When I first say this, I thought to myself that someone had spelled my brother's middle name wrong. His name is James Alford and my father's name was Edward Alfred. My Jones ancestor was Humphrey Jones, born in North Carolina, possibly Martin County, 1800-1805. He moved to Dyer County, Tn. 1837-1840. Ron Jones - born and raised in Crockett County, Tn.

Just wait 'til after the holidays and folks get new computers and geneo programs. Looking for the parents of James ALfred Jones, b22 Feb 1832, Bulloch Co,Ga, died 29 Dec 1881, Manatee Co, Fl.

They married 24 Aug 1854 at Wekiva, Orange Co, Fl though some find it to be registered in Polk Co, Fl.
