Hi Joe, I am not absolutely sure about the name JASPER, the reference is from a newspaper article, which I will post on this list. It has a lot of mistakes in it, which gives me doubt. I was thinking that William J. Jones might be William Jasper Jones. I am interested in your William Jefferson Jones, did he have a daughter who married Corda or Cordelia? She was born in 1884 I think in Dallas Co. Family tradition says that Corda's father fought for the Union. Thank you for your reply! -Mark
