I would like to know who it was named after also... I am a Jones and my family settled in the Jonesborough, Walnut, Tiplersville area. Jonesborough was a settlement that finally went extinct. On the Tippah County GenWeb site there is a picture of the area. Jennifer Bone

Don't know about Jonesborough but will be interested to hear what others know. I am related to Susannah G. Jones (1816-1889), my ggg-grandmother. She married my ggg-grandfather Ezekiel Graham and they had 12 children. Her parents were Oakley Jones and Susannah Hamilton. Susannah Ezekiel lived in Tippah Co., he had bought a farm near Walnut, MS. Are any of these Jones' related? Lois Graham Moran
