Hi All, My Jones line was a brick wall for YEARS! Mr. Sheldon Jones, and others have been very helpful in getting two more generations back. I am interested in everything.. not just dates but how they lived, and who they were. What made them who they were and how did they help shape who we are. Mr. Jones, it was hard for me to choose a cluster because, well, I just want to know it all. But, I choose C5 because I still would love to know more about my great great grandfather, Jesse Franklin Jones. I'd also love to know more about my great grandmother, Delphia Jones, as she grew up and was raising her family in the "Al Capone" days... and in Williamson County, Ill. One of her husbands lived through that massacre that happened there. She was tough, and a good person, but could kill if need be. I got to meet here when I was about 10 years old, and to this day it's not enough. The family doesn't speak of her, and in fact, I've been told to leave her lay. Anyways, here the names and dates I have so far, I hope I can hook up with someone who knows more about the family than I do. I'd love to see photos of any of the people.... I am willing to share all I have on Everyone! Hugs to all here, it's a great list!!! Peggy Rowe-Snyder (I got married, May 15th!!) Descendants of Andrew Jones Generation No. 1 1.
