haven't been on the list in awhile and thought I'd see if there might be anything new on Granddaddy Samuel Jesse Jones, born 1769 in Laurens/Newberry SC. I am looking to "flesh" out my Jones line. Particularly JOHN JONES, b Feb. 27, 1792 in Laurens Co, SC. He married Esther Dalrymple (or Easter as shown on some docs)- b 1801. they had the following children: Eleanor Francis Jones Martha Susan Jones Rachel Jones Louis M. (Lewis) Jones b 1826 (my ancestor) Hillary Jones 1833 (am assuming this is a male as Louis names a son Hillary C Jones) Sarah Ann Rebecca Jones b 1844 the Jones family is documented to some extent thru the DALRYMPLE connection. I am hoping that some of the JONES family has done more and is willing to share. I do have children's names and birthdates but would like to know more about the Jones family and their lives. Do we have any Civil War soldiers? Any WW I or WW 2 service men? Were they farmers or business people? I am the 5th great-granddaughter of Samuel Jesse. Sandy -- Me Elbert -- Father Furman -- Grand John D -- GGF m'd Bessie Irene Bearden Hillary C -- GGGF m'd Louisa Elizabeth Brewer Louis M (Lewis) GGGGF m'd Lettie E Rice John GGGGGF m'd Esther/Easter Dalrmple Samuel Jesse GGGGGGF m'd Rebecca Dalrmple if I have all that right.. Hopefully this isn't too disjointed and you are able to understand it.. I'm still working on my queries.. Thanks lots and Merry Christmas Sandy Jones Hamilton ps.. Any HAMILTON connections for the upstate of SC can reply as well..
