Joyce, Concerrning your Jones/Hawkins connection. There may not be a connection here but I have been trying desperately to find information on my great great grandfather, Wyatt Hawkins Jones, born 1822 in NC and settled and reared a family in Marshall Co., MS. I received some information that his father may have been John Hawkins Jones (from KY at one time) and a possible brother named James Jones. The info states that James was born in 1801 and that seems a little long between children to me especially when there were additional siblings (about 5) after Wyatt. My inclination is to believe James was his father and that John was the father of James. Wyatt named one of his sons James who was my great grandfather. I've not been able to get in touch with the person who posted that info in a message board about 3 years ago to find out where she got it. I said all of that just to ask you if you had any other Jones/Hawkins connections that may lead me somewhere with this. Still searching, Sandra
