I am looking for a brother of John C. Jones born 1800. In the family bible and letters from the early 1800's, letters were written to born 1796. there are letters from brothers Samuel , William, Joab and sister Elizabeth. Joab Jones was a surveyer and might have lived in another State. The above were born in SC. Thier parents were Willis JOnes and Rebecca Case. William died in SC in 1804. They moved to family in NC and migrated to Georgia prior to 1819. This Jones branch of Georgia were called the Chestetee Jones, as they crossed the Chestetee River to come to Georgia. The other Jones in Georgia at that time were the Cane Break Jones as this is the settlement they came from. In the early 1800's this is how they identified themselves in records. Rebecca Case Jones lived to be almost 100 and died Sept. 7, 1870 and died in Gilmer County, Georgia. She was known only in her later years as the Widow Jones. Samuel Jones married NArcissa Tate. He was famous for his services in the Revolutionary war and in his DAR file a copy of Samuel Jones's bible was presented to show birthdates and children. It lists Willis as his father. A close relationship between Willis Jones of SC and Lewis Jones of SC according to the estate. I dont know the relationship. Lewis was married to Cherry (Chastity) Jones and died in 1805. Nancy
