He was b. 1812/3/5 in NC. He was in MO in 1835 or 37, as his first child is born in MO. Unfortunately, I dont' know which co. He was in Taney in 1850. The Hezekiah JONES in 1840 Callaway Co does not fit the bill (I *think* he was the only Hez. in MO in 1840....I need to double check that). Who is Daniel? <<Did I mention Jabes Jones???? <giggle> Talk about trying to keep up with the Jones!!!>> Is he the J. Jones in 1850 Taney in Swan Twp? I ran out of time at the FHC. I copied Hez. Jones in the 1850 Taney in Swan, but didn't have time to find J.Jones. The FHC was closing :( Cheri Mello
