Dear Pat, I will get to you in a day or so but I must get out my third cousin's Jones records and then get with her. My great great grandmother was a Jones in Wales She married a Thomas Bound son of John son of Benjamin son of Thomas of Alltlwyd Farm (about 1795. in Llandinam, Montgomeryshire or now Powys. Mary Jones was born July 17, 1822 (g.g. grandmother in St. Harmon, Radnorshire, Wales, daughter of Joseph Jones. I don't know past that of her ancestors and and am tiedup with other family right now to look. They had the following children which were: Joseph: b. 1823 Thomas b. 1825 died in Wales in 1905 John b. 1830 d. in Wales in 1905 Sarah Bound b. 1833 Margaret Bound b. 1840 nothing known after the birth of daughter Mary Ann Ann Bound b. 1845 Graigfach Landinam, Montgomeryshire, Wales. d. Oct. 3, 1931 in Seney, Iowa a small town in N. West Iowa. She was married to Edward J. Rees. Does any of this information make any connections. The rest of the JOnes ( alarge family immigrated to Canada and there are other records).

Wales & Elizabeth JONES b. 1805 Wales. This couple had three sons prior to coming to the US. G1 Robert GRIFFITHS b. 25 Sep 1823 Wales d. 1853-1854 buried ? m.

(could be FENTON JONES) b. 8 Dec 1876 WV G113 Guy JONES b. 25 Jun 1882 WV G114 Jesse JONES b. 21 Sep 1889 WV G2 David J. GRIFFITHS b. 2 Mar 1825 Wales d. 24 May 1914 Madison Twp Jackson Co OH buried Moriah Cemetery Jackson Co OH (MY HUSBAND'S LINE) G3 Edward GRIFFITHS b. 25 Jun. 1827 Wales d. 5 Feb 1870 Madison Twp Jackson Co OH buried Moriah Cemetery Jackson Co OH Robert was the oldest sibling and there were more born here in the US upon their arrival from Wales. I have most of David J. line since it is my husband's line. Edward married the sister of David J. David J. had one son and Edward had a large family. Edward died young forcing his family to be separated. Some lived with David on the GRIFFITHS farm in Jackson Co OH, some remained with their mother in Cin and still others were sent with others. There more sibling born here in the US in PA as well as in Jackson Co OH. Most family members are buried at Moriah Cemetery. I know that three women from this family (don't know who though) us to visit the farm. This occurred even in the day of my mother-in-law. She told my husband of these visits. I am guessing, but I would guess the three Baldwin daughters. My mother-in-law b. 1901 Jackson Co OH d. 1990 Jackson Co OH. I think I finally found this family's origins in Wales and will work on that. I would like to find some of Robert's line. I did find the 1900 Fed WV St. Albans census listing for Minnie's family. I also believe I found Robert & Susannah (nee GRIFFITHS) JONES. There are only 2 things that I need to clear up on this couple. I have the first child as Kent JONES and the census states a Fenton Jones. Someone may have made an error on our record keeping. The nxt would be that Susie JONES is listed as being b. in IN while on Minnie her mother is listed as being b. WV. We only really know that they were believed to be in the St Albans area and that is where I found these people on the 1900 census. Oh how I hope someone knows a line of this family and can let them know we are looking for them. I have met numerous family that had no clue as to their history and we have really enjoyed learning various things about the family members both gone and living.
