Pat, Thank you for the information on James Clayborn Jones. I am not for sure what relation he is to my Elijah Luster Jones but my Great Uncle and Great Aunt have just mentioned him to me recently. The Jones line has been a brick wall of mine for a very long time. I was thinking if I started with Claib Jones and come down the tree then maybe I might see a familiar name, County, etc. I think I am remembering that he was an Uncle or something to that effect, so I think I would have to start with John Jones and Rebecca Arnold. About this time in my search I am pretty much willing to study any one's Jones line. Thank you all for taking the time to do the Roll call. I was told recently by my Great Aunt Jewell Jones that the Letcher County Historical Society had a book on Claib Jones. Would any happen to know how to get this book?

My father John Jones was born and reared in Hawkins County Tennessee, coming to Floyd County when he was about 20 years old, marrying my mother , Miss Rebecca Arnold, who was born in Tazwell, Va. Shortly after I was born my parents moved down Beaver about fifteen miles and settled on a small creek, named Jones's Fork, in honor of my father, who was one of the pioneer settlers in that section. This is from the "autobiography of OLD CLAIB JONES. Claib is buried here in Hazard.
