Hi, I'm looking for the parents of my GGG-grandfather, Cornelius JONES, born ca 1810, most likely in Ross Co, OHIO. (Cornelius died in 1858 in Newton Co, IN.) I believe his father might have been Moses JONES, born in Hampshire Co, VA (now West VA) and later lived in Ross Co, OH. Moses's father may have been Abraham JONES who also lived in Ross Co, OH. This is all speculation at this point. Does anyone have any additional information on these people? Thank you!

It is only on rare occasions that I add a book to the list of "must haves" for the study of Scotch-Irish genealogy.  This one is for our friends with Pennsylvania connections and it is certainly a rare item.   Published in 1856 "by a descendant" it is titled: "A Tribute to the Principles, Virtues, Habits and Public Usefulness of the Irish and Scotch Early Settlers of Pennsylvania,"   Chambersburg, Pa., Printed by M. Kiefer & Co. 1856, 171 pages.   >From the preface the following:   "The writer of the Tribute contained in this work, had long desired to see from the Historical publications in Pennsylvania, a vindication of the character and principles of the Irish and Scotch early settlers of this great State and their descendants against reproach, as well as aspersion, cast upon them in some modern publications having pretensions to Historical accuracy...The writer, feeling as if the sand of his Time glass was nearly run out, and that he ere long must be laid aside from labor... has hastily thrown together in his leisure hours, taken from other avocations, the remarks contained in the subsequent pages." Those other avocations are Dr. Foote's Sketches of North Carolina and Virginia, Day's Historical collections, Dr. Smith's Old Redstone, Dr. Alexander's Log College, Dr. Miller's Life of Dr. Rogers, Dr. Elliott's Life of McCurdy and others, Craig's History of Pittsburgh, Hazard's Colonial Records and Archives of Pennsylvania, and American Archives by Force and Gordon's History of Pennsylvania, Mr Rupp's Histories of Lancaster, Cumberland and Franklin counties. The style of writing and knowledge of early Presbyterian history indicates the author may have been a member of the clergy*.  There is a lot of detail on the early members of the church as well as problems with the Indians and the struggle over land rights during the westward expansion.   The book reads a bit like Prof. Hagy's thesis on the early frontier settlement at Castle's Woods, Virginia and it is a combination of history, genealogy and geography. *I have been told recently that Judge Chambers is the author of this work. Listed below are the other books and manuscripts previously offered to the various surname lists that are predominately Scotch-Irish: The Laggan and its Presbyterianism and In the Days of the Laggan Presbytery, 1905,1908, by the Rev. Alexander Lecky, B.A., member of the Royal Sociey of Antiquaries of Ireland, Belfast, Davidson & McCormack, 54 Kings St.  211 pages    On our recent trip to Donegal we met J.B. Shannon, age 90, who assisted in the 1975 reprinting of this book.  He is the last living person who had anything to do with these books and he says they are still the BEST source for Ulster Presbyterian research.  From Lecky I quote, "The lists of names of former generations of Lagganeers, and their places of abode, that are given in the Appendixes, and which NEVER before appeared in print, whilst they may of necessity prove dull reading to those who have no acquaintance with the locality, will not, I hope, be altogether uninteresting to those who bear the same name, or live in the same places..." Fighters of Derry, Their Deeds and Descendants, being a Chronicle of Events in Ireland during the Revolutionary period 1688-1691, by William Young, Eyre and Spottiswoode, London, 350 pages.    One of the most difficult sources to locate, in fact almost impossible.  Months worth of reading and packed with great genealogy.  Contains the following biographical sketches:    1.  The leaders of the County Associations who, with their levies, took part in the preliminary operations and contributed much of the man power for the Defence. 2.  The Apprentice Boys and those responsible for shutting the gates on the 8th Dec. 1688. 3.  The actual Defenders during the 105 day siege (over 1200 genealogical sketches) 4.  Those engaged in the relief of the city A History of the Siege of Londonderry and Defense of Enniskillen in 1688 and 1689, with Historical Poetry and Biographical notes, by the Rev. John Graham, M.A. Rector of Magilligan in the Diocese of Derry.  Includes the Battles of the Boyne, Athlone, and Aughrim and the siege and Capitulation of Limmerick by Lord McCaulay, Toronto, 1869    The historical poems are family genealogies about those who were at Derry and where they came from.  Along with "Fighters of Derry" these two sources contain more actual genealogical information than any others I have seen. Three Hundred Years in Innishowen, Being More Particularly an Account of the Family of Young of Culdaff with Short Accounts of Many Other Families Connected with Them, by Amy Young, 1929, The Linenhall Press, Belfast, 311 pages.    Some of the names included are Young, Hart, Harvey, Cary, Vaughan, McLaughlin, Skipton, Richardson, Knox, Ussher, Smith, Nesbitt, Chichester, Ball, Lawrence, Crofton, Boyd, Stuart and many others. The Laggan and its People, by S.M. Campbell, privately printed. A look at the history of the Laggan (Presbyterian Derry/Donegal) through the eyes of a local historian. Draws on local lore, Abercorn papers, records from PRONI. The Tinkling Spring: Headwater of Freedom, A Study of the Church and Her People, 1732-1952, by Howard McKnight Wilson, 1954, Fisherville, Virginia 542 pages    The best source of information on the Scotch-Irish of Augusta/Rockbridge Counties in Virginia.  Includes the Baptismal Records of the Rev. Craig.  In-depth study of the early families of the Shenandoah Valley. Castle's Woods: Frontier Virginia Settlement, 1769-1799, a thesis presented to the Faculty of the Department of History, East Tennessee State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of master of Arts, by James W. Hagy, 1966, 150 pages.    The most popular of the documents offered, this covers the families who settled in Russell county, Virginia when it was considered the frontier.  If your ancestors came through southwestern Virginia, this document is the history of your family.  Contains information on specific families as well as the farmers, speculators, artisans, and preachers who resided there.  Lots on the Indian battles that were a daily feature of life on the frontier.  Names like Russell, Walker, Porter, Cowan, Houston, Boone, Montgomery, Fraley, Thompson, Anderson, Kilgore, and 50 or so other "Scotch-Irish" families make this an invaluable resource for your family history. The Reverend Samuel Houston, V.D.M., by George West Diehl, 1970, McClure Publishing Co. 125 pages History of the early Virginia Presbyterians through the life of the Rev. Samuel Houston, kin to Sam Houston of Texas fame. The Stirling Merchant Gild and Life of John Cowane, founder of Cowane's Hospital in Stirling, by David B. Morris, Town Clerk, Stirling, Jamieson & Munro, LTD. 1919, 367pages. This is really two books in one.   The first part deals with the Gild. Laws, history, struggle with Unfreemen and with the Crafts, Administration, Merchandising, Conditions of entry, etc. and the second part which is about the life of John Cowane, Dean of the Gild and his contributions to it. Well there you have it.  The best documents I have found.  If you are interested in purchasing any of the above items (I would like to make copies for free but I can't) contact me at cscunc@aol.com for  details.

Sandra, Do you by any chance ( or any other Jones List member) have a Sallie Jones b. 1793 d.1826(?), dau of Isaac Jones in your Ky. Jones line? If so, you should show that she married a John Bailey. This is the Bailey/Jones/Foister line. If so I have info on this family. My maiden name is Jones, I am a Foister by marriage and so far do not have a Sallie Jones in my line of Jones'.

I have not done research in Kentucky and Illinois. Info obtained from Missouri Federal Census and Civil War pension papers (National Archives.) My Grandfather WILLIAM ALLEN JONES was born Jan. 26, 1861 (1862) in Blythdale, Harrison County, Missouri to parents WILLIAM and ELIZABETH A. (BRIDGES) JONES. He had one brother SAMUEL P. JONES born Dec. 29, 1859. In 1892 my grandfather WILLIAM ALLEN JONES went to California to Homestead Land and is registered at the Land Office in Marysville, California. My grandmother Annie E. Shaughnessey went to join him there and they were married February 13, 1895 in Woodland, Yolo County, California. My GGrandfather WILLIAM JONES served with the 35 Reg't Inf. Vols. in the Civil War. He enlisted August 31, 1862 in Eagleville, Missouri and mustered in September 28, 1862 at B.Bks, Missouri. He died February 21, 1863 at Helena, Arkansas of pneumonia. He was born in Illinois and is listed in the 1850 census with MARY JONES age 49 born in Kentucky and THOMAS JONES age 18 born in Illinois. I hope someone finds this interesting. Bea

Hello, Several of you have tantalizing information, but no hits yet. I need to look into this harder. Bea, Harrison County borders on Laclede County, in Missouri. So, if you could share your Harrison County Jones with us, maybe we can help each other. I do have relatives of other lines that migrated the same way -- Kentucky, to Illinois, to Missouri. Thanks, Melissa

Yolo County does not include Sacramento, but is just West of Sacramento County across the Sacramento River. Some towns in Yolo County are Davis and Woodland. Yolo County is mainly agricultural land --- except for the University of California Davis campus. Sandy in Sacramento

Hi, I'm real interested in your JONES and GERMAN line. Reason being, my g-grandmother was named Amanda German HEWGLEY and she married Marshal Pitts JONES in Wilson County TN ca 1864. They had a son named Samuel P. JONES who lived in Weakley County TN but I do not know any of his family. It is my believe that GERMAN was more likely than not a family name. I believe the same to be true of the PITTS name, as many families gave their children family surnames as middle names. Do you see any connection here?
