I have been researching some Jones lines into Missouri. I found two of my missing Jones boys, Thomas and James B. Jones in Dallas Co. Missouri on the 1850 Census. Here is my question. On the census James Jones occupation is listed as High Sheriff. Can anyone tell me what that is? In regard to the office is that just what they called the Sheriff of the County at the time or was he Sheriff over a larger area than just Dallas County? Thanks Nancy M.
