    1. [Jones] Willis Jones of SC and Jones of Georgia
    2. I am looking for Willis Jones of SC who died in 1803. He was related to Lewis Jones and his wife Cherry as his testate papers are listed together with Lewis who was appointed his executor and died the same year. Willis was married to Rebecca Case. Rebecca had to flee SC when Willis died to avoid her children being given to neighbors. She fled on foot to family in NC with her children: John, Samuel, William, Joab and sister Rebecca. Sometime about 1810 they migrated to Georgia. Rebecca was to have died circa 1860 but was known only as the widow Jones. Samuel married Narcissa Tate and lived around Gilmer, William lived around Dahlonega, John was a circuit preacher and lived in White, Gilmer and north Georgia area and a brief period lived in Alabama where he gave a speech against the confederacy and was chased out of Alabama to Union in Tenn.
