I can't put together a connection but it is interesting that there is some other Jones's not so far away. Laurens and Newberry are not that far apart (certainly by today's standards) so it is possible. Parental info for John Jones and his wife Margaret Benson? Perhaps a brother to my Samuel. Of course John didn't name any sons w/ Samuel. The first son (that I know of) for Samuel and Rebecca is John, born 2/27/1792. Other John's do follow in later generations. It is possible.. Is there a Irish or Scotch link?
