Hello to all, I want to put this information in front of you and see if anyone can prove or disprove my theory. >From the 1850 Graves Co, Kentucky Census Fam 546 Stark family Fam 547 Stark family Fam 548 JONES, Frances L. 27 f SC (She was a Stark b 1823 Laurens Co, SC) , Mary 10 f KY (She was Mary P. JONES) ,Jackson 5 m KY (He was Jackson W. JONES) ,James 3 m KY (He was James McClure JONES) ,Ann 1 f KY (She was Ann E. JONES Fam 549 MOIZE ?, Nancy 46 f Tn ,L. 16 f Tn (Have no idea who this family is) ,Mary 8 f Ky Fam 550 Fagan, C. 35 m Ireland ,Mary 25 f Tn ,James 7 m Ky ,Eliz 5 f Ky ,Rachel 4 f Ky ,Wm 2 m Ky JONES, James 75 m NC farmer Fam 548 Stark family Now to make a point here, The STARK families are related to Frances L. Jones. I really think the MOIZE should be MORSE. The James Jones 75 b NC I think is the grandfather of Mary FAGAN and James Garland JONES (not listed, already dead, husband of Frances L. Stark JONES. All the listing above is from SW Graves Co, Kentucky. Additional JONES listing from SW Graves Co, Kentucky (Head of Household Only) Fam 34 James JONES 48 m farmer NC Fam 69 T. L. MORSE 27 m merchant TN (living in household, E. JONES f 10 KY) Fam 77 LeRoy JONES 37 m farmer TN Fam 87 Wm W JONES 41 m tanner KY Fam 98 William JONES 44 m KY Fam 99 W MEACHAM29 m KY (listed as W.A. MEACHAM) Fam 100 C. JONES 8 m NC (living in household of J.J. MEACHAM) Fam 106 W.S. JONES 44 m farmer TN Fam 146 E.? MOIZE 35 m farmer NC (think this should be MORSE) Fam 289 J. JONES 16 m farmer TN (living in household of M.W.Galloway) Fam 298 B.B. JONES 40 m farmer NC Fam 302 T.J. JONES 36 m TN Fam 589 J.W. JONES 39 m Blksmith TN >From the other section of Graves Co but right next to SW portion is Fam 770 Aquilla JONES 54 m NC Now my theroy is this: The James JONES that is 75 and living in the household of C. FAGAN is the father of James JONES Fam 34 and William JONES Fam 98 and probably many of these others. I think James JONES 75 is the grandfather in law of Frances L. JONES Fam 548 and the William JONES fam 98 is the father of the dead husband, James Garland JONES, of Frances L. Stark JONES......James Garland named a son James and James named a son William......in all these families listed James and William appears to be the name of choice! I do know the family came from North Carolina.......! Now prove me wrong.........thank you in advance.........pj
