September 12, 2005 Monday afternoon Dotsicle, Thank you. That is a most helpful lead. I'm very appreciative. 1. Can you tell me how I might proceed in gathering more about Jefferson Jones origins in Cumberland County, NC without having to travel to the county seat there? Even if I could, I was unable to find him on the early census of Cumberland County, NC which I was able to borrow through my local public library-loan service here in Winston-Salem, NC. 2. I will be happy to share any info I've uncovered that might be helpful to you and/or the Jones family mentioned in your reply (the family of Laura Jones' brother-in-law). Would it be possible for me to e-mail this family directly, or otherwise leave address and the nature of my inquiry, through you?
