Can someone tell me if Blair Jones of Pell City, AL wrote a book on the Hardy Jones family of NC? Blair was apparently a son of Hardy III Jones and was in touch with Mamie Elizabeth Gaskell McCubbins. She was the wife of a circuit judge in North Carolina in the late 1800s and early 1900s. She had a passion for genealogical research, and as she traveled with her husband on his rounds, she would research families and North Carolina history in the courthouses and communities she visited and did surname cataloging in the Rowan Public Library in Salisbury, NC.
