He married Annia Coleman Jan 01,1804 in Lincoln Co. He was one of first Surveyors of Casey Co., Ky. (organized 1806) from Lincoln. He became a Baptist Minister. Would anyone know who their children were? Jenny Oldham jloldham@vvm.com
Jenny, A quick search of RootsWeb (Casey Co.) this morning did not find the names of the children of John Jones and Annia Coleman. Census records didn't help either as names of children did not appear until 1850. Earlier census records of Casey County show a John Jones back to 1810 but little else. Gladys Thomas' Casey County, Kentucky 1806-1983 list your John Jones buried in the Antioch Cemetery which is about eight miles south of Liberty. The following individuals are listed: JONES, Elizabeth, 1876-1958 JONES, James D., 1870-1958 JONES, John , 1771-1865 JONES, William Palmer, 1898-1950 JONES, William, -1833 ³The cemetery next to the Antioch Christian Church is divided into two parts. The portion immediately in front of the church building is known as the Jones Graveyard. It has three graves marked. Others are believed to be there too. The top of two of the graves are covered with rock slabs and bear the following: Jones, William, __ 1833 John S, 1771-1865 (Elder in C.C. [my note, ³Christian Church²] This is the John Jones who first surveyed the county. Perhaps the S¹ after the name stands for Surveyor.² I hope this helps.
