I do know that our Elizabeth (nee JONES) came to the US 1828. I am told by my husband that Thomas was here by at least 1850 but unsure when I am going to ck the census for Jackson Co and see if I can track him down prior to his living on the GRIFFITHS' farm. I do know some of her children ended up in KY as well as WV (but they would have been Griffiths). I am just beginning to find out abt her brother Thomas. I do know of the 2 sons and grandson. I was sent a message that said he had a daughter, Elizabeth as well. Sorry, not much help at this point. ~pat~ > -----Original Message----- > From: Rhonda Chesnutt [mailto:jchesnut30@msn.com] > Sent: Saturday, January 04, 2003 11:11 AM > To: JONES-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [Jones] Wales>OH>Denver poss Pitt > > > Pat- > When did this Jones family enter the US and did they send a > branch to KY? > > Rhonda > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Pat Jones" <riverrat1@erinet.com> > To: <JONES-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 8:45 PM > Subject: [Jones] Wales>OH>Denver poss Pitt > > > > Here is what I know: > > Thomas Jones had at least 2 sons Robert and John L.
