I am interested in the Jones family who lived there about the same time. My ancestor was Polly Jones and she married Valentine Leonard in Maysville 2/27/1793. Consent was given by a George Jones (likely her father) but I haven't found any informaton on him so far. Valentine Leonard was held captive by the Indians from 1785-1788. His parents were John Peter Leonard and Barbara Hege: both were killed by Indians in Mason Co. in 1785. They immigrated with Boone from Rowan Co., NC. I see that you are researching Jones families in the area--do you anything of this family? Thanks for your time---ERIC
