    1. [KYFAYETT] JONES, William and Lucy THOMPSON ca. 1800 KY
    2. Bill Jones
    3. I have been searching for quite some time for some sort of record concerning the marriage of William JONES and Lucy THOMPSON. The marriage would have taken place in about 1800, give or take 5 years. According to a biographical sketch of my 3rd g-grandfather, Harrison JONES, William and Lucy (his parents) were KY natives. I know that Lucy THOMPSON was born about 20 Oct 1784 possibly in VA. and died 20 Jul 1850 in Carroll Co., IN. William is another story. I do not have a birth date for him. According to Harrison JONES' bio, he would have died in approximately 1822. He reportedly went to New Orleans (without the family) and died there of yellow fever. I have not been able to locate any documentation of his death. During the period from about 1800 through 1814, the family was apparently back and forth between KY and OH. There first child, Resin (Rezin, Reason) V. JONES reported on a census that he was born in OH ( this would have been in 1805-6). The second child, Harrison was born 10 Jun 1812 in Maysville, Mason Co., KY (just across the river from OH). The third child, Angeline JONES reported having been born in OH. (4 Jul 1814). I would appreciate any help that anyone might be able to give about this family. I have been stuck at my 4th g-grandparents ( William and Lucy) for several years.
