman in 1885 in Marshall Co., MS. They had 2 children Teamious Hawkins Jones and Carrie Lee Jones. Teamious was my grandaddy. I don't know much more about him because when Carrie was born Edna died and James ran off with some woman the family didn't approve of and left his children for the relatives to raise. James sister Susie and Edna's brother, Garrett were also married and they had the 2 children most of their lives. No one ever spoke of James to my mother. Until I told her otherwise she was under the impression the her dad was orphaned because his dad (James) had died shortly after Edna. She didn't know he had run off with this other woman. I don't know James middle name. There was another James Jones in the family. My James had a brother named Chalmers Burroughs Jones. Chalmers named one of his sons James Adrian Jones. This James was probably born around 1882 possibly in Desoto Co. or Marshall Co., MS. Hope some of this helps. Sandra

Hello Jones readers or listers !!!! I found the newsclipping from today newspaper, and thought you all might like to read interesting story about William Jones... I like to share this with you all readers.... LOCAL HISTORY-----FRONTIER DIARY GLENWOOD SPRINGS NEWSPAPER...POST INDEPENCE NEWS The decade of the 1840s brought America to the treashold of change. White civilization was expanding across the continent. Conflicts with NativeAmericans were on the rise. Questions about the morality and expansion of slavery werebeing debated. This was William Jones's world. Born in Virginia to parents of African decent, William Jones was a slave. With the coming of the Civil War, Jones enlisted, becoming one of 200,000 African-American soliders to serve in the conflict. After the lCivil War, William Jones continued his miltary service, serving as a Buffalo Soldier during the Indian wars. During a mid-1800s campaign near Meer, Jones was caught in a fierce snowstorm. He lost portions of both feet to frostbite. shortly thereafter, Jones came to Glenwood Springs, becoming one of the first Africian-Americans to settle in the town. He was employed as bank janitor, boot black, porter, gold miner, town scavenger, and newspaper press maintenance man. As an interdeominational minister, he became known as Deacon Jones. Deacon Jones; deep religious convictions drove him to rally members of the Glenswood Spring African-American community toward the formation of a Bapotist Church. in 1910, he helped purchase in the trust for the First Baptist Church of Glenwood Springs the propoerty at 805 Pitkins Avenue. By 1912, a church was erected on the site which served the religious needs of the community, black, and white. William ('Deacon) Jones died on January 18,1918, at age of 77, and was buried in Linwood Cememtery. His simple headstone marks the resting place of a man born into conflict but died unity a community. this is written by Willa Soncarty There is a picture of headstone. It said simply. DEACON JONES 1918. (Glenwood Springs is in Colorado and Meeker is in Colorado) regards, Joe Jones

Sandra, Do you know if all or both your James Jones' were from Ms.? I'm searching for James Albert Jones B. in Ms. I think. Would love to find info on His father also. Deb ----- Original Message ----- From: <SSbr2Day@aol.com> To: <JONES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, February 14, 2003 2:41 PM Subject: Re: [Jones] Jones/Hawkins connection grandfather, Wyatt Hawkins Jones, born 1822 in NC Marshall Co., MS. I received some information that his father may have been John Hawkins Jones (from KY at one time) and a possible brother named James Jones. The info states that James was born in 1801 and that seems a little long between children to me especially when there were additional siblings (about 5) after Wyatt. My inclination is to believe James was his father and that John was the father of James. Wyatt named one of his sons James who was my great grandfather. I've not been able to get in touch with the person who posted that info in a message board about 3 years ago to find out where she got it. Still searching, Sandra

I have some info that may be helpful but need details.

I also have a William Jones, but I have no info on him. I don't really know for sure where my Joneses originated. I know "of" the most recent were in Ms. Therefore if I had Jones ancester's that came from Virginia, for example. I would'nt find that out unless I was a member of both Region List's.
