Marleen, There was supposed to have been an 1835 Will written by Ned Jones in Buck Horn creek , NC. But I haven't been able to find it. Buck Horn Creek goes through about 6 counties so each of the county offices would have to be searched. Do you happen to know if there is a Will in the Buckatuna Creek area that might be of help? Where is BUCKATUNA CREEK?/ Original message: " James Jones and Mary [Unknown] who were living in North Carolina between 1795 and 1803. This couple moved from North Carolina between 1803 and 1805." That part would fit right in as they could have been moving more south-- or traveling through TEnn-- as our Wiley E. lists his birthplace as Tenn in Feb. 1804. Wiley E. Jones lists under birthplace in a later census that his father was from NC and his mother from Germany. So if you look at the last census you can find James- it might say where his mother and father were from. The family story is that Wiley E.'s father may have been called Ned-- which is the nickname for Edward. His brother may have been called J.J. -- The dates etc. fit well -- the only problem is we don't have any James in his children-- his family is listed below See if you have any of these unusual names.
