Lassiter. The information stated that his full name was Jesse Crawford Lassiter and his parent were supposedly Harmon Lassiter and Nancy Rainwater. This information is not proven in any way. I am wondering if anyone has any information on Harmon Lassiter. Nancy Rainwater has came up several different times in my research, but she is always married to a different person! I am hoping someone might be able to help me clear this up and to provide written documentation on Harmon Lassiter, Jesse Crawford Lassiter, and Nancy Rainwater. Thank you in advance.

Only thing I see is: W J Pierce & Rebecca Cameron 24 Nov 1889 Randolph . Nola

I was wondering if someone would do a marriage record lookup for me. I have a lot of information on Eli E. Pierce, born abt. 1815. I have the census records for Eli Pierce and Anna Nance and their families who were living in Randolph Co., NC from about 1850 to 1880. Eli had seven sons during that time. He had a son William J. Pierce, born abt. 1851. In 1870 William J. Pierce was in Eli's household and in 1880 he was not. So I think William J. got married between 1870 and 1880. I have a list of Randolph Co. marriages before 1867 but nothing between 1868 and 1885. My request is to see if someone had the marriage records and find out who William J. Pierce married and the date. I can't find him on a census for 1880 if anyone has any records I would appreciate it. Thanks, Martha Hicks Pierce e-mail: marthapierce@classicnet.net

I think that to study the Jones family of Randolph Co you need to look to western Chatham Co.I have followed the residents of this area for a while and the Jones family lived in Spotsylvania and Culpeper Co's Va along with many of the families that are found in the area of brush creek in western Chatham Co . very near sandy creek the names all interconnect . a jones married a Bray and is found in the will of old Henry circa 1790. a Bray married a Poe , Poe is found in Va with Jones family .on one document I found about 8 names in Chatham that had prviously been in Culpeper Co Va including the name Jones .I would bet that your Jones is descended from these Jones of culpeper Co. also Spotsylvania Co .Va . ----- Original Message ----- From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: <NCRANDOL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 11:48 PM Subject: Re: [NCRANDOL] Thomas Jones/Anna Neely > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: JONES, NEELY > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.randolph/1291.2.1/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > Hi Peggy - Below is everything I have on the descendants of Thomas Jones & > Ann Neely.

He owned some fifteen hundred acres ranging along the > Randolph-Guilford County line on the waters of Sandy Creek, Stinking > Quarter, and Alamance Creek. By the time of his death he also owned ten > slaves. Their names were given in his estate sale (c. 1817). Rose and > Abram were sold to Jacob Greeson.

A girl Celia > was sold to Hardy Ward, a man Peter to Anna Jones, a boy Willis to Daniel > Shofner, a boy Joe to Lewis Clapp, and a boy Daniel to Aaron Jones. The > slave Daniel would later be identified by Isaac Routh as being one of the > lovers of his estranged and soon-to-be divorced wife, Lillie Cude Routh. > Peter Jones, on the other hand, would earn the favor of his white owners. > In the fall of 1821, the Widow Jones petitioned the Superior Court of > Randolph for his emancipation, "in conside! > ration of the good character the said negro Peter has always sustained and > the long faithful and meritorious services he has rendered to your > petitioner and her late husband." The court readily granted Peter, then > about forty years old, his freedom.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: JONES, NEELY Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.randolph/1291.2.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hi Peggy - Below is everything I have on the descendants of Thomas Jones & Ann Neely. They had a son named Samuel but he was born in 1777 not 1877. Not sure if he is the same Samuel you are researching. Thomas was Welch. Hope this helps. Rick Ford Descendants of Thomas JONES Generation No. 1 1. Thomas1 JONES was born 01 Jan 1751/52 in Wales, and died 1817 in Randolph County, North Carolina. He married Anna Jean NEELY Bet. 1765 - 1769, daughter of James NEELY and Sarah. She was born Bef. 1755. Notes for Thomas JONES: Thomas Jones seems to rise up out of a dawntide mist, with no discernible past. This elusiveness is due to the multitude of "Thomas Joneses" living in every quarter of the colonies in the 18th century. But the story which prevailed in the family may give some clues. As his grandchildren would have it, Old Thomas was a Welshman, a younger son by a second wife in a respectable family. Like the Biblical Joseph, he was the object of an older brother's envy. Born to an aging, moneyed father, he became the family darling, much to the chagrin of his siblings. As the old man grew weaker, the older brother saw his chance. He hired a ship's captain to impress young Tom and carry him off to the western seas. This was how, the Jones relations swore, the first Thomas Jones came to America. Penniless and alone, he made his own way in the world. He came to the Sandy Creek district of what is now Northern Randolph County and may have participated in the Regulation. The family hol! ds that without a doubt, he also cast his lot with the Patriots in the Revolution. But, as with everything about this old Welsh gentleman, the evidence is hard to pin down. What we do know is that he very quickly began to amass wealth in his new environment. He owned some fifteen hundred acres ranging along the Randolph-Guilford County line on the waters of Sandy Creek, Stinking Quarter, and Alamance Creek. By the time of his death he also owned ten slaves. Their names were given in his estate sale (c. 1817). Rose and Abram were sold to Jacob Greeson. They were doubtless an aging couple at the time and parents or grandparents of some of the others. A girl Celia was sold to Hardy Ward, a man Peter to Anna Jones, a boy Willis to Daniel Shofner, a boy Joe to Lewis Clapp, and a boy Daniel to Aaron Jones. The slave Daniel would later be identified by Isaac Routh as being one of the lovers of his estranged and soon-to-be divorced wife, Lillie Cude Routh. Peter Jones, on the other hand, would earn the favor of his white owners. In the fall of 1821, the Widow Jones petitioned the Superior Court of Randolph for his emancipation, "in conside! ration of the good character the said negro Peter has always sustained and the long faithful and meritorious services he has rendered to your petitioner and her late husband." The court readily granted Peter, then about forty years old, his freedom. The girl Candis was sold to Thomas Jones the Younger, a boy Emsley to Eli Jones, and the girl Lucinda to Anna Jones. A few other facts may be discerned about old Thomas from his estate sale, held upon his death in 1817. First of all, it is clear that he was a literate man and was able to do far more than simply scrawl his signature. He kept two pair of spectacles and among his personal items was a dictionary, a spelling book, a Bible, a prayer book, a hymnal, a testament and two unnamed books. Might the prayer book indicate an early affiliation in Thomas' life with the Anglican and Episcopal Church? Education was certainly key to Thomas' advancement in life and he evidently tried to pass this advantage on to his sons, although his daughters all seem to have been illiterate. One son, Aaron Jones of the Grays Chapel Community, had about twenty-four other books, in addition to his Bible in his 1852 estate sale. A wide range of economic activities is also betrayed by the list of possessions. Thomas Jones owned a wide array of woodworking tools - including axes, saw, chains, awls, chisels and planes - along with a considerable quantity of shingles, planks, hoops, and something called a "cooper's cross." He kept a considerable flock of sheep, some cattle and hogs, and had among his possessions many pairs of wool cards, a spinning wheel and a loom, along with numerous pairs of shears, sets of buttons and a box of sewing needles. In addition to the usual assortment of agricultural equipment and stores of corn, barley, and tobacco, Jones also had a set of smith's tools with all the paraphernalia of the forge and a dozen horseshoes. It seems likely that Jones' large complement of children worked side-by-side with the black folk on his plantation to earn money any way they could - in metallurgy, in agriculture, perhaps as sawyers, coopers, seamstresses, and weavers, as well. Buried in this interminable sales list there is also the occasional item which surprises the researcher. One of Old Tom's luxury items was a decanter and two glasses which he probably kept filled from the seven gallons of whiskey secured in his storehouse. Doubtless he used this to entertain his more honored guests. Jones also owned a mousetrap - and, a great rarity for the time and place, an umbrella. One of his beds with furnishings, was purchased by son Solomon Jones for $49. It must have been a fine piece of work to have fetched such a price. But perhaps the most suggestive of his possessions had no monetary value at all. It was a "conk shell," purchased by son Aaron Jones along with the family Bible and a pair of the old man's spectacles. No doubt, this shell was the only relic the Welshman had preserved form his seafaring days. Perhaps by raising the shell to his ear, he could momentarily recall the crashing waves, when he, a terrified boy, had been separated ! from everything familiar by a brother's greed. Then we can almost see him smile as he compared that picture to his secure position as a respectable member of his community, surrounded by a new family, and sheltered from want by the industry of his sons and slaves.

Marriage Notes for Thomas JONES and Anna NEELY: Old Thomas Jones may have contributed further to his wealth by making an advantageous marriage. He took a wife named Anna sometime late in the 1760's. It is difficult to know just who this Anna was. No marriage bond survives. A clue might be provided in the will of Robert Neeley, who died at his home on the headwaters of Alamance Creek in 1787. Robert was a relatively young man with small children at the time of his death. He named his wife, Martha, one of his executors, along with William Dickey and Thomas Jones. It is just possible that Thomas Jones was Robert Neeley's brother-in-law. If so, that would make Anna Jones the daughter of James Neely, Sr. (d. 10 Feb 1779) and his wife Sarah (d. 8 Mar 1783), for whom Robert Neely ordered tombstones erected at Alamance Meeting House within the body of his will.

She married John MILLER. 10 ix. Mary Ann JONES, born 1789; died 1881. She married Hardy WARD. 11 x. Eli JONES, born Bet. 1791 - 1794. Generation No. 2 7. Lewis2 JONES (Thomas1) was born 1778 in North Carolina, and died Bet. 1850 - 1860 in Randolph County, North Carolina. He married Elizabeth ALEXANDER 13 Jan 1828 in Orange County, North Carolina. She was born 1791 in North Carolina, and died Aft. 1860. Notes for Elizabeth ALEXANDER: Elizabeth was listed as a household member living with Lewis Jones in the 1850 census in the Northern Division, Randolph County. Apparently Lewis died before 1860 as she is listed as a household member living with her son, Mountiville Thomas Jones, in the 1860 census in Franklinville, NC.

It sounds like the same person in your tree. I am trying to find out his parents. I think they may be Thomas Jones and Anna Neely. My father always told me they were Welsh so I had thought his parents were from Wales. It didn't occur to me that they could be born in the US. However, this might be the same person...?Peggy

Savannah, My g-grandfather was Samuel Staley who married Elizabeth Bech in Davidson Co., NC on 10-28-1866. He died 2-21-1921 in Troy, NC (Montgomery County) at the age of 73, but I have been able to find nithing about his birth. The handwritten death listing in Montgomery Co. lists his father as "George", but that's as far as I've gotten. I assume that he was born in 1847 or 1848. I did receive information once that a Samuel Staley born to Uriah Staley in 1849, but I can't seem to locate that e-mail now. My grandfather Staley (Samuel's son) died in 1925 and my mother's family gradually lost touch with most of that side of the family. Do you have any information on Samuel? Thanks.
