    1. Re: Jones VA ---> KY (Knox Co.)
    2. Hello BarBara. A good place to start may be a reference called: Pioneer Families of Eastern and Southeastern Kentucky, by William Kozee, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. 1980. Chapter III describes the early settlement of Knox Co., KY. It abstracts the 1810 Census, listing both Arthurs and Jones families. There are two John Joneses. I would use this 1810 census to locate a census tract number. I would find the Arthurs and Jones families that are near one another, since the census taker had to record the day's work within a set time period, he would number each family. The cluster of numbers with similar units would mean the families were within walking or riding distance to one another. This should help separate the JONES groups using Maiden Names. Also you will get a sense of approximate ages, and number of children, etc. I call this "cluster group analysis" based upon geographic and historical context. Jerry. The Jones Genealogist.
