Hi fellow Jones researchers: I'm seeking info on Abraham JONES b. say 1740s? Was in NC until abt. 1779. Apparently came with Robertson party to Davidson Co., TN. Wife's name was KEZIAH, nee unknown. They probably married in NC as that is where children were born. Abraham was killed in "defense of the fort" around 1782. Known children are: 1. Shadrack JONES, b. 6 Sept 1776 in NC m. Celia DOWLEN on 5 Apr 1803 in Davidson Co., TN 2. Elizabeth Betsy JONES, b. abt. 1778?, in NC m. Thomas WATTS on 27 Sept 1807 in Davidson Co., TN Keziah, widow of Abraham, had an illegitimate son by Isaac MAYFIELD and named him Isaac MAYFIELD in 1783. (Proven by court records in Davidson Co., TN). Keziah remarried to a Mr. BERRY by at least 1792 and had these children: Annie BERRY, Mary Polly BERRY, Keziah BERRY and Nellie BERRY. Keziah died in Davidson Co., TN around 1804. Shadrack JONES, as heir of Abraham JONES, was granted 640 acres because Abraham was killed in defense of the fort. This grant entered on 27 Jul 1784 and was issued on 27 Jun 1784, (apparently when Shadrack turned of age to inherit it). Wish to know where Abraham and Keziah lived in NC..... when and where both were born......... parents and/or siblings of both. Also wish to correspond with other descendants and/or relations. I know I'm asking for a lot! Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks, Judy Lee Watts
