Dorothy, do you know where in VA and NC they lived? My Jones line ... Freeman Jones b. 1763 in Brunswick Co, VA. He, his mother, and his siblings moved to Rutherford Co NC after his father was killed early in the War, by Tories. There were numerous Jones [males] that fought in the Rev. war, including my Freeman. After the war, land was given to those that fought a certain amount of time, mostly in KY and TN. So far, I have been unable to give Freeman's mother and father a given name. Hugs, d. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dorothy McCarns To: jones@rootsweb.com Sent: 27 June, 2007 5:24 PM Subject: Re: [JONES] Jones families of Hancock co, Tn Our Jones family was in Haywood Co, and Lauderdale Co., TN in 1848 for sure when William Carnall/Carroll Jones married Nancy Ann Lankford. Got their license in Lauderdale but don't know yet where it was filed, but they did get married. Their sons were William, John and James Lafayette Jones. James is my great grandfather. He was born in 1853 in TN, married at least 3 times, and had six children all together. His children with first wife Lottie Bridges: Mary Ann and John. Child with second wife, Hannah Ella French: Louie Burl Jones, my grandfather. Children after that with 3rd (and maybe 4th wife?), name(s) unknown: Viola Lee, Bird E., and James E. I have some records on the children, but need to know who William Carnall/Carroll Jones' parents were, and how do they connect to William Jones of VA/NC? I have found info on William of VA/NC and his children but I am missing the connecting families. Two brick walls on this one family!

Susi ~ Indeed I did... one of the first things! I've been researching my Jones' since 1985. Lots of info... but woe is me, I've been so un-successful... me and probably 20-50 others, through the years. One day....

It is so nice to see all the activity on this list, to bad I don't seem to match. I have two lines, the first: Mary Ann Jones born 13-15 Apr 1918 in Memphis, Shelby, Tenn., she died 5 Apr 1905 in Raymond, Alberta, Canada. She married Fields B Jacaway abt 1833 in Missouri.

We can't give up yet! I am seeing lots of possible matches for the in-betweens of my Jones line, and at least it gives me another place to look. I appreciate everyone listing their Jones lines! Dorothy

SILAS JONES IS A NEW ENGLAND JONES NAME. this is a very large line if ever put all together Melanie has a great site with some data on it. She is under rootsweb.com. When I first read this thought maybe from the JONES I flirting with in Greene CO PA. But Silas JONES SR family did migrate (some ) south ie his siblings 1730's.

I will again add my JONES ancestors to the mix and hope someone can help me. JOHN JONES, b. abt 1743, Wales or Uwchlan, Chester Co., PA, or NC (?); d. 12 Oct 1796, Edgefield Co., SC; m. MARGARET BENSON (b. 13 Jun 1751, Goshen, Chester Co., PA; d. 19 Sep 1794, Edgefield Co., SC) 1 May 1771 in Philadelphia, PA. Children: Jane (b. 11 Jan 1772; d. 25 Sep 1777); William (b. 28 Nov 1774; d. 27 Sep 1777); David (b. 7 Jan 1778; d. abt 1780); William (b. 28 Feb 1780; d. 28 Feb 1791); Sarah (b. 8 Jan 1782; d. 30 Mar 1783); David (b. 19 Dec 1783; d. 18 Jan 1845); Jonathan Shelby (b. 19 Dec 1783; d. 23 Jul 1833); Elisha (b. 19 Jan 1786; d. 7 Sep 1840); ELIJAH (my ancestor) (b. 19 Jan 1786, Edgefield Co., SC; d. 21 Feb 1817, Newberry Co., SC); Benson (b. 3 Jan 1788; d. 17 Sep 1834); Susannah (b. 10 Oct 1789; d. 11 Sep 1859); and John, Jr. (b. 19 Feb 1792; d. 8 Sep 1842). ELIJAH JONES m. ANNE MILES (b. 18 Oct 1786, Newberry Co., SC; d. 10 Dec 1824, Newberry Co., SC) 12 Oct 1806.

Does anybody have any information on John and Margaret, their parents, their siblings, and Elijah? John is listed in the Roster of SC Patriots in the American Revolution. Elijah served in the War of 1812, stationed at Camp Alston. I have been searching and trying to document for several years with little luck; it has become my brick wall! Willene

Jack, I don't know his (William's) wife's name yet, but his children are Henry, John, Charles, Joane (married a Lysle), Elizabeth (can't find notes on her marriage), Dorothy (married a Spiers). I recently went to Salisbury, NC and did research in the library there, the archives is closed for renovation, and found a lot of information on Jones' and a lot that I know is my line, but I am still putting it all together. Since we brought our granddaughters home with us for the summer, it is slow going on the research. Since my dad is 86 I do want to get this done as soon as possible and try to see where the family's memories come from. So far I am not finding that connection in facts either. Hope this makes sense. I'll post more later, time to take Dad to the doctor and other important stuff of life! Dorothy
