I too am delighted with the action on this list and I would like to receive the e-book posting. However I would request that all of us send our Jones obituaries so that they may be added to the e-book. My brick wall is James A. Jones who was born 11 October 1831 in Hume, Allegheny Co., NY (according to LDS records only) and married Clarissa Hale b. 10 Oct 1836 in Warsaw, Wyoming Co., NY daughter of Philander Hale and Clarissa Hatch Hale. In 1850 census James appears as a 19 year old farm worker on Philander's farm and in 1860 Clarissa Jones is in her fathers home with Children Ida Jones born in 1854 and Francis born 1857. James is not listed and I have not found him elsewhere to be sure. He died 14 Nov 1866 supposedly in Buffalo, but is buried beside his son Francis (d. 29 Mar 1867) in the Hale plot in Warsaw Cemetery. In WNY News for 22 Nov 1866 the following death notice appeared: "JONES Nov 14, Mr. James Jones - aged 36 years." The marriage is also mentioned in Andrew Young "The History of the town of Warsaw, NY, c. 1869, page 276 in the biographical sketch of Caleb Hatch. I have no other information and there are no surviving males in this line. I have tried to find his parents but there are many possible Joneses as you all know. > *************************************
