Hello Idalu. I came across your completed email. You certainly have done a wonderful job collecting your information. After 30+ years I would guess you have looked under all the rocks. Have you been able to identify which unit your Thomas Jones was enlisted? How you attempted to obtain his REV WAR service record? The DAR is a key resource, and you have listed his DAR #. Have you been able to locate your Thomas in the 1790 or 1800 census? If so, you can often find him by the lists of children through their age ranges, but not by name. If you are able to do this, you will have a census number. This would allow you a way to identify neighbors of Thomas. The neighbors were often family members and you might be able to link to a family group. It is of interest to me that you have recorded he was married in England after our Revolution? It would seem a little unusual that the old "mother country" would tie any knots with their rebellious children! You also identify Thomas as a "Whig". This was the "party of the people" and had much support around London, central and eastern England. You might try and research the Whig party in early GA to see if there is any connection to other JONES families. You also have Thomas dying in Columbia Co., GA. I would check with their local library and see if you can find the dates of the first newspapers for this area. They have obituaries published, and may record the death of your Thomas. Hope this is helpful. Jerry, The Jones Genealogist.
