Jones, who you said your records indicate is the father of Naomi Elizabeth Jones: "Hezekiah Decatur SHULTS born about 1838. He married America Ann JONES. America was the daughter of James JONES and Elizabeth JONES. According to family information, they were not related. James JONES was the son of Jacob JONES and Elizabeth CUMMINGS. America was supposedly 1/4 Cherokee. America died about 1875." I can find where America Ann Jones was born in 1837 and, of course, Naomi Elizabeth Jones was born in 1832. There is noted in the Anderson family geneology that Nancy may *not* have been the correct name of James Jones' wife. Elizabeth Jones comes up far more often as his wife than does Nancy Jane Jones. I am now wondering if either (a) Elizabeth was his first wife, perhaps (since there are 5 years between the birth of Naomi and America); or, (b) if Elizabeth could have been one and the same as Nancy Jane? I have found nothing that indicates he was married twice. Also, nothing I find indicates that Naomi Elizabeth Jones had any siblings, yet there is America Ann Jones who has been traced to the same parents. Any thoughts or information on this? Thank you, again, for anything you may be able to offer. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
