What I know on this Jones family is this. Elizabeth JONES b. 1805 Wales 25 No 1854 Jackson Co OH buried Moriah Cemetery m. John GRIFFITHS b. 1799 Wales d. 8 Oct 1861 Jackson Co OH buried with Elizabeth J1: Robert J. GRIFFITHS b. 25 Sep 1823 Wales d. 12 Aug 1854 (?IN) J2: David J. GRIFFITHS b. 2 Mar 1825 Wales d. 24 May 1914 Jackson Co OH J3: Edward GRIFFITHS b. 25 Jul 1827 Wales d. 5 Feb 1870 Jackson Co OH J4: Mary GRIFFITHS b. 11 Dec 1829 Allegheny Co PA J5: Hannah Elizabeth (GRIFFITHS) Isaac b. 20 Jan 1833 Allegheny Co PA J6: Susanna GRIFFITHS b. 8 Oct 1835 Allegheny Co PA J7: Samuel GRIFFITHS b. 28 Apr 1840 Allegheny Co PA d. 22 Apr 1891 Oak Hill Jackson Co OH J8: Jon R. GRIFFITHS b. 20 Jul 1844 Oak Hill Jackson Co OH d. 3 Dec 1859 Jackson Co OH J9: Sarah Ann (GRIFFITHS) WILLIAMS b. 1 Feb 1847 I have info on the first three children and some of the others. I have info on J1's descendants, but believed he died in IN at an unknown location to date. Thomas J. JONES is possibly the brother or cousin to Elizabeth JONES. He was b. Wales abt 1808 if his age is correct on the 1880 US census for Jackson Co OH. Here he was living on the GRIFFITHS' farm with Elizabeth's grandson, Samuel Robert GRIFFITHS' and his family Now Thomas J. had two sons that I can verify. Robert J. JONES & John L. JONES Robert J. JONES had a son Robert J. JONES Jr. Both father and son went to Denver CO. I have a photo of Robert J. Jones Jr in the doorway of the Denver Post blding. I have sent this to the Denver site for anyone to see. I don't believe either men ever returned to OH, but am not certain on this. I know that when he photo was taken the price of coal was $3.75-$3.95 a ton. This may get me closer to a yr to search. John L. JONES served in the civil war and I have a 2 photos of him in his uniform one is signed. John L. went on to be a prosecuting attorney for Jackson Co OH. He may have been married briefly after the civil war. This is still also a rumor. I am told he is buried in Jackson Co. There may have been an Elizabeth JONES as a sister to these two men. It is believed a descendant of hers contacted a distant relative in CA a while bk. So if these sound familiar to anyone feel free to shout. I have a 4 cd set of compiled info on the family of John/Elizabeth (nee JONES) GRIFFITHS so far and would like to branch out past Elizabeth. I believe I have the marriage record for John/Elizabeth from Ruabon parish along with bapt records for their first three children. I believe Thomas J. JONES died abt 1892 in Jackson Co OH. I know his son John L. had a drinking problem and had to be cleaned up to attend his father's funeral. I have found several articles pertaining to John on films at the OHS in Col OH. Here's to hoping I find more relatives. ~pat (entwistle/gethen/hershberger) griffiths/jones~
