    3. For all these years I have only seen that John Lawrence Jones, who m. Lucy Taliaferro, daughter of Revolutionary Soldier Dr. John Taliaferro and Mary Hardin, was most likely born in Surry County, NC. A researcher has found a reference to the couple in the Taliaferro section of The McCubbins Collection from the Rowan County, NC Library that named the husband of Lucy Taliaferro as John Lawrence Jones "of Morgan (District?), Wilkes County." The McCubbins Collection is a collection of 76 reels of surname based research by Mamie Elizabeth Gaskell McCubbins, 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. Checking further in Wilkes County, NC, the 1790 census of Wilkes County, NC has Jno L. Jones 1 male over 16, 4 males under 16 and 2 females. Does anyone have any knowledge of whether or not John Lawrence Jones who died in Wilkinson County, GA in 1830 might have been in Wilkes County, NC? Thanks. W. Chris Jones Roswell, GA
