Hi! Pamela: In 1816, Henderson Co., KY, William Jones m. Nancy Ann Sanner (daughter of Isaac & Nancy Ann Sanner). The Sanner family came to Henderson Co., KY from St. Mary's Co., MD ca 1809/10 with a brief stop in Frankfort, KY. I think that William Jones was also from MD. Isaac Sanner was a pilot on the Chesapeake, etc. around St.Mary's Co., MD and there was also a William Jones, Pilot. In Henderson Co., KY there was a Thomas Jones and a Hampton Jones in this time frame of 1810 to 1839 when our Jones family left KY for ARK, Yell Co. Nancy Ann Sanner's sister, Lavinia, m. Frances Cosby and her brother, Thomas Sanner, m. Nancy Collins. I am trying to find out if William Jones' father was a William also. They owned land in Henderson Co. and there was a William Jones, Sr. who had land and then in 1816 when our William married, he appeared on rolls as head of household and as William, Jr. Later William Jr. bought land also. In 1839 when William & Nancy and many children leave, did William Sr. die as he did not show up in ARK. William Jr. died in 1846 in Yell Co., ARK. Any info you can find would be greatly appreciated. I have visited the state archives but have not been able to answer these questions. Thanks: Betty "Pamela K.
